When I made a scrambling QB, he would hardly ever take off running when dropping back to pass. If you set the scrambling to frequently, he should run alot more than he currently does. I wouldn't mind making a duel threat QB if he scrambled more but for now, it is almost useless to make a fast, drop back QB.

And fat strippers should use solid steel poles but then there would be way less hilarious videos on the internet.

Doesn't setting him to roll out often help on scrambling?

It does help but not as much as he should be scrambling. If you set the scramble frequency to often, he should probably take off running if his 2nd or 3rd option are covered. It seems like he only scrambles as a last resort if everybody is covered. I built a S* scrambling QB on my last team and set him to scramble and roll out frequently. He would probably run every 20 drop backs or so. I would like to see more of a 25%-35% scramble than 5%.

"Hey Corndog, I made a specialty QB and I was wondering if you can change the mechanics of the game to cater specifically to my needs".

I'm sure they'll get right on that.

Pretty sure several agents have mentioned they would like a scrambling QB to scramble out of the pocket more often.

It doesn't count when they are your multis.

So all of you really think the QB scrambles often enough when set to scramble frequently?

on the priority list for what should be changed / tweaked / fixed in this game -- I'd put QB scrambling frequency somewhere around #150

but as the Donald pointed out -- you are consistently true to form: regularly lobbying for changes that will benefit you personally. no respect for that.

So because I lobby for fair changes that benefit not only me but everybody, people should down vote the idea? Of course I am going to lobby for changes that benefit my style of play, but at least they are realistic changes that will help anybody who uses that style of play. To down vote a good suggestion because you don't like the person who suggested it...no respect for that.

Should QBs scramble more? Probably.

Do I think it should be anywhere near the top of the devs priority? Nope.

As others have said, the reason people are downvoting is because you're pandering to improve your own team. If, for example, I posted link(s) of a run where my (or other) non-run QB should have taken off (repeatedly) then people would possibly feel differently.

No thanks to you's guys, I think I cracked Bort's code and found a way to make my QB scramble much more often.

48 drop backs, 12 scrambles = 25%

http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/game/348512
39 drop backs, 7 scrambles = 18%

http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/game/348540
58 drop backs, 10 scrambles = 17%

I will keep experimenting with what I think works. My goal is to get my QB to scramble ~30% of the time he drops back.

Something tells me that you need to have 9 speed WRs and play a team that blitzes 0% of the time...

We'll see when my PUP gets up the ranks to Pro and Vet.

Oh, and if you blitz, I'll mix in some outside QB run cheese.
