I think he's asking if I will make any new players. Probably not.

Ahhh ok

Does a defender have to be on the line of scrimmage for Jump the Snap VA to fire?

On or very near.

Has anything been done to make returners FC more this season than last season. Seems like I see more and more returners call for a FC when no one is around them for 10-15 yards.

Nope, no changes.

They rarely seem to get "upfield" regardless of build (generally just charge back into pack to block instead of going upfield - like FBs), though. Shouldn't there be a difference between a 90+ SPD OLman and a 70 SPD OLman in regards to pulling? If it's so minimal and an apparently artificial boost then why build anything but cookie cutters?

Could be we just need to improve the paths, etc for pulling linemen like we did for FB's this last offseason. I did a little with them, but not a ton.

With contracting of leagues. Has there been any though to maybe adding some kinda of iron man league?

Not really looking to split the player base up more at the moment

Again - examples. And please take to Bugs forum if you see it happening consistently with links to players so that we can look at their tactics. Q & A isn't place to get bugs addressed, that's why we have a Bugs Forum. Thanks!

This is regards to the bonus from Route Run SA. Could you elaborate on this without giving out specifics? Like, would RR benefit a slower guy more than a speedier guy with regards to the speed bonus? If a WR has 150 speed from equipment, would 10 points in RR be like 10 points of speed to make it 160? Not asking for specific values if thats the case, but just a general head nod.

Does the bonus to agility from RR also factor into a WR's ability to have more effective Head Fakes or Jukes?

Flat bonus means it benefits those with the lower attributes more

We're going to take questions for about 15 more minutes and then will have a general talk about anything until 6:30 PST (9:30 Eastern).

Hey Bort,

I really enjoy full VA Resets in the offseason. I feel it let's you experiment a little with some of the VAs you thought about using but felt you couldn't go against the grain of a standard cookie cutter build. Any chance of regular offseason full resets? Adds a little excitement to the game imo

I know Catch likes them, but I don't like the idea of players changing dramatically every offseason...sorta removes any reward for making choices in a player direction and sticking with them. That's why we have the partial reset points every offseason.

One thing that might be an interesting idea is to allow a full reset or two per player, and then charge a few flex points for additional to incentivize sticking with your choices a bit more. I dunno.

The CB is still playing coverage (failing vision checks vs run) and the WR is heading downfield to lead block the nearest guy.

what is the probability that 4 dots all with at least 90 vision miss multiple vision checks on multiple plays?

A player with lower speed/agility will see more benefit that one with more, as it's technically a higher percentage of their skills. Pretty sure the skill even says as much. But yeah, it's essentially just adding a few points to speed and giving a better "change direction" score.

So Pulling Lineman VA is virtually useless?

The thought process is to use it to get outside quicker and get the boost in speed over the slower players. By the explanation, it doesn't sound like a useful SA and I would agree it's not noticeable.

They may be quicker once they are outside, but that is debatable because it's rarely possible and barely noticeable when it does happen.

I guess the real question is if this is on the radar to look at?



Not planned at the moment, no.

When a defender intercepts a pass, what causes them to run towards the center of the field, instead of going straight towards the endzone when there are no potential tacklers in his path?

I dunno, I haven't really done any testing or anything to see if that's really the case or just anecdotal. Could just be attempts to avoid players chasing them or something along those lines. I could add it to the list of stuff to test I suppose.

I did not say it was a bug, you did. Whether this is a bug or not I don't have a clue. I asked Bort a simple question, which was addressed to him. So I expect an answer from him and not you. As you can see Bort did answer it himself. If he does not have a clue on if that is a bug or not it would be nice to hear him say it.

If you can provide examples of said behavior, then Bort will look at it. Right now all you are doing is asking a speculative question that seems to be in the form of "this is broken, why is it broken?" which is the definition of a bug.

Thanks.
