"Quick Stop" Clerks

[Djaughe]

Noticed quite a few of your players still has majority spent on those attribute VAs that bort nerfed.

Do you guys need any help on it?

 

[pointNumberOne]

A few suggestions sure wouldn't hurt. LB and OL are areas I haven't looked real closely at.

Any thoughts on a LB core all focusing on Helmet Crash? (60str req. might make this impossible for some of our LB's as of now, but it could have potential)

 

[PDXChris]

Please, chime in. I really have done much research on the VA's.

 

[Djaughe]

Generally have 2 main VA's (15max) and a minor 3rd....don't spread them around like a buffet table.

Avoid attributes like speed...bort nerfed them too much.

If you have the time you can do what I do (i.e. team build plans)...it really helps to minimize mistakes. Go to the Maori forum to see what we did.

This guy put together the best list of combining the VAs that complement each other....hope this helps take the guess work out of stuff.

Below is a list of VA Combos. I am guessing on most. Can anybody please offer suggestions for the missing positions. Also any thoughts on the combos below would be appriciated. Thanks.

Our D-Cord has not been doing anything, so I am going to set the tactics.

Scoring is up - folks are experimenting with the defensive creator.

 

[Djaughe]

Guys want my DEF AI uploaded into the clerks?

It's 99% custom and I feel its pretty solid.

If so I'll drop it in...please keep in mind that I invested about 30 hours in the last 5 days - so I don't want any non asfners to have access to it.

 

[Djaughe]

Looking at yer current AI - its like 2 seasons old.

I'm dropping in my new version.

You can buy me a diet coke banky.

Serious though - cut out any nonasfners that have access to it and keep it quiet in yer forum. If anyone asks - you just made some tweaks.

The only one who had access was fired as D-Cord. I just limited his access to Mod of the forum.

 

[Djaughe]

Yer AI is up and running.

I think you'll like how simple it is compared to the previous one.

 

[pointNumberOne]

New defense is looking GREAT, it's been quite dominant the last two games (vs. equal level opponents)

Don't underestimate blocking/str on a WR (...or is that STR on a DB...)

[Djaughe]

Great to hear.

Btw - tomorrow I'll be dropping in updates in the def. AI.

The def. plays is designed for close/med agg (going for pass def.) - you may want to pass the word to your team.

The close/med. leaves too much room for the WR.

Banky:

I'm working on a series of trades right now.

Bottom line - I should be able to send Moe Broadtrunk to the Clerks for min $300k

I'll keep you posted as things develop.

She would help solidify the line.

 

[Djaughe]

She would help solidify the line.

Yup.

Like I said I got 2 offers and a trade waiting to go through - if it works then Moe will be sent over.

You still may want to hit the marketplace to get a "strong" dt.

 

[Linderbee]

Nice knowin' ya, Moe.

 

[Djaughe]

The clerks D is starting to look like something.

 

[PDXChris]

The clerks D is starting to look like something.

Yes it is. I am working hard to get another level 44 LB and DT in. Once that is done, I am done with FA's.

 

[PDXChris]

The Clerks finally got another good LB. We just need DT help and I have two offers out. For some reason DT's are very picky and want Pro or AAA teams only when they are mid level 40 players. They would rather be a backup than start. Hopefully these at least one of these two work out.

 

[Djaughe]

Banky,

I found a quirk in the Clerks Def AI thats gonna result in having to reestablish the links to the defense.

I'll have to transfer all the plays over - but I need you to finish the connection.

It's easy - just use the pull down menu and match the output title with the play name.

This will make the Clerks D 100% better.

Banky - you need to reestablish the links between the def. AI and the created plays.

If you don't do that - yer team is playing on basic D.

Banky - the links still haven't been established.

Click the "(Hide/Show Options)" in the AI: http://goallineblitz.com/game/team_defense_ai.pl?team_id=1430


Then look at this part:

Specific Pre-Designed Play (Overrides Other Settings)
none [Select Play]


When it says "none" - that means the play is not linked up. You need to physically connect all the plays to the custom play list.

All done now. My attention to detail this week is not very good. That makes sense as to why we got stomped in the last game.
