Warrior General Games

We should have the option to use more advanced player tactics with input similar to the DAI. Essentially, let us choose our tactics based on down/distance/field position/score/time remaining. This would more closely resemble play style in real football.

For example, a DB will play differently on 3rd and long (wrap up and medium/loose) versus within the 5 yard line (semi or aggressive/balanced). The defense also plays more aggressively when their team is behind at the end of the game and more safely when they are winning at the end of the game.

On offense, blockers could change style based on whether they are more likely to pass or run and rushers can go power on short yardage plays but elusive on longer distance plays.

the individual tactics are really just a lame part of this game right now. Probably should just do away with them all together.

Or make them better so that they make sense.

For me - I would enjoy this. But for the sake of discussion, it's at least worth pointing out the flip side. Currently, it's difficult if not impossible to get all agents to adjust their player tactics as necessary based on input by the coordinators. And this typically involves only 1 or 2 selections. If this change were to happen, one concern is that making it more complicated would make it even harder to get agents to update their tactics. Arguably - this could create a lot more work for coordinators - who would have to council some of their agents (who may not be as experienced as coordinators / owners with this type of setup) on how to set their tactics.

Anyway - I think this is one of those ideas that would be great for those agents who are involved, log on every day, and have experience either as a coordinator or owner. But for all the other agents, this might be a complication and could actually make much more work for coordinators. Perhaps it would have to involve an option - something like "Choose advance or standard tactics AI". And then, based on that input, the agent would get the current set of options, or something along the lines of those in the op.

Maybe. Tho they would have to be super situational. Which would probably suck if done right. Especially for those with a lot of players.

+1 to this idea.

Kiber brings up a good counter argument also. it would be harder to get all agents on the same page.


but this would work great if they were to implement another suggestion to have the option to let agents set their tactics according to team tactics witch would be set by the coordinators automatically.
