Is the handoff scripted, like in GLB 1? If so, I'd imagine it does nothing.

snap reaction only affects plays where the HB doesn't run with the ball so for blocking on QB runs and for receiving plays

Hmm, so for QB blocking purposes, is it worth popping a few points into it? Mine is at 18 and only costs 59 SP to raise.

i would say no

you would get earlier to the block but if you don't invest in blocking you will just get caked earlier so it would probally result in worse plays

Snap reaction, to me, is the quickness a player can gain leverage on another player once the ball is snapped, so a HB with snap reaction would not be smart.

OL/DL, LB, FB, TE's would benefit from Snap Reaction.

I'd say CBs and WRs too. Every seen one of the Barry Allen type builds already be behind a CB before the CB even takes thier first move?

I think it can work really well for a HB if the blocking ahead of him is good with an O-line that is also fast off the snap. It's not a 100% guaranteed thing, but my team's HBs have decent SR, (one of them is excellent - perhaps even over-invested) and he is explosive at the handoff, often bursting through the seam into the 2nd level before the D-Line and the LBs have time to react. This is only of any use running up the gut, it has no benefit running outside.

the hand off is scripted, snap reaction has 0 effect on those plays no matter your snap reaction it will always be the same time
