Warrior General Games

I think that might be a stretch, but when I get around to adding things again I'll include it.

I haven't heard anything about attribute VAs being removed, so until Bort says so, don't listen to a single word. People are just whining, like they always will.

As for your suggestion, there isn't any ability suggestions, which is what this thread is for. As lazy as I've been lately, though, nothing is really being done

I have 3 VAs that at the moment are just pointless to use. I was thinking on how to give them a little more power, and I think I have a few good ideas. Hometown Hero, Heart of Champion, and Slow Starter are just too weak, and are rarely used, IF they are used at all. I would also ask that if this were to be done, that the Vet points could be reset, so people could take advantage of them (particularly Slow Starter).

For Hometown Hero, just make it +1 per point when playing at home, take away the -0.5 when playing away. This could also be used in the playoffs if it's a home game. The -0.5 when playing away makes it basically useless; I would rather use Swagger as of right now. Heart of Champion would be bumped up to +1.5 per level for Confidence AND Stamina in the playoffs, because of the limited usefulness of this VA at the moment.

For Slow Starter, in the first 4 regular season games it would be -0.33% per level (which would make it -5 at 15). From games 9-12, it would be +0.33% per level (so +5 at 15). From games 13-16, it would be +0.66% per level (so +10 at 15). In the playoffs, it would be +1% per level (so +15 at 15). This would lessen the impact in the first 4 games when you only have 1-2 points in it. It extends the bonus to 8 games instead of 4, so you get a little more usefulness for it, and because it would work during the playoffs, you could easily see some more 8-1 and 7-2 upsets (parity is good!).

Short memory QB- this ability allows for qb's that have just thrown bad passes or interceptions or sacks to quickly forget about them and can restore their morale and boost their confidence even when doing bad.

anybody?

Sorry, I've been caught up. It's a solid thought, although I think QB confidence is already so high that it doesn't really have much of an effect.

I'm working on clearing out the other VA that didn't make the cut, or ones I don't think WILL make the next cut. I'm going to be a lot more selective with this list.

Jesus that's a loooooooooong list lol

For kickers, I would like to see us have some VAs that allow players to better approximate the accurate vs. strong-leg types seen in real football.

So:

Kickoff Specialist: yield a bonus to kickoff length
Chip Shot: accuracy bonus to XPs and any FGs under 30 yards
FG Bomber: bonus to strength (not accuracy) when kicking FGs of over 40 yards

A lot of those will be cut down, since they were left over from last season. If they sound like they've got a good base, I'll keep them. However, I'm going to be more selective in the future.

Not sure you quite understand HoaC and HH. It's not a %, its a full confidence point. With 15 in HoaC, you're getting +15 confidence. That's an incredibly high number, only attainable by Swagger with 100 base confidence. Not likely.

Also, HH is fine where it's at IMO. The -.5 confidence on away games gives the VA a downside, which it should. If you've got 15 in HH, then you'll get +15 confidence at home, and -7.5 confidence on away games. The upside is better than the downside, IMO, and that's the perfect idea. Perform better at home than away.

That was suggested multiple times, and I think I had a few variations up in the original post before I cleaned house. Didn't catch on the first time, so I cleared it (I think)

Heres a thread I made awhile ago about changes to current VAs, I never noticed you had a section for them on your original post

A few GREAT VA suggestion, actually. The two at the top about QBs, I might change. How about Sly Fox only relating to the Turn Shoulder and Pump Fake SAs? Would be able to avoid sacks and fake more defenders

And golden legs, how about that only applying to a QB when he's scrambling around behind the LOS? Would prevent boosts for HBs at QB in the wildcat

WIth all the new demoralizing VAs, I'm surprised this one hasn't been added yet:

Punishing Runner: This runner dishes out more than he takes. When tackled there is a 2% chance per level that the tackler takes an extra hit to energy and in game morale.

I definitely like this one. Wondering, though. Should I clear the OP and start fresh?

Utility Player- this player is proficient at playing multiple positions on the depth chart, he can step in in a pinch and be as productive as a player who specializes in that position! decreases the Penalty for playing out of position by 5% per level invested in Utility player.

Superb Back:

This player is Superb, when on Super Elusive you get 2% to the agility attribute.

Here's some more, I guess:


Leverage: This player has learned to use leverage and positioning in order to gain an advantage in blocking his opponent. Each level gives a +1% bonus to holding a block.

Wide Range: This player has great lateral movement and can play sideline to sideline. Each level gives a 1% bonus to speed, vision, and agility when having to cover RBs out of the backfield or running off tackle.

Downhill Defender: This defender excels against the run. Each level gives him a +1% bonus to breaking blocks and a +1% bonus to tackling on running plays.

Low Center of Gravity: This player knows that staying low is the best way to beat off a blocker and hold his gap. Each level gives a +2% bonus to holding his ground against a blocker and avoid being pushed back.

Arm Bar: This receiver has learned what he can and can't get away with while being covered. Each level gives a +1% bonus to pushing off from the defender when going up for a reception.

Tough: This player is tough as nails. Each level reduces the effects of stamina reduction (getting tackled, run over, pancaked, etc) by -5%.

Fast Hands: This defender has learned to use his hands to get a blocker off of him. Each level gives a +1% bonus to breaking blocks.




Will be adding these. Maybe not ALL of them, but a good portion of them. If you're only quoted with one suggestion, consider it in the OP.
