If tweaking is just as effective wilth longer lasting results then, why is boiling so tabu? I don't know about others, but I still have to tweak my bases after boiling them. I am not familiar with an overwhelming bad smell associated with boild bases. Other than the smell, I would think that boiling would be up to each individual coach. Also, I'm just an advocate of not banning a particular practice just because I don't like it or use it. I think each coach should be able to utilize his strengths as long as it is within the rule set. I used to boil for power and strength, but with the advent of new equipment, I more so boil for speed and smoother running men. Ken, you and many others witnessed me tweaking a unboiled proline, and making it stronger than one of my strongest boiled players at the convention in Chicago, when the Prolines first came out (Klingbeil asked how did u do that, & I gave a demo). That is why you would be suprised to find out which positions have boild bases on my squad. I feel you on some of the pains, trials, and tribulations of trying to boil for strength. I have purchased up to 10 packs of bases to find 3 out of 222 to make the Offensive/Defensive Line, LB or TE. Far too much work. In building my teams today, I find maybe 45%-50% of them to have boiled bases on them. I just don't want to loose the option.
