Warrior General Games

I think that now with the recent weight taking effect on speed, agility etc, it is a good possibility to remove positions altogether and make players based on certain body types. You would no longer be a CB or P. At the beginning of the game you should not pick a position, but rather a 3-way choice for weight, small (170-200) medium (200-265) and large (265+). Then you would chose a height class, Short(5'8-5'11) medium (6'0-6'3) and Tall (6'4+). Then it would be up to you as to what to put your points into. If you want to make a DB/WR, you can. Heck even a two way lineman with blocking and tackling, every possibility imaginable. The smaller you are, the better you are at speed agility and slightly worse at blocking and tackling. The larger you are your slightly better tackling and blocking worse at speed/agility. Same goes for height. Taller players are generally slowerish, and smaller players have trouble against taller linemen. Medium players dont have any penalty or bonus. If anyone sees any major setbacks please post now.

Little too late for that don't you think?

it might still be possible you never know

not really. Current players can retire, or have the choice to pick a weight/height. Then it continues on with the skills they already have.

Not really. If I'd have said "Overhaul training" a few seasons ago you'd likely have said the above.

stupid idea TBH

Agreed. Now I gotta recruit players by height and weight? Or sizes?

Positions are needed.

way to quote the guy for zero reason. Vanilla thunder=constructive. The two of you after, why do you bother posting?

not really seems like it would open up more options in positions you could play

ya i was toying with that idea too cause it does seem a little bit crazy to have people with no direction. Maybe they could specify their top 3 positions that they play to keep it open ended yet not rediculus.

So what about all those automatic points we've already gotten? I don't like that my fullback and guard already have ones in tackling, do I get those back?

And what about things I trained already? What if I accidently put things in an attribute I'm now getting rid of? This wouldn't work without a complete wipe, and that better not happen.

i dont get it. your FB has tackling?

It's actually an interesting suggestion, but GLB just isn't that game.

Positions are there for a few reasons:

-To many non-glamor positions cheaper, therefore more attractive
-To make it so you can actually scout teams by position more easily
-To have sets of SA's linked to the player

Probably more I can't think of off the top of my head.
