Warrior General Games

Lets hear what people think


for me its Blocking...

i wish i had spend SP on it just to 2nd cap...

Hmmm, I'm not sure I agree completely. If you consider "pancake" a skill that'd be it. Blocking is good and cheap to get to 68. I'd never put equip on it though. Some people think you need 60 confidence, which I disagree. I have 49 and line general works well. And the C rarely has issues with confidence with line general.

If you have good depth, I think the General skills are worthless....especially with a Motivator on the sidelines...

I'd have to say Great Blocker is the most overrated.

Vision by far. Add 10 vision in the 30 - 50 area and try to notice the difference. Good luck!

b.t.w.: the guys with crappy blocking (60-85 area) always blame the guards and tackles for all the sacks. Just coincidence in their eyes...

definitely agree with confidence. No defensive player should ever take it over the soft cap, nor does it need to be capped before level 50 or so.

Blocking is now more underrated than confidence.

Just curious . . . how do you know line general works well? Did you do a comparison in a friendly with EQ on and off?

Regarding vision . . . If GLB were true to life -- HA HA HA! Um, sorry for that outburst . . . If GLB were true to life, vision (i.e., overall game knowledge) would be tied to line general.

LOL! A nice dose of confidence can make your dot do some sick stuff. For those of us that know what it does, we loves it.

what is it gonna make a center do? It seemed to make my LB worse rather than better, although it seemed to help Snydes out 2 or 3 seasons ago.

it's my theory that confidence helps any play reduce the variance in any skill roll they have. So, it would help them hold blocks, push back defenders, not get swum, stunned or beat, help them pancake, etc.

Nice theory, if this is true, very yummy. Do you believe it also reduces positive variance, or only low variance?

I'd say, on about every snap you'll get your blocks shed a couple of times (usually the blocker engages again if he isn't stunned or reverse pancaked). Now if each and every time he's loosing a tiny bit of in-game morale...

(just a wild guess)

For Center? Vision..

I think it raises the low variance, does nothing for/to the top end.
