Hey Bort, you ever think about shortening the season to 30 days, instead of 40?

No, that would really be too short I think. Leagues would have to be smaller, etc.

Is there a guide somewhere for what types/tiers of equipment become available in the AEQ store at different player levels?

No, I don't think there is.

Was there some sort of house cleaning done at some point that erased some of the trophies and links?

User Page Tournament Trophy = mine says 4, but if you click on it, there is one listed.

Not that this is a huge issue, but it was brought up in the bug's forum awhile back.



No, though I think the original script generated some erroneous data here and there. It's possible yours is one of those. Or did you really win 4 tourney trophies?

Bort, do you have a living will? As in, not to be negative thinking BUT, if something where to happen who would take over GLB?

I kind have a lot invested here, and I honestly would hate anything bad to happen to you or most others at this site but still would make me feel slightly more comfortable making future flex purchases if everything in this game's future was not dependent on one person. Unexpected things happen all the time though so I wonder if anyone could be able to decipher and work with GLB code if ever need be. Do you currently have any type of apprentice or plan to in the near future ?

Haha, yes we have documentation and all that on all the server info, etc, just in case.

Yes, but defenders don't necessarily always blitz if they're in your face. I mean you do understand the concept of coverage disguises correct? Additionally, your DPC doesn't give the DC too many options on location for blitzers so I'm not really sure where you're go with this. You want us to blitz from 5 yards back for Disguise Blitz to work?

Hell it doesn't even work for DB's at this point.

I dunno, maybe it could be increased in strength, but it would require a bunch o testing. If it's proven to be an issue, I'm sure Catch and the boys will bring it up this offseason to test out.

Any chance of fixing zones anytime soon? Deep zones and even medium zones appear to make the player stay as far from play as possible. Also, reactions from safeties in zones to runs are a bit absurd now regardless of build. Like the vision "penalty/check" is much too hard now.

etc etc

Seems like the D players aren't even reacting to the ball anymore. Just moving back and back and back and back...

When will D be relevant again?


Deep zone is working as intended and suggested by several testers this past offseason. Their primary assignment is to stay above the deepest receiver at all times. Doesn't mean it couldn't use adjustments, but if so it will be brought up to test again this offseason I'm sure. Also, keep in mind coverage distance settings still apply to safeties as an extra cushion to what's given by the zone.

Bort, if you had a choice of an Offense philosophy would you choose, ground and pound or an effective passing game?

Both have their place, but I guess passing teams are always more exciting, especially if you have a Manning or a Brady or a Favre, etc. at the helm.

Consider it broughten . I'll test and promise to only be 80% biased!

Glb can't stunt or overload very well which his how many sacks happen in the nfl. It's not often that they bring more bodies than blockers. So things like disguise or head of steam are all we have to confuse o line. Their vision checks are too easy and makes little sense how a RG can read a weak side blitz and get across the formation in time to block the 160 speed guys

Ummm maybe having <10 in blocking and not being designed to block?

Referring to pulling linemen plays:

Why do O-linemen with 90 speed and 90 agility and all of the maxed out VA's to help (outside blocker, pulling linemen etc.,) only perform nearly the same as other O-linemen with 60 speed or less and 90 agility and the same VA's?

It certainly doesn't make it useful to go outside the cookie cutter builds. The difference is barely noticeable.

Any explenation?

Heck, I have seen O-linemen with 100+ speed and Agility crawl like a turtle on the O-line in their proper position or in a position with a small penalty. They jam on special teams, but look like they are in quick sand during a pulling play.

What gives?

Heavy players have pretty bad acceleration, so the short distance and changes of direction on a pulling play (vs special teams) probably has something to do with it. It's hard to see much differentiation between players when they are only moving 3 yards.

Pulling linemen actually get a little bonus to movement regardless of their skill levels, which makes pulling somewhat possible with super slow players, further reducing that gap. I'd think you would see a fair difference once they actually get outside if they manage to lead block upfield though?

How do blockers (especially wide receivers) decide whether to attempt a hard block versus a regular block?

Can wide receivers to use Cut Block SA during an offensive play? I'm not sure I've ever seen it. (Hard to tell because of cut blocks though.)

Depends on the angle they are at; if the can't get in "front" of the player, they'll try to smack him from the side with a hard block.

Cut block should work in any run blocking situation, for any position.

Will you be having active players anytime soon? ( Bort )

I don't get this question. We wouldn't be in business if we didn't have any active players.

The CB is still playing coverage (failing vision checks vs run) and the WR is heading downfield to lead block the nearest guy.

I think he's asking if I will make any new players. Probably not.

Has anything been done to make returners FC more this season than last season. Seems like I see more and more returners call for a FC when no one is around them for 10-15 yards.

Examples?
