-The Three-Handed Man(Rot): 2% to re-roll on interception failures. increases by 2% each level.
The math for this is not prety. It's just like Long Reach, except it is worse because the base int % is so low atm. Say we have a 10% of intercepting a pass atm, with this VA maxed, we get:

P(make int) = (10 % making 1st int roll) + (90% failing 1st int roll)*(30% VA firing)*(10% making 2nd int roll) = 12.7% ==> waste of 15 VAs


Suggestion: Raise it to 5 % to re-roll

-Read the QB's Eyes (Mavfatha): +1% (per level) to "see" where the QB will throw the ball and get in position to knock it down or intercept it

We need to define "in position". I've seen CBs overjumping passes, fail a PD/int roll, and give up a big play underneath. The player was "in position"(the ball went throught the dot) to make a play on the ball, but is too far to tackle the WR if he fails to make a play. So yeah, where exactly does Bort consider as "in position"? Also, this doesn't boost to the PD or the int rolls, and only does "partly" what speed/agility/vision does. I think 1% bonus might be too low.

Breakway - Gives a +2% bonus to speed when there are 0 or 1 player in front of them on the defense. (i.e. HB run, he beats everyone, FS is far back, HB is in front of everyone on the D except him, he gets a +2% bonus to speed.)

Why not give this to D-Backs as well so maybe they can catch the break away RB When a RB is 2-3 yards behind the RB!

but Closing Speed is an SA and not all players can get it unless they roll AEQ for it.

Why not have a "Road Warrior" VA since we have a "Hometown Hero" VA? Something real simple and counter-active of hometown hero:

"This player demoralizes opposing fans when making plays. Each level increases the morale penalty to opposing players by 5% whenever this player makes a play when playing on the road."

Thoughts?

Also gives another VA that is applicable for many positions, or that can make a difference for lower-seeded teams in the playoffs.

Here are some ideas for new VAs.

Deflector- gives the defender a +3% chance to deflect the ball on pass plays.

Great Sacker- +3 to strength, agility, and speed when rushing the QB.

Break Through- Gives the ball carrier +3 to strength, speed, agility, and carrying when running the ball.

Good Mood- +5 to confidence after making a sack, interception, or a TD.

Energy Saver- +3% to decrease in energy reduction.

Half Time Recovery- If the users team is down by at least 21 points at half time the player gets a +5 boost to stamina and confidence.

Great Sight- gives the player +3 to vision on pass plays on both offense and defense.

Defense Man- gives the player +0.5% to tackling, vision, strength and speed.

Offense Man- gives the player +0.5% to speed catching, agility, vision, and carrying.

High Jump- gives the player +3 to jumping when trying to catch or deflect the ball.

Speed Boost- gives the player +5 to speed and agility on one random play in the game.

Example Setter- When this player makes a good play everyone who plays the same position gets a +5 to confidence.

Heart Stopper- If the player makes a catch of over 45 yards everyone on the team gets +5 to confidence.

Dodger- Dodge gives the player +3 to speed, agility, and jumping when carrying the ball.

Bone Crusher- gives the tackler +3 to tackling and strength when using wrap-up tackle.

Game Winner- Game winner gives the player +5 to all attributes when they are loosing in the last 5 minutes of the game.

Field Goal Freak- gives the kicker +5 to kicking when trying for a field goal 35 yrds. or longer.

Punt Blocker- +3 to speed, agility, strength, and jumping when playing on the punt return team.

Please consider adding some of these to the list of VAs.
Thanks,
BrennanC

Cross-Trainer (Iron Man)
Reduces Out-Of-Position penalties

This would reduce, but not eliminate OOP for nearest positions, meaning a CB and FS are interchangeable with minimal penalty, LB interchangeable with SS, DE interchangeable with LB, RB with WR, FB with TE.

For a laugh, we could even take it to the next level, and make it a true Iron Man penalty reducer, so CB can play WR, O-line can play D-line, and other offesive/defensive swaps.

I think you might have to make this mutually exclusive to Hometown Heor, so that if you have one, you cannot have the other.
