simplify things by just combining POWER into 1 skill.

might this mean that kickers improve a great deal and it becomes a little 'too' easy to be good at everything? maybe - but so what -- I bet a majority of people would be perfectly happy if every kicker in the game made 100% of extra points, 100% of field goals under 50 yards - and kicked off 70-80 yards every time.

they aren't fun now. they've never been fun. They only bring frustration and annoyance. Let's give kickers 14 seasons of an easy road...then we can reevaluate 14 seasons vs 14 seasons

combine power and make accuracy more expensive. so you can't just cap power/acc/con on every kicker build. Or make heart/foot/cond matter more in the kicking rolls

Yeah

76.8% FG made last season
75.9% FG made 2 seasons ago

Only made 3 field goals from 50+ yards his whole career.

To be fair, this will be his first season at veteran, and we'll see how he does, but I wouldn't really consider that fine.

Well, tbf, I could kick a 40 yard FG in high school and hit KOs past the 10 yard line, and I wasn't even the best K on my team (I played TE, not K).

So I'm not sure rookie Ks should be so terrible either. I think this is one of those things were the skill rolls should scale based on tier. A rookie K should kick much better in rookie ball than if he signed to a Vet team.

The right way to do it would be to have clearly defined primary and secondary skills.

The secondary skills help all kicks. The primary skills only help FG or KO, but are the main determinant.

If you want a generalist K, you put most of your SP in secondary skills. If you want a specialist K, you put most of your SP in primary skills.

Combining power would make it a secondary skill, which isn't right imo as then KO would have no primary skill. It's also not right that currently FG have two primary skills and KO only have one.

It would also be nice if Ks could reasonably spend points on KO coverage related skills. Those should be super cheap.

does footwork even matter?

I agree that having Soph K with a 50% touchback ratio is stupid, but a Veteran K is going to have to average 72 yards on Kickoffs and 75% on FGs. Kickoffs of 72 yards is 2 yards into the endzone, which ST coaches in the NFL will tell you is the target.

A S* K should be able to do 72 yards on Kickoffs with 85% on FGs.

If you want to force us to use only one Kicker, then fix the SP build costs.

This right here. They don't have to be perfect Kickers, but reasonable. If points are evenly spread and we get those stats, I'd take it.

Any change to the top plays is good, so nice stuff there. If there was preference towards sacks or turnovers that basically clinch the game, that'd be awesome.

Looks like Deevee's worked paid off.

- Home page top plays split into league/ladder and pickup/scrim
- Adjusted top play calculation to give broken tackles a bit less weight


The DeeVee8 Rule!

Thanks DV, my PUP got a top play!

I'd like to thank all the little people who had a big hand in this.

My fiance, who spent countless hours asking me why I waste my time in this game. Which only annoyed me enough to do it more. Thank you.

To my weed dealer, who gives me the fuel that burns my GLB Fire. If it weren't for him my humor on this forum would be as stale as that bag of Cheetos on Cdog's desk/dining room table.

And finally to my 6th grade math teacher, Mrs. Skelton. She taught me that answering the equation isn't always the best solution. Sometimes you have to change the equation to make it better for everyone.

Don't ever leave us Deevee!

Possibly related to the counter fix? Watch the ILBs and safety.
