Extra VA reset for D-Line too? The new O-Line VAs will make D-line VA selection much different.

All of Catch's OL dots have the new VAs. Builds are comparable to current WL builds w/ consistent tactics.

Check the Test Game List, it has explainations of who had what, and when

http://test.goallineblitz.com/game/game_list.pl (The one's Catch ran in blocks of ~20, mention which VAs were in play.)

I don't mean to pile on about this play, but ignoring for a second the issue with the stuck receivers, why wasn't the throw made to the TE?
http://test.goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=4812&pbp_id=4961

He's in single coverage against a LB, exactly the kind of situation I look for as an OC. I saw this a lot last season. I scout. I game plan. I get the match up I want. The QB passes it up and throws into double coverage instead. It sounds like you're working to handle the throws into double coverage, but by making him more picky while unhurried, is he going to pass up that guy in single coverage even more?

Can we get an additional VA reset prior to the start of the season. I'd like to try the new VA's out and then have the opportunity to switch back to the old standards if I don't like the new guys.

Worringly, he passes the TE over twice, (once underneath for about 8 yards and secondly in the left corner of the endzone), both times single covered

Have no idea why you think that. If anything HB's are better because of improved OL and PQ wasn't touched except on long passes (which it should be).

Oh I get it, you just like to complain for the sake of complaining. Carry on my wayward son.



Lmao Catch is a likeable guy, but not

Imagine if your best bud was the grim reaper, he's cool and all but hes the f* grim reaper

This is the kind of shit that made me lose it, there was almost no way to avoid staring at replays and screaming at the qb to pass to the guy in single coverage, not triple.

Force fumbles:
- Decreased chance a little bit, and made carrying worth even more in the anti-fumble score. TBH making carrying worth more might increase fumbles, since lots of people seem to think 60 carrying is plenty, and put no stock into cover up (which is actually worth a lot), even though it's first on the tree. Just not as sexy of a skill I guess. Guess we'll see.


This would be great if it actually happens but I have a feeling that people will cry many, many tears when their poorly built HBs and KRs start putting it on the ground.

With carrying taking on a bigger role will we start to see more fumbles forced on WRs by HH safeties and corners?

I sure hope so... with guys built like this having trouble forcing more than 10-15% fumbles per tackle attempt right now I can only hope it means more fumbles and not less.

Bort is still working on this. These new passing changes were uploaded today so it will obviously not being working perfectly. If you watch any of the games this morning you will see that the QB will pass up a double/triple covered receiver much more often than in the past provided that they pass a vision check. They find 1o1 covg more often when given enough time.

The QB being more selective when there is no pressure is also something that was specifically addressed this morning and will probably be tuned. QBs in the past would rush throws despite there being no pressure. Most of these throws would be into double coverage or to receivers that had obvious safety help over the top. This being an example of what it is trying to fix: http://test.goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=4805&pbp_id=3436

Do you mean they find it because they're passing up the double/triple coverage and getting to the single coverage in the progression more often? Or do you mean when the get to single coverage, they'll throw it more often? My question was regarding the latter, but I think your answer had more to do with the former.
