QB scrambling

November 09, 2014 at 01:54AM View BBCode

I always wonder why there isnt a feature when if the QB is facing pressure that he can't just scramble out the pocket instead of forcing passes or taking sacks other things that I noticed aren't in this game that would be great features in this game is
-laterals eh eh?;)
-home field advantage
-defensive linemen batting the ball at the line of scrimmage when it's a pass play(I think it's a feature but it rarely happens)
-tackles(bring them back:()
-height and weight measure measurements
-more formations and plays(read option, 34 defense)

The reason is a design flaw in my game where the code for run plays diverges from the code for pass plays, so there is no way for a pass to turn into a run or vice versa. I've been rearranging the code to fix this extremely short-sighted design flaw, so this will become possible when that is complete.


-laterals eh eh?;)

These will come. I'm a big fan of The Play, although I know if that ever happened in the sim I'd be tarred and feathered.


-home field advantage

The schedules right now are too unbalanced for this; you have teams that play their last 4 or 5 games on the road. That's only a problem now in that it "looks" wrong, but once there is actual home field advantage it will become a big source of complaints. Again, this is something I have already started the work of fixing. Schedules are literally like solving a big puzzle; the only thing preventing us from having many more league sizes right now is solving the schedules.


-defensive linemen batting the ball at the line of scrimmage when it's a pass play(I think it's a feature but it rarely happens)

This is a planned feature but it is not in the game yet.


-tackles(bring them back:()

They are coming!


-height and weight measure measurements

The results of height and weight are generally included in Strength and Jumping. Adding height and weight would be cosmetic, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as I have birthplace which is (currently) also cosmetic.

-more formations and plays(read option, 34 defense)

Again, this is an issue related to the same programming flaw in the first reply. Once I fix that (really, what was I thinking?) it will open up a lot.
