Bort... Does Outside Blocker VA activate for a Pulling Guard? Would Outside Blocker VA stack with this Pulling Lineman VA?

It is basically the extension of Pulling Lineman. Essentially, where Pulling Lineman ends, Outside Blocker takes over. Of course, it's only on run plays, but helpful nonetheless.

I am serious about the First Step thing, too, BTW. PP tested giving his guard 10 first step, and it's night and day on how well he pulled and got to the edge. There should be some discussion of it in the test blog if you go look. That's why we added this VA. G's needed a way to get moving out of the gap faster and headed to the outside, as long as it's a choice as to whether he's built to do that, and you are rewarded for doing so.

Bort, one other question... Can you explain where Pulling Lineman 'ends'? Is it outside the tackle box? Or further out?

Coming soon... the ability to pick First Step as a bonus SA for your G.

how bout giving first step to LBs

What will it replace?

Nothing - it's a bonus SA - an 11th one if you will. You can pick from any available SA (only on player creation though so you need to think about it before you pick it)

With the bonus SA, if you want to do that, you can.

Will this sit on a third row by itself, or will you need to take other SAs to put points into it?

can you theoretically give a player both change direction and quick cut (assuming they already have one in the natural tree)?

When the player reaches the end of the line and starts lead blocking upwards (or sometimes up/out I suppose). The entire point of the skill is to ensure your guard gets into position to make the block in time.

That is what I was thinking... I am curious though.

Ok...cool. Like it even better then. More SA's I believe the better. Makes more diverse builds.

PS - Can you ban new the new Boltz why you are around? Dude is PMing me and, well, he is Boltz...don't want to deal with it right now. http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=376377

I'll be posting more info on player archetypes within the next week probably, just giving the testers time to review it one last time.
