Re: Expanded Attributes

Okay, so after a bit more thought (and thanks to the person who called me out for being a bit lazy on the expanded defensive attributes). I think if WR are getting a route tree breakdown then defenders should also get a man and zone cover breakdown.


Each has 4 sub attributes and would allow a differentiation in players within different coverage schemes. So if you have a SS with low Deep zone but high hook zone, you're going to run slightly more Cover 3 instead of Cover 2 schemes if you feel he is overmatched. Cover2 or Tampa2 CBs could now be differentiated and could also result in new CB archetypes.


Similarly, if you run the Leo and that player now gets a flat zone rating which would be a lot higher than the hook, curl and deep zones which they would be awful in. DTs and 3-4DEs that play a lot of zone blitz can now be differentiated instead of having to give them one generic "zone" rating.


For man, I wanted something that differentiated press and off man players more, some are great when pressing but some prefer off man to see the WR initial route. I also wanted something that differentiated the good and bad players on deep balls so that a good short pass defender known to choke on deep ball defence is there. But it also meant that you can stack your team with CBs great at Deep Man and Deep zone players and force opponents to go underneath or pay.


See what you think
