Warrior General Games

Looks like Trogdor still cracked 41 broken tackles against D'Haran this morning.

Edit:

LLUA vs. Tampa (power running galore)

Okay, the sim looks faster to me. Look at how fast Trogdor looks on this opening KR TD...

Right at the 50 yd line it seems like everyone is moving faster. Especially Troggy.

I've thought it looked faster too, especially for returners.

Also, heart looks like it's going to be big this season.

Quickness should be taken out of the game tbqh. Sprinting and footwork should cover everything.

No. Quickness helps tremendously on zone defenders when they are constantly changing direction.

You mean confused?

It doesn't fire on handoffs because of the script.

Yup, that is what Surge is for.

Learn to read. I am saying footwork and sprinting should cover what quickness does, not that everyone should have quickness set to zero.

The problem with Surge is it only fires off Dives and Slams. Juke, Spin, Power Running, Mr Reliable, B4I, etc. all work all over the Field.

And Grinder, but only on 3rd down.

Yeah, agreed. Just saying, in my mind, Surge is there exactly for the reason First Step doesn't work for a HB around the time of the snap. (and fwiw, Mr Reliable doesn't work all over the field)

It would be kind of funny if First Step worked on counters and sent your HB too far down the initial path...

I still like surge for making some inside runs a bit more lethal. It can help with getting by the DLine before they have a chance to break blocks and can potentially make inside runs explosive for speed/power backs as they can hit the 2nd level of the defense fast, break a tackle and be gone. Other skills are a bit more important but making inside runs more dangerous can be a good thing for OCs for sure. If I have it added to a HB it is typically one of the later abilities added but HBs have multiple abilities that perform pretty well. It is nice to have to decide which way to go on quality abilities. Most positions do not have the luxury of having that many quality abilities.

Safeties have shitty pathing on most Outside Runs, particulary Counters where they get sucked into the hashmarks and then move towards the line of scrimmage like it's an inside run. Then when they run contain it's a perpendicular line to the sideline rather than running a flag.

Can't the backside CB be programmed to run down the HB via a Flag line rather than straight across the field???


I cannot believe they didn't fix pathing. Not only that, they didn't even address it as a problem or something they are working on. Pathing is THE #1 issue with this game...hands down.

If Surge worked on all plays, then it would be a must-have. It would be the HB First Step SA.

Mr. Reliable works at the line of scrim on all running plays and again at the First Down marker. It's potential fire spots are massive compared to Surge, especially for a fast HB.

The pathing changes probably require a lot of work. I am hoping that they intend to begin working on fixes right away for it and the adjustments simply have to wait another season due to the time required to fix it. We will see though.

Defenders getting blocking themselves by getting drawn into an existing block is an off the chart problem. High Pursuit too often forces you to take bad angles and doesn't avoid existing blocking interactions. It's like it doesn't even work because there's no "free" blocker to avoid, so "free" defenders just run into existing blocks like crazy.
