I think safeties should be merged the same way that LBs have been for GLB2. Right now a team is encouraged to take 2 FS and 2 SS to avoid the out of position penalty. If you only take 3 total safeties and just use the extra to back up both spots, you suffer OOP penalties when that player is in the opposite safety spot from his designation.

If they were instead just "safeties" and could play either spot without penalty the way LBs do now, it'd be simpler.

SS and FS are not the same position, you might as well jut have one OLine position and while we're at it lets merge HB and FB to one position as well I'm sure no one playing a game like this is interested in the smaller position differences.

Well, MLB is not the same position as LOLB or ROLB either. Agents just customize the toon to what position it will be playing. OP has merrit with decreased roster sizes.

Except that we now have rather detailed skill sets which would better describe these various positions now.

In other words your O line player could be skilled to be tough and mean in the middle or more agile on the flank, a Center or Guard, or an OT. A Team could put you anywhere, but your skills would be better suited to one or the other position because of the skills, not an arbitrary OOP penalty.

Safety same same.

One could really make the same argument as to CB and WR.

Heck I am thinking maybe we should just have the body type and strength and the range of skills and traits to choose from and let the player build from new clay whatever he likes.

GLB 3?

Would be an interesting concept.

doobas™

good idea. if all LBs are the same, why cant the safeties be the same?

there are some trait differences on the O-line though. Tackles get access to the Protector trait for example. So far as I know, Free and Strong safeties are basically exactly the same, other than their title and the fact they incur a minimum OOP penalty when subbed in for each other. I'm basically advocating for eliminating that OOP penalty the way LBs has done for all the different LB positions.

lol just stop dude... you're not going to win this argument at all

Just imagine if they woulda went through with no oop like they wanted to in the first place. Lol

Secondary question
Considering the oopp
Why does your team tell you to carry two vs and only one ss
Seems like it should suggest two and two if you shouldn't have a fs or lb playing ss

OP has lost his mind,

the 4 upvotes should be IP banned from the GLBs and all future Warrior General games.

FS- Coverage
SS- Run Support

They aren't the same build.

I would have OT playing every position.
