Is the Hold Block versus Break Block roll separate from the Pancake versus non pancake roll in the blocking sequence of events or are they a combined roll? If they are separate rolls which I tend to think they are does Hold Block % gear increase your blocking score during the Pancake roll ?

Okay, thanks. And good job on spelling 'peak' correctly.

Heh, I was just copying what you posted.

What are the odds that the World League will be replaced by another style? Or the World League expands to 20, 22 teams?

Hmm, World Leage Expanding from 32 to 22 teams, kinda weird if you ask me.

i know Bort has addressed the site slowness issues with the host, is there a contingency plan if they cant get their shit together and the site continues to have problems?

If we have to, we'll be switching to hosting everything ourselves 100%. There'd be a large upfront cost associated with buying all the hardware, though, not to mention the headache of actually moving all the data and IP's and everything, so I'd prefer not to have to go down that path if we don't have to. It's possible we may end up doing it when we launch future products, though; it would save us $$ in the long run.

Probably not happening. World League in it's current form is something that will be staying.

any chance you could make the distances in the scouting tool user definable? the new updates to it are pretty good, but that one little thing spoils it a bit - 0-3, 3-10 and 10+ yards doesn't really match up with most people's AI's, if you can't make it user definable, at least change it to 0-3, 3-7, +7 at least maybe?

also - in the auto adjust, does a incomplete pass have any effect ?

Is there any update on adding Iron Man Leagues into the mix?

Yes, we will be uploading a new suggestion system quite soon which includes voting, so we can gauge what the interest REALLY is on it. If it's very small, it will not be right away. If there's a lot of interest, we'll get it going sooner than later. I currently have moderators helping me move suggestions into the list for voting.

Can you elaborate on that or is it something we're going to have to wait for ?.

oh jeez, by 5 to 6 i figured you meant a time zone that mattered

My question though, is about O line blocking vs blitzers. The only way to fix this is to basically tell the O line who is blitzing (like Peyton manning and Drew brees do with a hard count to see who jumps). Then if there is more blitzers then blockers, you get the option to hold back a HB or TE. Then if there are still more, the O line decides who to leave out. Opinions on that? I am just tired of seeing my RG run across the pocket trying to pick up the ROLB.

Why doesn't the WL have a nice shiny unique trophy.gif?

Seems like it'd be a no brainer especially with all the extra help you've got these days.

large upfront cost = flex sale & accelerated dot to lvl 40 at the same time IMO.

you'll make MILLIONS

Is passing style directly related to pass height?

For example: I see LB's with no more then 30 catching yet they intercept bullet passes in -99 style at an alarming rate due to the fact that they are in the passing lane. If a pass was more loftier would it sail over a shallow LBer or does the ball take the same path of ball height every time?

Strength, carrying, agility, vision, velocity at time of impact = avoid fumble
Strength, tackling, agility, vision, velocity at time of impact = cause fumble

Compare the two, smash 'em together and roll some random dice. You get your outcome.

Thanks man.

This helps.

I understand that you guys are in serious talks about restructuring the whole League thing based on Age rather than lvl.

Wondering why you guys would not Restructure the whole League thing based off of Player Value rather than Age or Lvl as Player Value seems to be the Most Effective Way of determining how good a team is against another.

Wow, Bort answered my question in 24 seconds. Amazing.

I'd like to follow up on your previous answer about the Force/ Avoid Fumble bit.

You Posted.

Strength, carrying, agility, vision, velocity at time of impact = avoid fumble
Strength, tackling, agility, vision, velocity at time of impact = cause fumble

Now are you saying the 1st Thing you posted more Important than the next? (ie, Strength is more important than Carrying, Carrying is more Important than Agility....so on and so on.

Or did you just list all the Items that go into the Avoid/Force Fumble Roll?

No particular order.

Also I forgot weight. It sorta tries to come up with a "force of impact" calculation.
