I cant say that I agree with you about the trained monkey part but I do see your point. It's more structured and less of an unknown factor. I think anyone would agree that it depends on the gamer. Some people use cheat codes, some people use them to get past difficult areas, others will never use them. But again it depends on the gamer.

I personally would like to believe that my WR with higher speed than your CB is an advantage. Hopefully he'll outrun your CB, that is if your DL will stop pressuring my QB.

@ speed, wr, cb
I distinctly remember admuns saying speed was an important skill for a WR.....
which alongwith the other lines dropped by admins when people scream "help me" kinda makes me agree with the Caped duck about what he reiterates every now and then.....most skills required by players are pretty intutitive.


The problem is instead of using the skills you know a certain position requires(most ppl in NA, others that have played) or u look for in a position(rl p/t coaches etc), people drop into the forums looking for a walkthrough. And all that the pages of opinion-filled rookie threads do is to make it more difficult to pick the right skills especially since a set of skills can substitute for others. (For eg Dodos with great arms can perform well at a certain lower level)

I love the fact that every other skill thread eventually moves to this discussion

right now with this basic game engine, having unknowns is pretty easy to figure out

most of the top tier teams have essentially figured out what works well and what doesnt

if the game engine were to be more complex then we definitely need more direction

so in conclusion, we dont too much direction right now but if it gets complicated we will

I concur physicals should have more importance placed on them, but especially speed. There needs to be a calculated quotient involving speed and agility of defender and attacker to determine if the tackle attempt is even possible. If that makes sense...
