How About a Special Teams Rating?

[JohnnyNutman]

i dont think a specific special teams rating is necessary. the standard awareness rating should cover it (as well as other general things like fumbles, turnovers & other indirect actions).

If you press catch, your gunner attempts to catch the ball....

I would love a special teams rating, but first I would like to be able to edit my special team formations so my starters don't get fatigued.

I agree on this as well, very good point.


It would very nice to see a complete overhaul of the special teams system, special teams are extremely important and should have more of an impact on the outcome of games and the personal you carry in a franchise.

I thought thats how it was supposed to work, but it dosent work for me, my guys just stare at the ball and watch it go past them into the endzone And I constatly yell at them to get the ball, but they some how can't here me..

special teams rating would not work, you could have a 99 rating and be garbage or a 40 and be amazing.

like if the KR only had like 85 speed but 99 KR, or the kicker had a lot of accuracy but no power.

Give me a 99 speed KR, a high power K and P and i will be good.

The rating would have nothing to do with the kickers, punters or return men. Just the other players who make up the kickoff team, kick return team, punt team and punt return team. It would determine how well they do their jobs.
