ST Skills

[ajmh]

Any thought at including various Special Teams Skills on a players skills page?

In particular:
Punt Returner
Kick Returner
Long Snapper
Holder

All of these are different skills, and sometimes important in determining depth charts/redshirts.

I am always frustrated by the AI defaulting to use the same players for PR and KR duties, but I struggle to determine which players would be better candidates for these roles.

We discuss these items occasionally, but in general we have decided against adding this level of granularity. Maybe in the future we'll expand in this area more, but for now we're happy with the engine the way it is.

I struggle with what makes a good returner or with special teams coverage, so I support this fellow GM, it would be great to start adding them into both football games, as they are 33% of the game.

What is also interesting with ST skills, is that you don't seem to actually need a PK and a P.
You just need 1 of them with decent Kick Distance and Kick Accuracy and they will perform more than fine in both roles.
This is true in both the pro and college version of the game.
You can free up roster spots and scholarships.

Yea, I'll fix the PK/P issue.
