Warrior General Games

Figured I'd post the non-Legend league stuff coming next season.

- All contracts signed during the offseason, or the first 6 days of the season will grant 50 chemistry. Gives you a fairly lenient timeframe to get your roster secured, but still punishes hotswaps and mid-season ringers.

- Leadership nerf. QB leadership will no longer affect their own morale, and morale/energy has more of an impact on the effectiveness of Leadership. This partially addresses some issues. One being that offensive morale levels seem to be too easy to maintain compared to defense. Second, offense seems slightly stronger than it should be, and this might help even the field slightly. Lastly, since pure rushing (or mostly rushing) teams seem to have a slight edge over passing teams, I'm hoping this will hit them slightly harder, as a lot of rushing teams just have a QB that focuses almost entirely on leadership.

A full respec is in order, yes?

does the leadership change affect higher leaderships more than lower or about the same? cause I have a bad feeling this will hurt passing teams more if that's the case. Not to mention this may break trash talk to ungodly levels of power.

Well, teams with low leadership QBs probably rely less on the QBs leadership.

As for Trash Talk, I wholeheartedly plan on doing a sweeping look over SAs next season. I was kind of wanting to this season, but with Mighty Brawlers testing and Legends league stuff to finalize, leaves less time for "fun" updates.

Is Leadership even worth investing in now?

So the energy and morale of the QB directly effects the effectiveness of Leadership skill? Most QBs are at 1 energy the entire 4th quarter.

definitely appreciate you giving us a heads up. great to know before the end of season / boost skill points since I suppose it just means investing more in heart/toughness to overcome the leadership drop.

Whats the chance of getting defenders that are supposed to be in man coverage to actually play man coverage and not ice skate in the middle of the field doing nothing?

I'd guess slim since I don't even know what you're talking about.

As I think through the leadership change.

Leadership no longer affects the QB himself.
Qb's leadership skill will be modified by the QB's own stamina and morale level (which are unaffected by leadership)
As QB gets tired and low morale - his leadership skill is even less effective
Offensive players with low heart/toughness will begin to lose morale (potential morale spiral).


Seems like it will affect teams with a rushing QB by far the most
Teams that rush with HB's have potential for a morale drop off
Teams that pass / get sacked / throw INTs are likely to take a big hit.

Could even end up being a boost to the pass rush / blitzing at the higher levels -- since O Line will wear down more

As for the chem - I just signed a guy and he is sitting at 33 chem. I can't cut him and resign him of course -- so just bad luck?

could it be simpler to instead do a thing so:

- last day of off season, anyone on a team with less than 50 chem gets bumped to 50

- 6th day of season, anyone on a team with less than 50 chem gets bumped to 50

Also gives steel chin QBs a place
