Warrior General Games

For Pete's sake, for all that is good in the GLB2 Galaxy, please, please, please update the tactics on players.

I am baffled at the tactics for some of these positions. It is utterly ridiculous that the ONLY tactic for an offensive lineman is carry style. I mean really???? How many times have you seen an offensive tackle take a hand off and rumble 80 yards for a TD???? And it isn't only offensive linemen. WRs and TEs only tactics are carry style too. How about giving them some kind of catching or blocking tactic? Same can be said for most positions. CBs, Safteies, LBs, etc....

Revamp the tactics!!!

Big +1

What tactics could an O-line player have? What catching tactics could a WR have?

I get the impression that what you are looking for is a way to boost skills on those positions through tactics.

You've made a vague suggestion, with no details.

-1 from me.

WR catching tactics:

Try to catch the ball +5 hands
Try not to catch the ball -5 hands

How about making the tactcs useful? Right now, they are useless on 80% of the builds.

Punter Tactics:

- Fall over like a sissy if a rusher as much as blows on you
- Fumble the snap like it the first time you've touched a football
- Punt it 5 yards into the stands

O-LIne

Blocking:
Tech: +5 to tech blocking; -5 to power blocking
balance: no penalty or advantage to either
power: +5 to power blocking; -5 to tech blocking

Do something similar to pass vs run blocking.

The possibilities are endless with tactics!

But we will start simple.

Tactics would work great for you since you control 100% of the players on a team. For someone playing the game in a social way, it just doesn't work. For example, if you're a balanced team you could plan to run a bit heavier one game and then pass more the next. You have to hope the agents for your offensive linemen sign on to change their tactics for each game. If not, you're running and they're set to pass block or vice versa.

As it stands, you've made several suggestions recently, each meant to improve your own vision of a team. Perhaps you should build to current mechanics instead of begging the devs to change the sim to meet your vision (though I'm sure you'd find a different way to fail).

You already have to do this on your DE for elusive vs power pass rushing.

So, boosting skills for no apparent reason? If you want pass blockers, make pass blockers. If you want run blockers, make run blockers.

That's why many of my suggestions get a ton of +? My suggestions are to better the game and make it more dynamic and help stop cookie cutter builds.

It alters the path the DE takes. Same with carry style, it alters the path the ball carrier takes. What would a blocking tactic alter?

What about HBs who get bonuses to power or elusive running? If they are going to give tactics, give them to all positions or take them all away. That is all I am saying.

It also give bonuses.

Current tactics change pathing.

Run Style - Controls whether you avoid defenders or barrel through them
Pass Rush Style - Controls whether you avoid blockers or barrel through them

You're looking for sim changing mechanics. A +5 to Run Block vs Pass block is ridiculous.
