How would this be implemented?
This could be implemented into GLB by following these guidelines:
• Create a VA titled "Team Captain". This VA would have only one requirement: Be named a captain on the player's current team. (Full description below)
• Each team owner would have the ability to name three captains per team. They could be on offense, defense, or special teams.
• Each team captain would have on an * or a small letter c next to their name to denote captaincy.
• If there was more than one "Team Captain" on the field at the same time, only the player with the higher fame would activate the bonus.
• This bonus provided by the VA would be similar in effect to the SA Field General or the SA Line General, except that it would affect every player on the team.


Q: What happens if a player puts VA points into Team Captain one season with one team, and then, in the next season, joins a team that already has three team captains?
A: That's what the VA re-set is for. The VA won't work if you aren't a team captain on your current team.



This right here is why I have to say -1

I LOVE the idea and I am all for it, but there are way to many variables involved. Lets say that my MLB is a team captain and than 2 seasons later the team he was on was sold for what ever reason and now I am looking for a home. I find a team that has 3 team captains even though my MLB has the VA and it is maxed out with 15. My VA resets are going to take me 3 seasons to get that VA knocked down to 0.

So now I have a VA that I can not use for 3 seasons, I have wasted the effort to choose the VA and now I am sitting on a team not a team captain with a maxed out VA.

Sorry Jersey, I like the idea but there are two many variables that have to be considered.

Too lazy to read through 9 pages to see if this was mentioned but what if this one VA has an completely automatic and free reset once you lose your captain's role?

I would still have to say no because I did not think about this here and this is a REALLY good point:

I could see teams neglecting special team captains and just going with something screwy like both starter and backup centers having team captain, so that the offense is guaranteed a bonus on every play. Are centers typically team captains? No. But do you really want your starting QB or HB or WR even sacrificing 15 VA's for a moral boost and vision % to everyone? Not when the Center could do it! And don't forget, how many plays would that one hb or wr have on the field? What if its a 3 back or 4 back system? You'd be stupid to make one a team captain, because he'd only see a handful of plays. So it naturally gravitates to a lineman or te or fb even. Not exactly your typical "team captain."

People would game the system and I am for fair play.

This is actually a good idea, but it should be limited to the team marking that player as a captain, then the VA option is made available. If that player leaves during the season, the VA points are returned for redistribution into other VAs.

i agree. in fact its the only way i agree. ii dont want to recruit players with a bunch of points in team captain, because i may already have 3 captains.

+1

Only if you limit who can be named team captain (or at least select the VA). Make a fame requirement to pick up the VA. Make team captains available to certain positions. This isn't realistic, but it prevents teams from using VA light positions for their captains to gain a bonus. Make them sacrifice to have the team captain VA. Don't just make it another "add-on" VA for specific positions.

skill positions and lb's/safeties

Again, I love this idea but there has to be something that prevents a team from exploiting the system on it. Someone exploiting the system is why I gave it a -1 due to to many variables, but if we can keep it from being exploited than I will give it a +1.

I like this idea very much, but I agree even more with idea of rather than allowing the player to have the choice of being a team captain by adding a "Team Captain" special ability.

I think the team owner should be able to select/choose which players they would like to be team captains, as well as have the option to remove players as team captains. This would be better since there is always a chance that a player chosen as a TC could go inactive for a long period of time.

3 team captains is also a good number. 1 player on offense, 1 on defense, and 1 on special teams.

I like but with one change.

Let the players spend VA on it as they wish. Then Coaches could assign Captaincy based upon leadership ability rather than random choice or "nepotism".

However since they nerfed away the Mentoring and the other leadership like stats, I tend to think this is not going anywhere.

But I like the concept - as well as mentoring etc.

Love it.

This would be a good addition...

Jersey, could you add this in at the end of the original post?

Not a fan of this at all.
