My question concerns Cut Block, and it's practically a mini-series:

1) Does Cut Block work in pass blocking situations?

2) When/how does Cut Block fire?

3) What helps Cut Block to be successful? Obviously higher levels of the SA, but, what else? If I had to guess, I'd say Blocking, Agility and Vision.

4) My level 65 Guard is the perfect Cut Block experiment. He had 1 in there last season, and before the first preseason game he had 7. He has 103 Blocking (with VAs), 83 Agility and 70 Vision, so I would expect him to be successful occasionally with Cut Block. Right now, I'd estimate that he successfully performs a Cut Block around 5% of the time, assuming the only time he can Cut Block is when he is revcaked in the running game. For a 7 in Cut Block, that seems awfully low. Shouldn't this SA receive a bump?

When Bort added the marketplace he talked about doing away with the players looking for teams forum. With the ability to now add comments, the purpose is even less needed now. Is there plan to shut down these forums and move everything to the the marketplace system?

When can we expect an overhaul of the ST replays?

If Hail Mary is measured from the QB to the receiver, is that also the case for Possession Receiver?
And are distance based mechanics measured from the center of the dots or from the perimeter of the dots? This would be particularly useful to know in the case of very short distances such as when Gang Tackle would be active.

Are any more individual stats going to be added in the future for dots ? Like sacks given up , or TD's. Thanks.

Yes, they can lead the WR based on his route and upcoming cuts in the route. The QB takes into account current speed and max speed, but not ball hawk. Ball hawk for receivers is more for getting to bad passes.


So a WR if he messes up his route, or has to slow down on his vision check. The ball will go right to him, instead of where the play says it should go?

Also : My GF thinks you're cute. Are you single?

Actually why are there no SA for kickers with archtypes?


I didn't realize it was dry but one of the main reasons is probably a lot of teams started over with the archetypes.

As for why there are no extra SA's for kickers - because pretty much every situation possible is already handled by the existing VA's or SA's and we couldn't come up with any unique ones.

Not any time in the near future - too many people use the PLFT forum and we're afraid if we shut it down it would spill over into the other forums.

I'm not sure I understand your question - please expand.

1) Yes

2) Whenever the blocker is losing and likely to be pancaked soon, he has a chance to use it

3) Just the SA level, and being a poor blocker

4) I would have to do some testing to say for sure. Catch will get to this one in his testing I am sure.

Yes, it's on the list of things to do, just a matter of having the time to do it.

Hail Mary is y distance from the QB to receiver (not as the crow flies).

Poss Receiver is from the LOS

Distances are from the center of the dots.

Now that energy has been bumped up it seems like HBs are harder to tackle. Has any testing been put into unexpected results of rolling back the energy and moral this season?

Exactly how much is the penalty if you have SP in a penalty SA?

Is there any way we can see an example of what the flash replays will look like?

I know there are apparently still some bugs but to me it doesn't seem to be asking too much for a perfected "prototype" to be release just so we can get an idea.
