Head Fake, Juke, also just having good agility at a cut. We are also adding a new "catch fake" skill with the archetypes.

What effect does confidence have for a player WITH morale reducing SA's? Will a player with high confidence have a better chance of the SA firing or will higher confidence increase morale reduction?



None; the morale reducers work on the SA's level.

With the new Archtypes, I think it makes more sense than ever before to put in custom slots for DE positions. Much like the NFL (I know this isn't the NFL, but it is modeled after American Football) it seems to make sense to allow for putting in Speed DE's for passing situations and Run Stuffers for base situations. This is the only way I can see the Pass Rush Archtype being at all useful to lower levels. These guys would be getting pancaked all over the place, which may result in pass rush DE's to be avoided in Free Agency. I can understand the reasoning behind not creating custom slots for all positions, but I can't see any downside to adding the DE positions. Is there any chance of this happening in the next couple seasons?

Custom slots add an extra layer of complexity in gameplanning, which is something we are trying to avoid at the moment. Maybe once we get to the intermediate tactic idea, we can revisit and make it more intuitive or quicker.

Will players created before S15 be able to retire at the higher flex point return % as long as their player fits within the age limit?

When archetypes get rolled out, current players will have the opportunity to choose an archetype. Will they also be able to choose a new height/weight, since some of the archetypes are height/weight-restricted?

1. For Bort, Are you aware that the many people interested in Iron Man football have now agreed that a 20 man minimum is acceptable? (The idea was previously shelved because the original proposal was for 15-man rosters, and code-wise less than 20 was not feasible.) http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2416697&page=91#33595212

2. For anyone, has there been any consideration to re-vamping the logic for blockers and coverage guys on special teams? This behavior hasn't really changed in over a year, but there are a lot of problems with it, especially for higher-level players. http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=3820566

3. The "catch fake" skill with the archetypes that Bort mentions at the top of page 4, is that a reference to Open Field Fake? http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=3813224

Do the effects of height and weight in the correlate pretty strongly with the bonuses they give upon rolling or is the interaction between height and weight more complex? For example, does a 5'10 olineman that weighs 300 lbs have the same agility as a 5'10 olineman that weighs 270lbs? Does the heavier olineman of the same height have a penalty to agility in addition to speed because of his weight, despite the fact that they are the same? Another example: a 6'3" 210 lbs CB vs. a 6'3" 180lbs CB--does the decrease in weight help overall movement or just speed?

I have seen it mentioned before that there is a "repeat play" penalty if a play is ran twice in a row. How substantial is this penalty and what exactly is it applied to? The players, morale, chemistry, etc? Also is this penalty stacked or reset if a play is ran more then twice in a row... for example the play is ran four times in a row so it is a 4x penalty.

Thanks.

Will there be any type of custom equipment reset with all the upcoming SA changes?

Do you know that there is widespread support for 20 man Iron Man leagues? We keep hearing you can't do 15, but we've been fine with 20.

Practice
Is there ever going to be practice games against your own players. I love to see if my offense is better than my defense and Visa Versa.
Maybe get rid of the 1st 2 preseason games. And add the 2 practice games. Also add one at the end of the season.

Must you have a "Fake SA" for Fake % AEQ to do anything?

I see lots of posts in the forum’s about new league structures mainly aimed at bringing back the rivalry between teams.
Do you have any plans to try and get back some rivalries into the game ?

Can you expand on the fake process/rolls relative to Power Thru/LTS?

Has there been any consideration given to allowing GLB Team Forum to be attached to email? I think it would be great to get email alerts when there are forum posting or PMs sent to you
