Is there any discussion about fixing the catch location on the singleback wr screen? currently the ball is being caught 2-4 yards beyond the line of scrimmage and basically breaks all the rules of what a 'screen' play should do...


No. We fixed the location several seasons ago and have no plans on changing it. We can rename the play if the naming convention is that big of an issue.

In the last Q&A Bort said he wasn't planning to devote any time to making Ironman leagues for the time being. Has there been any further thought to attempting it or is it more of a possibility now?


Answer still stands. On the backburner and probably not going to happen.

Since AIs and packages will also eventually be user-owned, will this fix the issue of packages not retaining DPC plays when copied?


It should as far as I know.

Why do LB's react differently to the run based on which position they are playing - ie: I have a linebacker who reads run perfectly at lolb and always seems a step or two slower at mlb

Is this build related or sim related and does archetype have anything to do with it?


More position and what they can see. The MLB doesn't have as clear a field of vision as an OLB does. I'll ask Bort if there are any other factors as well but pretty sure that's it.

When is the SA testing going to start? Will there be another announcement for it? Will the users be told when the testing is finished?

Will there be any more SA's that get notification that they are firing in the sim?


Not a priority as Bort has reviewed the SA's and feels confident with how they are working. If we do SA/VA testing it will be solely done internally by GLB as we do not want to provide too much information on SA's. If as a result of those tests (if we do them) we make changes, then GLB users will be notified via announcements and/or changelog entries.

I'm sure we will add more notifications for SA's firing in time.

Does that mean OAI and DAI?


Yes, all playbooks. OAI and DAI will still be a ways off though as they are more time intensive coding wise.

Question about ShowBoat VA - if you have 15 in it, that equates to 75% morale loss when pancaked by that player...what exactly is the 75% morale loss pulled from? 75% overall morale for a DE if facing a showboat OT?

Please clarify


Mat's answer is correct.

It's a 75% increase to the would be morale loss as a result of the pancake. So let's say a pancake results in a morale loss of 5. With a 75% increase, the player would lose 8.75 morale.

Will "Juke" and "Head Fake" ever show up on the pbp when they fire like spin etc?



They already do via the shrinking dot. If you mean text description, then I'm not sure... possible I suppose.

1. Why do effective level rankings seem wrong? How long has it been since they have been updated? How long has Admin been aware of a problem, and not done anything?

2. The Admin has been aware of the Endzone Bugs for a long time and nothing has been resolved yet... is this a priority?

3. Is there a reason defensive players frequently run into their own players, yet I can't recall a single instance of the offense doing it? I made a suggestion about it a month ago, but it hasn't been recognized by any of the suggestions mods yet. Which leads me to a follow-up question, how come good ideas get ignored... like MatMcBriar's suggestion to sort teams twice during the offseason?

4. Are there more changes in the works to make coordinating easier and faster?


1. They aren't wrong.

2. Will get Bort to answer - all I can do is file the bug for him to deal with.

3. Just because you think a Suggestion is a good one does it make it a good one. As stated previously in this thread, contact a Moderator or Admin if you think you have a Suggestion that has received enough positive support to merit consideration.

4. Yes.

Clock Manager VA says each level "gives a +2.5% bonus to catching passes as a receiver, or +2.5% to pass quality as a QB..."

Does the receiving bonus apply to TEs, HBs, and FBs?


Yes.

Answered the ones I could. Have submitted the remainder to Bort - will post back when he has answered them (it might be a little while so please be patient).

If a defenseman is lined up on a TE in man for a screen play, and said TE has the underdog or awe inspiring VA, does vision penalty apply?


Originally posted by Bort
Yep.

Why do centers get reversed cake more than any of the other lineman despite typically having the greater build in all aspects? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense




Originally posted by Bort
I haven't done much testing as to it, but I think a lot of it is that they end up in the situation of trying to hold blocks from a guy coming head on a lot more than a position like an OT or G, and have to hold them longer due to the defender's proximity. Seems like a lot of reverse pancakes happen after the play has passed them by as well, where they are still holding a block that other positions might have had broken by that point.

I can't really say for certain without really doing a bunch of iterative tests or something.
