Why does blocking/confidence or blocking/vision make sense? Blocking work would involve you actually being engaged with the defender. The only things that make sense with blocking are strength (push) or agility (staying with the defender). Confidence? Vision? If you're engaged with the defender, I doubt you're going to be looking for other defenders. Confidence, I'm just not sure about.

Blocking/vision could be blitz pick-up or blocking expert. Vision in this game is more than seeing, it is also in-game knowledge. To be a good blocker, you need to know more than just the basic technique, you need to understand how it works into the larger game plan. Blocking/vision just makes sense for this. As for blocking/confidence, but have to do with holding a block over a long period of time. At this time I can't think of a good name for it other than block holding skills, but it makes sense that two skills that are so important for blocking should be able to be trained together.

I thought about that in my response, and I guess you could make an argument for it either way. I think spotting the blitz, and getting there, would be more about vision/agility.

There are some drills that have generic names, but could easily have a few different names for different positions. Return Drills (Agility/Vision), can easily be "Blitz Pick Up", too.



Lol, then all my LB's and DB's would be training Blitz Pick Up right now not Return Drills.

Ok I see your point, and I think it really could go either way

lol Not what I meant. I meant I could easily see there being name changes based on position. Like your OL would train blitz pick up, your ball carriers training return drills, etc.

I'm under the impression that vision is passing vision checks, which allows you to react. Blocking Expert isn't a good name for a drill

I don't think vision plays a direct role in the hold block roll, but I could be mistaken. The way I see it is that vision is the piece that helps you recognize things and react to them. The "knowledge" is already there, you just need to realize when to use it.

So are there going to be any changes to what we can train on intense? I think its ridiculous that we can't choose what 2 atts we want to train.

Last I heard they were considering having new combinations that could be "unlocked" somehow.

Bort did say that in one of the Q&A sessions. Don't know the ETA, or any of that though.

can intense training be changed to pick whatever 2 you want to train ?

Need to work out our idea on that! I'd like to get it going.

Thanks Raiderdav and tuba samurai. I am running my builds with the new archtypes through the simulator. If intense training combination's are added this will obviously change my build plans.

this is one of my big projects for next season - we're not going to make them all immediately available but we are going to work on a way to where a player can access different training options.

This will be a huge addition, to help players build they way they want. I hope this happens sooner than later.

The goal is for it to be done by next offseason.
