Icon5 Impact Offensive Linemen

Are impact offensive linemen a possibility? I have not seen one yet but I doesn't make sense why they wouldn't have them in the game. If you are a passing team it seems like they wouldn't be anything extrordinary but on rushing offenses it would be nice to have the great blocking from time to time. Or you could run a counter and have him pull, would be sweet to see him in the little slo-mo cutscene just trucking a linebacker or safety on a toss or counter play.

Re: Impact Offensive Linemen

No, they are not possible to have.

It would be a pretty addition though.

Big oversight on EA's part. To give Impact Player status to Virginia's KICKER while their LT will be a top-3 pick in the upcoming draft is a joke. Miami's Winston, who would have been a top-5 pick this past draft if he hadn't gotten injured, also comes to mind...

It would be cool, because if you had an impact tackle you'd sure as hell want to run behind him.

I thought about that too. As an experiment, I took a team that I didn't like and I change all the impact players' positions to OL positions and adjusted their ratings. It makes a hell of a difference.

I then took Texas and changed V. Young to an OL and created another Young, cuz having Young as an impact player is a bit of an overkill to me. Then I changed the other Impact players to OL also, then I started a dynasty. It's amazing and play action is incredible when they go in the zone.

Re: Impact Offensive Linemen

Your telling me by changing an impact player into a lineman you can actually have impact linemen? Does it actually show the white circle flashing around them? What do you mean they are amazing on play action?

Re: Impact Offensive Linemen

When i created my team it ended up that one of my original impact players got moved to a lineman so that i could have the correct class for the guy i was changing him to...he stayed an impact player through my first year in my dynasty and it did seem that he was the best OL i had despite his ratings being a little lower, any play where the guard(him) pulls was great because i would just follow him with my HB and get some nice gains...only 2000+ yrd season ive had with any back...won the heisman with that back too....course now im more of a passing team cus of QB

Re: Impact Offensive Linemen

Hmmm this is very cool but it doesn't sound like I can have an impact player without moving one onto the line via player editing? It would be really cool if you just had a stud guard who turned into an impact player on his own. Oh well maybe I can move an impact tightend to tackle or something.
