Warrior General Games

Based on the post I just made http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=3769697 I have an question that I want to toss out...the new "bonus" SA - there's no restrictions on how to spend points in it? It works like Run Block/Pass Block/ Wrap Up Tackle/ Cover Up/ Trash Talk, as the first SA in a tree? Because that seems a bit overpowered for a few positions, such as:
SDC/SV on coverage LBs
Stiff Arm/LTS on rushing FBs
Get Low on blocking FBs
SDC on coverage SSs
TV on pass rush DTs etc.
All of those SAs are normally 3rd, 4th, 5th for their natural spots, but are great choices OOP and would be very, very cheap.

that's a good question - I don't know how that will work either

Spin on CB returners
Power Through on WRs
TV and First step on LBs

So far, the only restriction I have heard is that you can't choose something that's already in your tree, and Quick Cut/Change Direction count as the same (since they are the same but just with a different name). I'm sure they have (or will) discuss whether or not to allow SAs from the 5th spot in the tree though. Granted, what's 5th in one tree may not be in another (Absorb Pain 5th for Gs but 4th for OTs).

working as intended - we want it to be something easy for players to choose and use to add some versatility/difference to their build.

So we will have 6 in each tree now? or will we have to get rid of 2?

An agent can add one bonus SA to each player. This SA cannot already be in the player's normal SA Tree. The bonus SA is in a tree by itself and has the 1-2-3-4-5 skill point cost progression. This must be selected at player creation.

So even if a skill normally costs more than 1-2-3-4-5, you're actually reduce the cost for something that's chosen as a bonus? ie Spin or Shut down coverage?

Big fan, especially for LBs. Ive noticed more and more people skimping on SAs for LBs, so i think this will make them spend a few SPs in at least one SA now.

Yup...it will truly define a player. I like it.

When you put it that way,

Sounds kinda awesome.

I've never liked the smallness of SAs roll in the game.

can't wait to get some SV for my LB.

I have a FB who's just begging for Spin.
