Ok, this is going to sound like one of those crazy "Tebow" or "let us have swords" things, but in reality its just a (much) more severe version of the Streaky VA (and more realistic since it has a source of the streakiness). Plus this is what we see every week in the NFL.

Push the Envelope: This player tries his best to skirt the rules and play dirty. He will deliberately try to hurt his opponents. He may even take "supplements" to improve his performance. For each level of Push the Envelope, the player get a +1% bonus to EVERYTHING he does. But watch out, for each level of this VA he has 0.25% chance of being caught and suspended for one game (Player will remain on the roster and receive game XP but may not play).

See, when I read push the envelope VA, I figured it'd be more of a big play risk/reward VA (for example, a QB would have a chance for higher accuracy on deep throws when it works, but is more likely to be intercepted when it's not working). As it is though, it's NGTH.

horrible idea

edit: by this i mean, there is no way to hurt another dot.... there arent even penalties besides off side..... there are no suspensions in this game....

The abstract language used to justify the proposed VA is irrelevant, just change the language to eliminate the steroid and injury language.

Whats most likely NGTH though is the suspension.

Instead you should make it a penalty penalty.

The mechanics are not right either. Too powerful. Change it as follows.

THIS I would +1

1) Change the name to just plain old Dirty or something that fits on the tile.

2) Each level of Dirty gives a 1% chance that the player will use an illegal move to gain an advantage on the play. This gives a +.2% to the players stats per level of VA and raises the chance of a penalty to be called by .1% per level of the VA.

3) The Penalty could be set or variable, such as Unsportsmanlike conduct (15 yards) or holdingk (5/10 yards), with the chance of the more severe penalty being called being half that of the lesser penalty.

4) Inactive if the player is playing in the QB, K or P or PH positions during the play.

catch ruled this NGTH, not for the steroids, but mainly because the boost is too big, and because of the possibility of the player being suspended
