I can see where they both can be utilized. But when you see bases that can do at least that, DO YOU SAY THAT'S IT, YOUR ON THE TEAM. OR DO YOU DIG AND DIG TRYING TO FIND SOMETHING BETTER.
Is it worth it trying to find a base that can take it to the house as opposed to going 75 yards. lets face, all you have to do is be on your own 25 yard line and that base that goes 75 yards is your house taker.
I also think a great coach can take a mediocre tweaked base set and turn that team into something special.

***SO ARE YOU SAYING, YOU CAN GO THROUGH A MAJORITY OF THE 480 BASES TO BUILD 1 TEAM ? IF SO, MAN THATS WORK !!!!!

I would take the bases..... I know that when I am building a team, it usually beginss in the late spring forthe upcoming season. It can start out with 50-60 players for the team in figures. I may not dress them all, but you can see 50 bases to start with. Now mind you, that is for just one uniform of the team in question.

Okay, when teaking for competitive play, you want players that can run and be tough in the trenches, fly to the ball, and run to the house or execute your schemes. Well the only way to find all this talent is to go thru those 480 bases to find the best players to give you a chance to win.

You may need some of the 30 yd types as well as the 75+ types on your team. you may even have some 15 yd guys too. They may not play every down, but they will make an impact when they do.

I may go thru 100 to 150 bases to put together my team. The difference being is that every base tweaked that does not make my team is still good enough to make someone else's team. I have given away fanchise players to so many cooaches I have lost count. some have come back to score points on me, others have used my "coached-up players" to win titles so I know this to be true.

Dre, if you want to make your team do the things you want, you will need to "coach them up" by making each player special and as a unit, the team will be special.
