Warrior General Games

So, automatically passing all balance checks... ... does that include when being tackled? Because that's a pretty big auto pass then.

It seems to be active before the catch and shortly thereafter - I wonder how many broken tackles will come from that period?

At least the risk/reward will be better - right now not worth throwing a screen to the WR but should get interesting .

That’s true, WR screens are dead atm.

Gonna need the help it seems since the change to make it harder to catch passes you aren’t turned towards is sure to kill the passing game in the flats to HBs and FB.

I dont think it means you will automatically break a tackle. If someone hits you while trying to catch, your ass is still going down.

No, but I’ve seen an uptick in tackles broken tackles in that window. Used to be just about a sure thing to make the tackle if you missed the deflection and were right on top of the receiver. And while a passed balance check doesn’t mean a broken tackle automatically- it goes a heck of a long way to it.

Even if it’s not active during the tackle roll it means the player gets to start the tackle roll with perfect balance. But if that’s the case the bump shouldn’t be that big. It may be, since the games I’ve seen are limited so far. I don’t think it’s gonna be game breaking either way, but it could be an interesting concept to build around.

damn thats some shit then. It could be game breaking if it works for great RB that way.

A lot...did you see that screen play to Xars RB?

You are correct for weaker players...however it helps power HBs who have high balance. It also is huge for quick/fast players who can catch and turn up field faster. That is what I am excited about.

Wqtch my spar vs logzilla. It is not working good

Good point. I only saw the play that Xars linked. But the slow turn around is due to very low quickness....at least that is what Corndog said.

Absolutely loving screens atm.

They're better than they were, but not OP like they were in some early seasons, so I guess Bort has found a good balance point for them. And I haven't yet seen one of those crazy 10-yards-upfield throws yet, either.
