Instead of adding an inherent ability to fake, what about if Head Fake and Juke could be affected by agility itself? Maybe it could work in conjunction with the carrying attribute, or perhaps it could be an "or" situation where the highest of the two is used for the roll. That and continued improvement of pathing would make agility a lot more attractive.


The problem with that is that before a RB gets those SAs, they are useless, that's why agility should give them an inherent ability to fake. My power RB with no SAs can break like 90 tackles in 90 carries but an elusive guy can't use his agility to make people miss until he gets SAs? Does that not seem messed up? Strength gives you an inherent ability to break tackles but agility shouldn't give you an inherent ability to fake guys?


I honestly think he just doesn't get it, or that the sim has led him to believe that it is working as intended. The sim has had faking as only possible through a SA forever that it seems like he does not grasp that even a 4 month old baby can attempt a fake and that it should be inherent at a small effectiveness.


Firstly, what is really the difference between have a very low fake chance, and no chance? No enough to get worked up over.

Second of all, you can get 1 point in all the fake SAs with your custom gear.

Is this really worth all the fuss you are making over it? Conceptually i can see your point...in terms of how much it actually matters...very little I think? Unless for some reason you want this to be a strong effect, in which case that's a whole different discussion.





Because it is something that should be in the sim before we make any other changes, as it probably can not be implemented later. And it also helps elusive backs in the stage they become "close to useless" before hitting their prime. It would just help the game, even if only a little, and I am all for that.

Which part? the 44 Strength part?

I'm sure he was a strong guy, but I thought he was talking about how he would translate to GLB?

If so, he wouldn't be able to have super high attributes all across the board.


44 is not super high in anything. 61 is not super high in anything.

Everyone is telling you that you're lost, not me.

I know all about LBs - you can build them like that because their SAs are shit. Elusive Backs actually need SAs, and a lot of them.


Actually, it's mostly just the offense guys telling me that. Shocking, eh?

This is what I don't get.

Barry sanders would have been 105 speed 105 agility 80 vision 73 carry 44 str.


Why should super elusive backs need str? With all that agility/vision they should be able to avoid hits, and make plays. If you are saying 61 str is retarded for a hb in this current sim to be productive, i agree, but this is clearly not a case of working as intended, and shouldn't be the case.


Exactly.



You know nothing of Barry Sanders if you think this for even a moment.

Any back with 44 strength fails to look anything like Barry Sanders at all.

That's just ridiculous.


I would buy anywhere from 62 to 75ish perhaps, and I would personally say 70. The man was strong, watch the damn tape.

A 4 month old baby cannot attempt a fake. And if you give an inherent ability to attempt fakes, then you also have to implement consequences for failing those attempts. If you or I went out to the nearest field and tried to fake someone out, we'd not only come to a stop when doing so, but most likely fall on our asses. Please don't start with the "just doesn't get it" crap, especially after what we've been through today. If you don't like my explanation and want to continue disagreeing, that's fine, but nothing you have said is difficult to grasp, it just isn't a compelling argument.


You don't get it TBH. It isn't compelling to you because you "DONT GET IT'... Go watch a 5th grade football game, the running backs can fake just as well if not better than the other 5th graders can tackle. In glb a back can't fake until a substantial investment into sa's. Do you think a lb'er should need to invest in sa's to be able to tackle?


Or a Power HB invest in SAs before he can break tackles?

I think that a guy with 90-100 agility but no points in SAs should be able to make dots lose their balance using quick cuts and cutbacks like a guy with similar agility can do with Head Fake(but of course the guy with Head Fake and Juke should use more fakes because they can also use HF and Juke). So I am saying the higher your agility gets, the stronger it gets. Vision would also help it. So a guy with 100 agility and 80 vision could be quite great at faking guys out even if he only has 1 HF and 1 Juke because of his ability to make quick cuts and cutback to make people lose their balance and fake them out just like a Power Hb with 110 strength can break a lot of tackles.


would help the elusive build out a ton for these guys imo.

You truly are just talking out of your ass at this point kurieg. The whole point of this elusive argument is that they need a shit ton of SA's and LB's need absolutely no SA's.

Clearly you are lacking in build knowledge.

So why don't you comment on the LB thing?

They are a terrible example.

Go build a RB with 5 68 attributes, they won't be anything except for shitty.

Is 60 strength different for a heavier HB than it is for a lighter HB in the sim?

You don't get it jrry. Power backs can break tackles, but elusive backs being able to inherently fake would break the sim.

I'm not denying that. It was a misunderstanding, which I tried to explain.

No need for people to freak out over, tbh.

They should be viable options in limited roles, like a Reggie Bush. Can't get 30 touches a game but can be a homerun threat with his 5-7 touches. Getting big morale hits because of the strength when getting a Monster Hit on them makes sense to put them in their proper role.


the more strength, the less the morale hit taken?


By a big/monster hit, sure. The less strength you have the more the big/monster hit would effect you.

Oh when you say it like that, brilliant.
