Warrior General Games

I want to clarify the way the coverage cushion slider works.

Say in casual, I am at -50. Does the base cushion vary play by play (casual only)? For instance, a DC in regular leagues can set the cushion in the DAI to add to the individual cushion. This would mean that a max cushion for a casual dot is +100, whereas a max cushion for a non casual team is +200, right?


This really has me wondering if each casual D play has a built in cushion that is then added to the individual cushion. I would assume so since each D play is based on some soft of AI, especially in the presets.

Otherwise, the overall sim in casual should show a much tighter cushion on pbp that the regular game sims. Most people play pretty tight on individual tactics, so that general trend + the DAI ability to set a cushion should equal a looser coverage look in pbp for regular leagues.

Clarification is appreciated.

I would be surprised if many DCs used that extra cushion option.

Yeah, true. I guess to simplify, I want to know if the max cushion in casual is +100 and the max in reg +200. The implications are as follows:

1) the max cushions are the same, thus saying that in casual, a built in cushion is somehow coded in on each play, so say 4-3 balanced medium is different than the same play in regular (where the DC sets it). Or,

2) the cushions in the DAI don't do anything.


Thx

If you don't want to wait for a Q&A then your best bet would be to PM Catch. None of us would have any idea.

Ok, so based on what catch said in a PM, the cushion defalut in casual is 1 yard. Do regular DCS only have the option to shorten the cushion in the DAI?

1 is the default for us, and we can only add to it.

Ok. That's what I suspected. Basically a reg AI team can have more of a cushion overall, if they want.
