Few seasons back. Everything worked. It was kinda nice. But you have to keep making changes. Nothing ever sticks that way. You can't stay stagnant. I don't personally think the game is declining...but I don't like how they handled balance. It has effected the game in a negative way all around. It will eventually be fixed. I am not the only one who feels that way. But I don't know that I can stand by and wait for it while still spending money season after season.

Have to say I am personally sad that no new plays were introduced in the offseason....only thing worth looking at the changelog besides a complete rewrite of SA's, New SA's, or new building structure....



I disagree...other than balance being slightly off, this game is the best it has ever been. Not many, if any, OP things out there now.

There's maybe a little too much of a cushion at the moment which is resulting in really high completion %'s but thats it. The games got a great balance to it now

Not mad. Just sharing. Definitely not on GE's side.

I will say though that this is pretty surprising. Even in worse case scenario, his balance recovery roll should have two to three times the value of his balance loss roll, seems you'd need to lose a lot of easy to win rolls in a row to get to that point.

The rough part about that answer, is that it's still happening to everyone. Why is there not a built in minimum cap for balance? So that players aren't just falling over.

What is his footwork?

Well there's a lot of stuff going on here. First, unless it's a perfect catch you're going to lose balance. Considering he has zero points in receiving abilities, I'm going to guess that hurt it a bit. Then he broke THREE tackles. Which I'm going to guess again put him off balance even more. It's frankly amazing that he was even still on his feet after all that.

So the animation should show him stumbling. I think if the animation was fixed, it would cause less confusion.

And actually, the balance might be good. It makes HBs have to spend SPs on other skills, which is what we've been bitching about for several seasons. Get balance up to 70 or above and it is basically a non issue.

I dunno...spending money on this game gets harder when stuff like that becomes more frequent. Players just falling in the middle of plays, and I see this so often both offensively and defensively....I begin to just start settling with the game and thinking maybe it is time to cash out.

I'm not saying they should leave like that, but they were trying to improve the game with changes, better then leave the game as it was, i'm sure they will fix a bit more.

Here is the issue with balance. I think it should be much more important for breaking tackles and blocking interactions than just flat out running or cutting. Footwork and quickness should be the main skills for that with balance being a secondary skill used in those situations. Balance should be a major skills when breaking tackles or blocking interactions.

A player should never just fall down without being touched unless he has like 15 balance.

I think you can increase the need to spend on skills without regressing a player to the point where they look like a rookie in vet.

Balance no doubt could have impacted a number of SA's, power moves, interactions and what not. The fact that I need to increase my balance to 70 to see my player run around the field untouched without falling is bad mechanics.

But these are the regressions that have always been a part of the game on any pass where the receiver immediately falls down and screen passes where the HB falls down. Kinda nonsensical.

Part of the huge problem with coverage right now is that CB's are turning the wrong way every single time on a break which is leaving the receiver with huge gaps by the time the CB can recover. Most of the coverage problems could be negated with a simple switch in the direction the CB turns.

My QB comp % is up almost a full 10% at Pro Level in 5 games, while my HB has underperformed due to chemistry (which finally got fixed) and balance being only 50

76 balance and 45 footwork

Private.

My Teams HB is doing well so far and he does not have 70 balance.
