I have heard good things about it. The biggest problem that I know of is that it is not available in AE.

Yeah, but I already have 3 pieces of AE on the concerning player
I'm simply considering where to invest his final 15-20 skill points

I could also consider one those new SAs, we are getting next season

I put it to a natural 10 ever since the change. I have absolutely no basis for evaluating how useful it's been. *shrug*

Which is strange this many seasons after the change. How hard could it possibly be to add Hands to the table of possible bonuses? I'm sure it's not a huge priority, but I can't imagine it would be that difficult or time consuming.

I'd love to be able to try it out without having to sink tons of SPs into it. I know that this season I started experimenting with adding lots of Showboat Blocker to my O-line and the results look very good to me, we have one of the most dangerous O-lines in the league (despite being 8-20 levels below the other good teams in our conference and most of our linemen only having 1 point in Pancake). What's more, Showboat Blocker only works when you get a pancake while Hands works every play. If you stack the two to greatly increase both morale and energy drain then compliment it with a heavy dose of running plays to control the clock and string together long drives, I wouldn't be surprised to see defenses start to collapse in the 2nd half.

I have started putting some into my guard and have seen an increase in pancakes over the last 2 seasons. He seems to play better deeper into games now. It's hard to definitively tell if this is due to Hands or other factors though (such as increased confidence). Theoretically, Hands is a good, stackable SA for the o-line if it works correctly. It should be available in the AEQ store though considering that all of the stupid OOP ones are.
