Do Something About Offensive Line - 7hawk77 - 10-19-2017

Just FYI, HO is still discussing all of the different options.


Really there is a lot of problems we are trying to address.

1.) Get rid of requirement to have active OL
2.) Playing OL isn't fun or satisfying
3.) Not enough players to field OL
4.) Sack numbers are very high
5.) Allow players to play OL if they still desire to play it.
6.) Implement a solution that isn't overly complicated or with minimal upkeep.
7.) Keep customization for OL to compliment team strategies


Obviously it's very difficult to fix all of these problems with a single solution.

However, I think we are getting closer to some kind of solution. I will note that I did talk to TC about the OL problem before this thread went up. This has been on the HO's mind for some time.

So you’re admitting that you’re not integral to your team’s success?

If I knew O-Line were this short, I'd have created one

That's basically the whole argument. NO ONE creates O line because they want to, but because it is so scarce.

I thought TE was more in need due to no one wanting to create because people say TE's suck in the sim.

I'm completely new to the league and just spent 40 min reading about all the issues and solutions for OL play. I created an OL after reading about the active positions and best way to get drafted due to positions of need.

I wouldn't mind switching positions if the OL position was eliminated. I also don't mind staying an OL if it means I can help the team more.

When reading about the great ideas floating around about OL bots, the only thought that popped into my head that wasn't discussed was establishing a "career guideline" for those OL bots so you get bots with an accumulation of 15 season's worth of tpe. This could have already been discussed at some point, but is just a mundane detail to be considered once a solution is reached.

Ryan Sierra will just be spectating from the cheap seats, waiting for his phone to ring to find out who he'll be playing for.
