Hi,
New questions I'm working on : the board 's switching.
In my idea, I 'm thinking about that setup, and I'll explain why.
presnap : defense or
offense
after snap :
- for running play : defense operate the board, until tackle, yards gain stop, or OOB happens
- for passing play :
- offense operates the board for WRs route. Then, when he choose, or after a limited amount of time (I have to test it deeper to figure how much time), he stops the board, and clearly announce the receiver (immediatly/less than 2secs).
- then (I'll detail passing simulation in my ruleset, but I'll allow other passing methods), after passing simulation steps (angles, measuring, etc...) are done and ball marker posed on the field, DEFENSE operates the board, until tackle, yards gain stop, or OOB happens
For now, we always play OFFENSE = operates the board. I'm not happy with that system.
First, because of the lack of interaction for the defense during game. A feel of "punishement" to be in defense position. You almost do nothing but just put your formation on the field, and wait. It's not my taste, because I love defense strategy game.
Then, because on defense (we play FOB tackling, and I want to stick to that unique system), you sometimes see a tackle and the offense, even if he does not want to cheat, is focused on his run or WR routes, and does not see it and so does not switch off the board.
If the defense operates the board (once offence coach has done his stuff), the d coach will be focused on tackles, and will be able to stop the board on the tackles or even just before them and explain the situation to his opponent.
More interaction, more fun, more fair, and easier to manage without any referee.
what do you think of these ideas ?
