Opinions?

I gotta go with Streaky or Thick Skinned

But if Slow Starter considers the "last 4 games" to be last 4 of regular season that one gets a nod too

I'm pretty sure slow starter doesn't work in the playoffs, so it's gotta be on the list.

As for streaky, I don't know. With 15 points in it, you're giving yourself an awfully good chance to get a +5% boost to attributes.

80% to have good day, 20% to have a bad day.

5% to ALL attributes is pretty nice, compared to the other percentage boosts.

5% to all attributes is nice, but consider:

15 in streaky gives you an 78% (not 80%) chance to be better. even if it was 100%, 5% to all your attributes wouldn't be as useful as 15% to your main attributes (strength/speed/agility). Who cares if you get a 5% boost to catching? thats 2 points. i'd rather have 10 points in speed all the time on a receiver with 68 capped speed than 2 catching, 2 vision, 1 stamina, 3 speed 2 agility 78% of the time.

Fair enough. Perhaps it would be somewhat useful as one of the last VAs a player purchases, for certain positions.

I'm thinking those positions where a lot of medium-high attributes are required to perform well.

Such as MLB, LOLB, TE, FB.

There are definitely better options, but I don't think it's in the same category as stuff like Slow Starter.

I think it is the one that gives you a bonus when you are down by 14 points. Who needs a ability that consistently makes you lose by 7 points?

lol, yeah. That one is pretty stupid IMO. Should work when losing. Period. Would be a little more useful then.

It would go from worst to best if it worked when losing.

Without that VA the Pontianak Firebirds wouldn't have won today. I consider that to be one of the best abilities available.

I prefer to use abilities that will help ensure I'm not in a position to be losing by 14.

But when you are in a position to be losing by 14 points, you are screwed.

Not neccesarily. I was losing by 18 last week, and pulled it out without that skill. All within the final 5 minutes of the game too.

Of course that proves that the skills I was using didn't prevent me from getting in that situation in the first place. lol
