A couple of my guys do. I know a couple of the Spicewood guys do.
I'm curious to know if we're the only ones riding this season's gravy train.

I've got it on two of my guys...110% underwhelmed. Just didn't see anything special out of it...certainly not Hulk worthy...you've got some other kinda special sauce cooking there, imo.
One of my OL that has it did get in a very nice triple pancake, but that was about it.

I personally don't think Oline needs it that much. They've got some sweet other VAs too.

if it fires on a linemen id image most linemen end up with like 150+ str/blocking, 85+ agility

True, but thats unnecessary to prevent a pass rush. They shut that down anyways. And if you're down enough for Big Heart to activate, you're passing.

lol it'd be a nice test to see if interior blocking is truly SIM broken! if those super beast O-linemen with big heart are falling down, we got a problem!

It's kinda funny that you'll be going thru the whole season hoping and wishing your team goes down by 14pts, lol.

well most of the VA's are pretty useless so why not just dump 15 into it to help out if your do get down

the Gamblers had 25 people with Big Heart - last season. After the previous seasons 8-8 struggles, I thought it would help us out in games we fell behind early but we were only behind by 14 twice though and never after the fourth game so it was essentially a waste of 15 VA's for 1/2 the team, so we didn't put any points into it this season.

but you got more than a +2 bonus to your skills for putting VA points into attribute boosters last season

Not hating on anyone who went with it, but I think it's a crock of shit VA meant for pussies who can't compete. So yea, I invested in it too.
Personally I can't stand computer assistance in any game I play. I remember the first time I dealt with it was playing head-to-head in an not so well known arcade game called "Pigskin". If you remember the game "Arch Rivals," this was basically the football game version of that. Anyway, when you got up by more than a few TD's in the second half, the other team would get "The troll" or something to that effect which was basically a god version of the little players that ran around... he was damn near impossible to tackle, if you got into a brawl with him your player was going to come out dead... faster and quicker than everyone else. Basically with him on the field the tides would turn until the other team caught back up or passed the winning team, at which point that team would get their version of the troll and back to the status quo. Don't even get me started with the head-to-head racing games that used it.
I used to turn computer assistance on every console game I'd play, first thing. If I'm going to lose, then let me lose and get better while trying.
What cracks me up is that the people who put the VA's together decided they needed to nerf the attribute VA's because 1% to one stat was too powerful... so let's go ahead and make a VA that gives 2% to EVERY stat? So stats that are at the 4:1 cap get +20 added to them? Oh yea, that's a brilliant move right there.
To me this is probably the dumbest thing that I've ever seen in this game. I understand the need not to let games get out of hand with the lopsided scores, but this is probably the worst idea I've ever seen to combat that.

Agreed. Almost makes me pine away for cruise control.

Being down 14 points isn't the end of the world in GLB. Of course, with this new VA, I'd love to start off the fourth quarter down 14 points everytime. I would pretty much guarantee a victory in that situation.
