Bort, have my babies?

If you say no I'm going after your brother.

I'll get that programmer gene whether you like it or not!!!!!!!

Bort,

Is S10 the best 40 days in Laser Cats history? Might' be time to revisit our forum,

Bort.... Maybe one last poll to see if the player base would vote in a final Vet reset? I respect whatever you decide, and it was wrong for me to assume we would have another one this season coming up, but with the SIM being close to where you want it, I think this would be a great choice.. I would take a safer route knowing my team is now locked in.

Hey Bort, since you mentioned OAI earlier (pictures to pick plays), is there any chance that we could get some of the AI enhancements looked at this off season? You know, the stuff in Epic Suggestions in regards to improving AI functionality.

Yeah, I've perused that (which prompted the pick via a picture thing).

TBH, I think that in order to do some of the other stuff I will need to basically scrap the current AI interface and start over from scratch, with those things in mind.

One thing I think that could be really great, too, is to come up with an "intermediate" tactics option. Something where there are preset conditions, such as 3rd and long or 2nd and short, etc, and you just pick a list of plays to run in the situation. Sort of a pre-programmed AI, with a pick n' choose interface instead.

Don't we already have that? That is how I set up my entire AI.

You could actually be even higher, but from what I've found a CB doesn't quite need the Speed a WR has to be an effective coverman.

IMO speed only needs to be 95-100, since it doesn't seem CBs can ever get beat deep. Instead I think the points are better spent in agility (~80) and then have some high vision + jumping.

and a lot of this entire thread: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2655890

Bort, what are your thoughts on CB speed versus WR speed? Is Route Run SA an ample defense versus Shutdown Coverage SA? Does Ballhawk tilt the balance?


Hey, as long as you're in the thread and all...

Yeah, Run Route is basically the opposite of Shutdown Coverage. Ballhawk seems to work best for zone guys, IMO.

That's all sorta stuff for debate amongst the players - build strategies, etc.

what about a gradual reset? wlarson suggested that you can give 1 vp back/day and put it where you want to.

you don't turn into something you are not OVERNIGHT. but you work for it.

I could get on that boat. I think that VA's, just like SA's and Skill Points, should be something you have you think about and not fling around willy nilly because you can just reset all the time.

of course, his suggestion is an ADDITIONAL to your proposed ST VA reset

just in case you missed this bort

Also, are we having more endorsement items giving to the players next season? Can one be named after me?

I'd love to expand the list. I'm kinda out of ideas for names though.

Yeah I got it.

I was going to write a name, but I thought you could make up one. I can come up with one and we could do it right? Thanks!

Bort, what about VA's such as Clever Instinct, etc that become useless as a player nears the close of his career?

Let FFA come up with some. We had a thread a while back with a bunch of names.

Bort, what's the inspiration for your username?

Yeah, sorta. I'm thinking more of a basic thing, separated out for you, where you don't add and remove things yourself. Something more visual oriented, with maybe pictures of the spots on the field, etc. I dunno. It needs some fleshing out, but I would love to have something that is sort of a bridge between the basic and AI, to fill the middle ground of people who want more control but are put off by the AI's potential complexity.
