No, just purchase price.

The main problem with the 400 point price is that people create multis to buy cash farm teams. We have to go through and get rid of a bunch every season. If they were more than 400, they couldn't use the initial points to buy a team.

Super vision has been described as it only applies when playing defense - not offense or special teams. Yet, it's strangely absent from all the exclusion SA lists, unlike things like blitzing SAs that are clearly defense only and only available to defensive positions.
Is this an oversight on the exclusion list, or is it going to do something on offense/STs now? Can it either be added to the exclusion list or can we get a description of how it affects offensive positions?


Special teams tacklers can still use superior vision to avoid fakes.

do the power rb's SA's effectiveness depend only on strength or on carrying/agility/speed//vision etc too?

How about displaying numbers in replays and automatically assigning them to those who haven't?

Appears to be some network problem at the host. Not sure.

- on the flash replays, will there be more options for different types of fields? (baseball, muddy, artificial turf, etc)


Same as there are now. However, we'll probably expand to add more options for flash replays in the future, including perhaps full custom field.

That's it for the questions (Brutus ask yours again after I open it, we missed it somehow). We're going to go through and answer most of the remaining ones that have been asked

What gives a greater boost to speed and acceleration following breaking a block, First Step or Tunnel Vision?


Probably Tunnel Vision, since you're likely not stopped to get First Step bonus.

It applies on special teams - that is why it is available.

If WRs get a penalty with X defenders near them, I don't know if it's working right as a lot of passes appear to be caught with "crowds" of defenders all around the receiver. Has this been tested thoroughly? Just seems like it has the opposite effect. And QBs seem to ignore a 1 on 1 coverage to throw into 2-3+ man coverage a whole lot too.


We've done a lot of random tests at various times regarding this, bumping it up and down, etc. It applies a penalty. I thinks some WRs just have very high catching scores.

Sorry for the convoluted question but:
What factors are considered in the catching score? Are SAs and VAs that do not alter attributes considered?


Catching, jumping, vision, strength, speed you are traveling, agility, whether the pass is high or low, defenders nearby + SAs like sticky hands or VAs that give bonuses. There can be multiple things that going on during a catch, though, such as bobbles, knocked loose tackles, or deflections.

Bort:

There was talk about "frequent" Flex Point buyer/user bonuses. It was discussed several months ago, so, is there any chance of this happening anytime sooner rather then later?

Thank you both for your time.
