This could make bars a lot more viable for the next generation of players. If a person is building their RB, for example, as a power running back, then more weight can be given to strength, carrying and less to vision.

If bort starts from the top of what the archetype builds will project to and work down, we could actually have meaningful bars in a few seasons.

so basically your suggestion is to fashion the lolbars after the archetype to make it so the lolbars are high no matter what?

In that case, Disagree. The lolbars will be even more lol if you make everyone equal.

A bar should be a measure of how good a player's build is. If we know what the projection of a build is, and we now have what type of build each is, then we can accuraterly portray how good each build is, without giving general bonuses for a position.

Make them actually mean something. The best build of a specific type shouldn't be lower than a build that doesn't perform but manipulates the bars.

I can tell alot from lolbars as it stands. Bort will probably tweak it some, but maybe you should send in that question for the next Q&A or show up in the thread on March 10th.

Yeah lolbars are fucked up... Currently vision plays the largest role in the run blocking bar, and vision has 0 to do with run blocking. Pretty messed up

It's pretty easy to confirm (even in octowned's absence) that vision doesn't have the largest role in the run blocking lolbar. Strength appears to be just over twice as significant as vision.

Nevertheless, vision does appear to have a very slightly larger role than blocking or agility. And vision seems to have about twice the impact of any of confidence, speed, and weight.
