Looks like VAs are going away.


No... they aren't. Just three of them are and even those aren't going away immediately - just won't be available to players created with the new player creation system.

Ohhhh man... This will be the most controversial SA in S15. Also the new #1 cited reason that a play is not a bug, replacing 'needs more vision' and 'fix your builds'.

I'm going to call zones with my RE and LE and then blitz my LOLB and ROLB with 10 points of Disguise Blitz on. When LBs start getting 10-15 sacks per game they will nerf Disguise Blitz in S16 and then not allow us to return the SPs spent.

Mark this thread for future reference, especially the part right here:

Hey future, I told you so.

So how many changes does this now make for next season, 4 or 5?

One. Just one big one. Or 255+... we only have 8 bits to track this data.

So in other words, we lost track, and it's 1, only 1... gotcha

From the locked post:

I still have to go through and test these SA's for balance but this is the proposed list that we will be adding. Jackhammer, Scat Back, and Zone Focus are replacing the respective VA's at those positions - those will NOT stack with the VA's and we're working on figuring out how to phase those three VA's (not all VA's) out entirely over time (but it won't be immediately so that older players won't lose a key part of the build). I will revise this post if anything changes regarding the new SA's.

If Disguise Blitz is OP'ed it will either be removed or modified. It's being tested, it won't be introduced if it causes problems.

This is part of the archetypes change.

You should really expand that once more and just say 'Season 15 change' then you are covered with the % AEQ and Promotion/demotion....uh 'tweaks' Then when people complain about the sim being F'd up you can tell them you only made one change.

I'd rather they made all these fixes in S15 than do one per season and have a backlog of changes needing to be made going from now until the S33.

Most of these changes aren't even sim related, so I don't know why people are griping. The new SAs are the biggest threat to the SIM right now, and I trust Catch when he says they are being tested.

Just don't wreck Pee Wee or I'm coming for you. :-)

It replaces Zone SP. Not sure if it will work the same, since SA descriptions (like the current ZF description) are often more vague than VA descriptions (like the old ZSP description).

When they pick an archetype - you can't move onto the next screen (allocating skill points) without picking one.

Yes on #2.
