Warrior General Games

looks like they nerfed RBs by changing how tackling is done, and are making a pocket that collapses.

Even though they gave into all the whiners and are going to change the sim midseason, I like how they're addressing the problems - a lot better than how I imagined they were going to nerf shit.

Hopefully Bort doesn't overdo it.

Yeah it seems like he didn't go too overboard. The dragging of defenders should help with the 3+ defenders converging on a power back to no avail. I also like the secondary vision checks so they all don't instantly break for the ball.

Not to mention DOT COLORS .

Would it be GLB if it wasn't overdone?

Agreed on the secondary vision check part and that makes me happy that all my higher leveled CBs have 68+ vision.

The problem isn't with tackling, its with blocking. So now those teams that actually fucking adjusted get screwed and we got pretty new colors! Awesome!

Well if all RBs take a hit, Csonka can still dominate while most of the other RBs might not be able to. It could be a big update for MEM.

well, to be specific, the RBs are going to slow down more during missed tackles/gang tackling so this is going to effect power guys who break a lot of tackles as opposed guys who tend to break less tackles.

That's one possible interpretation and outcome.

A balance between the Power HB and the Speed HB would be nice.

Fine by me, just kind of dumb to implement this half way through the season.

I think this is not quite right. My take on what it says is that the probability of a missed tackle becoming a "drag" has increased a little.

The result could be that the RB has to drag more defenders, and would slow down. But it could also be that RBs who are blasting thru defenders (say only a 5% chance for a drag), are still quite likely to get by them (say a 20% chance for a drag). The defender could still miss the drag roll, so there could be no effect.

It's about time. Way more overdue than anything else in the update.

Hopefully this will lead to a slow down when running through the entire OL and DL without losing any speed.

Bort didn't spend his time making all the new colors...a mod did it.
