In his recent interview with 4verts, Rex indicated that Longshot was a disappointment and showed little indication that it was worth the energy and trouble despite it's critical acclaim.

Clint on ball bounces:

i agree that the ball bounced too far, and I believe we'll address that.

The Equipment Guru (Dustin??) replied to Orleans Darkwa earlier "I think you'll be happier with you're ratings this year, we found a better way to handle the type of back you are"

Wonder what that is... could be more traits??

Just hope it makes players feel unique and less about the numerical ratings

We need more tendencies. Not binary traits, but tendencies on a scale.

The yes/no nature of current traits does not work well for many things.

Though it is more important that coaches get correctly implemented with tendencies and traits rather than giving players tendencies.

Sounds promising. Nice find. Crazy thing is- Darkwa is one of like 3 or 4 RB's with super high speed and high trucking. I found him to be one of the best rb's stat-wise if you ignore OVR. That's with the launch ratings... I haven't paid much attention to the changes he got throughout the year.
