Title: BODY SHIELD
Script: This receiver is adept at shielding the incomming pass getting his body inbetween the ball and the defender making it harder for the defender to defend or intercept the pass. Each level of BODY SHIELD gives a -2% penality to pass deflection/interception chance and a 1% catch pass chance.
Prerequsites: 6;1", 210 lbs, 50 Strength

If to be too powerful, then I would be amenable to remove the +1% to the receiver

-30% PD chance is still extremely powerful and I doubt Bort wants to mess that significantly with the catch ball roll given the AE is out there for +PD% and +CB% already

Could still cut it in half and cause a 1% penalty

Or to modify it even still, make it an optional SA, where it would be a bonus for Srtength receivers and a penalty to speed receivers and let Bort and the gang set the numbers for +/-'s

Isn't needed since you can build a WR that does this WITHOUT the VA you suggest. I know cuz I already been there and done that.
-1

No way. Passing game is too strong now and you want bonus?

+1

+1, passing % shouldnt hover around 50%

Perhaps we should change the VA to be for passes 10 yards or less? Then we could actually run West Coast offenses

I could go along w/ that. tailor it more for the possesssion/strong receiver/TE

only if theres a va that boosts interception % , pass deflection %, knocked loose pass %, FF%, FR %, sack % all in one VA.

it's a slippery slope, and most WRs have good VAs and don't see a problem with catches as it is (at least at higher levels).


perhaps if there were a counter VA;

Box Out - This defender is really good at using his body to get in the way of the WR. When playing man coverage, the CB has a +1% PD and KL chance and the WR he is covering has a -1% catch chance on passes over 10 yards.

similar prereqs, maybe easier on the weight since CBs are almost always lighter, and you'd have MASSIVE complaints




all in all I'm a -1 on this, just too much at this stage in the game... but I could maybe be a -0.25 with a defensive counter VA

In one of my GM'ed teams forums where I originally had this posted, someone DID post a defensive counterpart to Body Shield, but unfortunatley, and I respect him dearly, KoB had deleated all or just about all posts in the team forum, including my original and the counterpost,
