just caught this thread... but why in the world would zone specialist not work for LBs ......... ????


- Zone specialist only works for SS, FS, CB (or maybe it should be 1/2 or 1/4 strength for other positions?)

Improve the ROT blocking pathing/logic so they can pick up blitzing/reading defenders such as the CB in those replays. Allow the QB to make secondary reads. If the HB is covered on the screen, they will look downfield to the TE/WR/etc.

Both of those are needed.

If a CB is covering the HB and you run a screen, it doesn't deserve to be completed. But at the same time, when the upcoming code is added...who is going to cover HBs with CBs in screen situations?

This.

Good suggestion.

That's what I want to know, what is the reasoning behind this?

I run a 3-4 most of the time and since Blitzing from the ILB positions is about pointless I put them in Zone, why the nerf?

Bort isn't intending for HB screens to be unplayable. Adjustments will be made. Looks like the QB is part of the problem really...

Seems like HB screens work fine when a CB isn't covering the HB. Looks like the CB is leaving his WR pretty open....

time to nerf DEs imo

I agree on hurries and sacks being more of a blow to the offense's morale. If you are going to reduce the number, then at least make them mean something. Take a look at the Jets/Patriots game last week - Brady didn't even get sacked but was clearly rattled by the second half and basically couldn't get into rhythm. At the same time, get rid of the ability to use the 2QB system avoiding the morale hit from sacks. Right now a QB gets hit a few times, his replacement comes in, doesn't need to get in rhythm and starts playing like a monster - by the time he's been sacked a few times, the starter's morale is back up, and he's ready to play as if the sacks never happened.

T

Go watch a recent test server game (NOT LIVE) - tell me we need more sacks and hurries in them.

Bort why not make Ball Hawk for man coverage only? This way teams can't stack BH and ZS VAs. This play is just ridicules.

This should be a catch.

Edit: Oh and thanks for all the hard work. Some of us do appreciate it.

Somebody brought up a good idea, which I kinda like:

Make zone specialist turn off when the player sees the ball coming (instead of at the catch). That would give them the reaction bonus from it, but it wouldn't be able to stack speed and all that with ball hawk.

I noticed an issue with players who naturally reach level 22 vs players who boost to level 22. Basically if you naturally reach level 22 you get the same level gains as if you are level 1-21. If you boost to level 22 you get the level gains as if you were level 22-29.

I assumed it was not a bug but since you are addressing the 3 boost decimal rounding that I assumed was not a bug maybe this a also a bug.

It is related as far as I can tell - should be fixed by this update.

Cool, thanks. I am not sure if you can see their boost history but they only boosted 3 times in their career. That was last season.

This would be good--and really I'd support ball hawk (and every other 2%/level VA in the game, while we're at it) dropping to 1%/level or lower--really, most of the multi-attribute VAs should be in the 0.67%/level ballpark and highest bonus wins in my estimation. (Hell, just highest bonus wins rather than stacking would kill a lot of current and potential future problems.)

Speaking of multi-attribute and stacking VA bonuses. I think we can call on an old lesson learned with the attribute VAs and the big heart VA. Basically the physical skills for most top leveled players are at very high levels. So high % levels and stacking bonuses just put them at freakish levels. The mental and football skills can probably get away with higher bonuses and stacking bonuses without hurting the sim.

Vision may become the one exception to this rule of thumb. Still I think if the physical skills are somehow kept in check a crazy vision bonus may not matter that much.

I agree 100%
