Be nice to know exactly which abilities had their levels reversed or overwritten.

meh, no biggie. Unstoppable Force is a pretty bad SA, esp now that Shed got a buff

- Trash Talk can only take a QBs morale so low, based on toughness
- Trash Talk morale penalties decreased by about 25%
"can only take it so low", meaning how low? Can we get, like, a fucking graph or something? X=QB toughness, y=Morale floor?

Is this really even a nerf to Mr Reliable? I feel like the best feature was that it helped break tackles in the backfield

- YAC Attack now gives a bonus to Balance
this would've been nice for the last, I dunno, five seasons, when Compton was running with a power-based possession TE with gold YAC attack.

- Hail Mary bonuses greatly increased
- Hail Mary conditions changed to trailing in 4th quarter
- Added Quick Hitter SA for QBs
-- Bonus to passing skills to passes less than 6 yards on 1st and 2nd down
so we're buffing passing? REALLY? Did the Admins watch any Air Raid games in s7? You're telling the prettiest girl at the dance that she just won a million dollars.

- Eyes On The Prize bonuses increased
- Zone Shark ability added...knocked loose synergy for zone
so we're buffing passing and trying to make that okay by BUFFING ZONE? REALLY? You know that pretty girl at the dance earlier? You just put some makeup on a pig. It's still a fucking pig. It's still fucking zone. Tell me when you've fixed zone defender logic.

I could be wrong, but isn't Monster Hit + power tackling the preferred method to get fumbles these days? I feel like Opportunist + Strip Technique are the redheaded stepchildren on defense.

- Power Through no longer gives a bonus to Balance
- Power Through gives a reduction to Quickness
- Pancake Chef balance penalty halved
why does Power Through no longer give a bonus to balance? Mr. Reliable and grinder give you better balance, but Power Through doesn't? I get the reduction to quickness.

I just looked and yeah, it's available for CBs.

Between Contain Expert and Shed block buff the outside run shoukd be even more containable and maybe we will not have to be so vulnerable up the gut any more.

I can see it being on all the reset rookie team cb maybe if nothing else then just for rookie ball?

any smart team will have dedicated run stopping CBs, and after Shed Blocks right now Contain Expert is the best SA for them.

I think the Hail Mary and tuck and run buffs were a good idea. Hail Mary is actually interesting now IMO. And tuck and run might finally lead to some real scrambling dual threats. I still don't think scrambling will be viable, but its a step in the right direction.

That said, We're not respecting for either of them on Cleveland. If zones are cooler now, I'm keeping the pump fake. Quick Read and On the Run are still must gold in my eyes.

Gal,

You have any interest in Quick Hitter? Because I don't with LZ Boys/Belgarath.

And I still disagree with Quick Read and On the Run for a pure passing team. What's Cleveland's Pocket Awareness? If it's more than 40 I'd be shocked. So why bother? How much does he move in the pocket? And QR - why do you want to get to your check down receiver faster when you're not hurried or under sack pressure?

Kayoh,

I disagree in that this isn't for pure Passing Teams. It's for Balanced teams that need to improve short passing because they don't have a dominating Pass Protection OLine.

It's useless for my LZ Boys. It's great for my WH team QB.
