Yes, you cannot punt on anything but 4th down, in order to protect those who were screwing up their AI settings (it happened a lot in the early sims).

Damn that sucks, we were gonna punt every 1st down in the 4th quarter against a slow build team to get our D XP.

I am looking for info from Bort regarding attribute points and whether or not a fraction of a point is considered for the player...

ie...Does a player with 48.12 speed act better than a player with 48.00 speed, or is that player considered a 48.00 speed as well?

Save me Bort Stalker!


-Hopelessly Confoosed

Bump.

Ya know, I faintly remember Bort unleashing the concept on integers in regard of this...Why I remember this, I don't know, probably because I don't see the word "integer" used too often...but that would seem to imply the latter...but what do I know about computer lingo...

Yes, decimals matter. 48.12 is better than 48.00.

Unfortunately I don't know where the official post about it is.

Edit: Found this on page 101 of the forum...good enough?

Edit 2: Well...this forum has 287 pages. Only one other thread with 'decimal' in the name, and it's basically the same as the one right above this.

Bleh, I miss forum search. Anyway, my contribution to Bort Stalker

[The assertion that high vision hurts RBs is] Somewhat true at the moment, until I can find a good fix for elusiveness.

The problem with low vision, though, is that the runner can also completely miss seeing a defender and might run right into him for an easy tackle.

I agree. Bort really needs to fix this so high vision is a good thing and not a bad thing as it is currently.



Sorry, I can't fix anything any more. It creates a moving target that nobody can aim at... I hope you realized I was joking. Just getting a little frustration out. Of course I still am looking at fixing stuff. It just gets old when fixes get complained about nonstop.

So do i! That can't be helped...


BTW: updated

There's actually a mistake with links. Nixx told me that using

http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=814301&page=last#6316509

is a bad idea because it points to false page as soon as the thread continue...


edit: Apparently there few damage for recent posts. Good call to tell me right away

^ working on it.

Aw man - I got quoted in here getting PWNed by Bort.

Ya, Nixx let me know about it and I have a new version of Link2Post up that fixes this bug. It's FireFox3 only now.

Playing loose doesn't mean you'll always go for the bat down. Playing loose means you're just trying to keep the guy in front of you and are not going to try and go straight for the ball when it's thrown. Medium is more of the "bat down" setting, while aggressive is the "try to get the INT every time" setting.

Jumping helps quite a few positions in various things. It won't help you block somebody or something like that doesn't make any sense, but it helps with catching, swatting balls, diving tackles, avoiding those low leg tackles, diving for yards, punting, etc.
