Can you explain more clearly the step-by-step process of breaking a tackle (without SAs)? More specifically, I was wondering when and why "tackler dragging" occurs. Also, does the act of dragging and shedding dragged tacklers call on any specific attributes more heavily than the ones used in conventional break tackle rolls, like agility for "balance" or something like that? Any others?

Pt. 2: Do you think the Shed Weight VA is underrated?

Ooh, a non suggestion!

When a tackle happens, there's a rolloff between the ball carrier and the the tackler for their respective tackle and break tackle scores. The tackler has to beat the ball carrier's score to bring him down. The more he beats him by, the better the tackle, and the more the ball carrier is stopped, or he might even fumble. If the tackler barely loses to the ball carrier, he gets pulled into "getting dragged" mode. Then each successive tick, he gets to try another similar rolloff, with strength-based rolls. If he continues to roll well enough to hold on, the ball carrier gets his balance reduced (agility bonus to lose less) until he eventually falls down. If not, the ball carrier drops him.

I don't know how the Shed Weight VA tends to be rated, but maybe. Dragging happens pretty frequently, actually, even if for only 1 tick (which makes it pretty unnoticeable).

Who in your opinion has more of an advantage in the passing game? Offense or Defense in glb?

That's team/build specific. On a completely neutral ground, I'd say it's a small advantage to the offense since they can set progressions to attack certain weak spots of the defense.

Has GLB ever been motivated to have some 'for the good of the community' type sales? I vaguely remember GLB donating to some Oregon-based youth sports group (DD made an announcement at the time).

I guess this is sort of a laced suggestion, but I (as well as plenty of others) would love to see some initiatives in the case of disasters, etc. I think some of us struggle to justify flex purchases with ourselves, wives, etc., but things of this nature would more often than not push some people over their soft limits.

Something like "GLB will make a donation equivalent to 50% of sales from Jan X to Feb X". It's not a +reward points type sale, just something where you could feel good about buying flexies. Tapping into emotion obviously. And GLB gets the write-off as their benefit.

how many past 2 have you had now?

I'm not involved in that part of the business, but I do know DD mentioned donating to Oregon youth leagues again this year.

Seems reasonable to just do a check when a piece of EQ is bought, if nothing is already equipped in that slot, it automatically puts it on.

Yea, what I'm thinking is on the creation screen you choose a attribute for your regular EQ and it automatically equips all four pieces with that attribute.

Shouldn't :jdbolick: produce a super-sized facepalm?

seeing as how there have been suggestions in this thread and they have sparked some good discussion, do you think there could be a Q&A Suggestions thread in the future?

*sigh*

Suggestion.

Past team ownership isn't stored in the database, so that isn't really possible at the moment.

So does "Casual" fit closer to the original plan?

That's why we have it, yeah.

I'd rather users post their suggestions in the Suggestions forum - I'll try and go through the Suggestions forum and pass on some of the better ideas to Bort in the near future.

Is a defensive team full of tall players better than a team full of small players with identical builds?
