Has anyone put Mr Reliable on a WR with success? It's supposed to activate to assist with Receiving Grip. I tried it awhile ago and don't recall ever seeing it fire.

Only works within 3 yards of LoS or YtG so it's limited in activation areas, but it seemed to help my HBs before with contested catches.

I'm so in love with B4I though that I don't touch it much anymore. Which is a shame as it's a good skill all around for a HB.


It'd also help tremendously on WR screens if those were a thing anymore. The bonus to balance when attempting to avoid a tackle in the backfield is pretty nice.

You know what would be cool?--- If they wrote in Running Plays for WRs.

Cool in theory but reverses would be blown up for losses routinely whether the DLine/LBs got to the WR after habdoff or the QB before the handoff. Hell, DTs blow up the QB sometimes before he can even pitch or handoff to the HB haha.

They still should create the plays and let the offense decide it they want to run them. I think a reverse would be cool. Or double reverse, flea flicker?

Yes I did and while it seemed worthwhile it was very hard to measure.

It should fire a lot when you’re throwing for First Downs but it didn’t seem to. Probably because it fires off Carry Awareness and there’s a limit to how much of that you’re going to add to a WR.

There are better SAs in my view though if you run an all-pass O and build for it, it will help.

I threw it on Red Sosa this season, I haven't watched a game but I threw it on there predominantly for fumbles and it seems to have helped. I'd say it's mostly for combatting zone hard hitting - and I would say it's probably only viable on TEs since they are the ones with the best routes near the 1st down marker.

Now, whether it's worth 3 or 6 SAs vs more SP spending in carry grip I have no idea (haven't watched to see if it fires fast enough to actually help with a grip roll).

IMO nobody should prep for hard hitting zones
