I think rip the ball should be raised by 1or 2% per level otherwise its just a more situational Power Tackler. 5% sounds good considering how hard it is to drag someone.

Also according to the list Rip the Ball has more requirements as well. I suggested Rip the Ball back when Power Tackler was still 2% so that's probably why the %'s are the same after Power Tackler got its upgrade

Nice catch, i never noticed how utterly useless Rip the Ball is, Power tackling is the same bonus with no limitation...
Everyone is flocking to this VA cause it sounds cool, but its quite useless unless you are stacking it with power tackling already.

The reasoning behind that could well be that if you make Rip the Ball much better due to its limitation, then it stacks with Power Tackler and could get out of hand.

Then again, I firmly believe that VAs should work under a "only the highest bonus applies" situation.

Were that the case, you could safely raise Rip the Ball up as high as 4-5%, while keeping Power Tackler at 2%, and you wouldn't get crazy shit like +105% to cause fumbles.

which would still only cause like 2 FF's a year......

Yeah i don't see rip the ball breaking anything even if it was 5%...

EDIT: found my answer. Thanks.

I'm a tad annoyed that we have VAs that have height / weight restrictions; since we've never had control over those attributes until this offseason.

I'd like to see us have a chance to modify our existing players heights / weights or to have those players be exempt from the VA restrictions.

Join the good fight!

Mentor
Other players sometimes make the best coaches. Each level of Mentor gives a +1% in-game bonus to vision and confidence for all teammates of the same position who are at least 40 days younger and no more than 3 levels higher than this player, as long as this player is on the depth chart for the game. This ability stacks with other mentors on the team, up to a maximum of a 25% bonus per position. Prereqs: level 32

Could I get a little clarification on Mentor? I think that this skill works on any player of the same "class" as the mentor- so if my LB has mentor and is on the depth chart as MLB, he will affect all LB on the team, whether playing OLB, MLB, ILB, SS, or whatever. However if a DE was playing MLB the bonus would not affect him. Is this right?

On a similar note, has bort ever posted the minimum out of position penalty?

Hmmmmmm.....I'm already lining up my favorites. If they work, I'll let you guys know.

There is so much to read through...

Technique Man
This player has great technique when fighting blockers. Each level of Technique Man gives a +2% bonus to breaking pass blocks when using the Evasive pass rush tactic, if the blocker has at least 10% less agility. Prereqs: agility 50

Does this VA take into consideration equipment or is it just natural abilities?

Confused about the 'no more than 3 levels higher' part

A level 60 can mentor a 55. That hasn't changed. Now, however, a level 52 can also mentor the 55.
