Coach Skills & It's Direct Impact On AI

Great Information!

Skillz, what is your take on the coach skill for OC's named Mathlete? In the description it says you think football is a game of brains. I used it in my last game and it seemed that the CPU really tried to play chess with me in a way. They kept me guessing. This was only one game, so it's a small sample size.

Skillz, great stuff and I don't want to get off topic, but what settings do you use to make the DB's play more aggressive? It seems the pass coverage slider doesn't work well. I can't seem to figure out how to get the DB's to swat more balls or play tighter coverage. I appreciate your feedback.

The thing about Mathlete though is that in order to activate it, you have to also activate Great Wall and Up Tempo. Both of which leads to negative things in terms of stuff not happening on a consistent basis.

Activating No Fly Zone and Shutdown in the skill tree to a level 3 helps with that. Provided you have a secondary with coverage and awareness ratings.

The same as yours. Only difference is I have Clean Laundry completely disabled and only a level 1 for Road Warrior. Go beyond a Level 1 in Road Warrior and you won't see False Starts happen at all.

For user quarterbacks, does the strength rating determine how far a quarterback can throw? I get that Throw Power effects speed, but since this is a physics based game, the faster the ball travels (rpm), the farther it goes...theoretically at least.
