[Steel Town Tough]

What type bases do you guys use and how much do you tweak?I understand the tweak factor is not as big of a deal here.Thanks STT

STT,


You can use whatever base you want outside of boat bases. But the base of chioce in this system is ALL ROOKIE BASES. The only concern in the MPFL is that your bases run relatively straight. Rookies bases because it is easier to put all the weight under a rookie base. Also it is easier to attach any magnets under the base. You direct the players via the stops. So the player will run wherever you direct it. This style is bases more on coaching than how strong your base is. This is why the weight is unlimited. The premise is building an NFL duplicated team. Seeing who can push who back is not an issue here. Some leagues have weight limits so the members can compete on an even keel. In this system, Build your team to the best of their potential and put your product on the field. Your lineman may be 7.2 and mine may be 5.6. I would just have to find a way to compete with the heavier player.

You may push him back for a slit second. But on the next stop i will have players in position to make a play. (player discipline).


DONT WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING BUT PUTTING AN NFL TEAM ON THE PLAYING SURFACE. I would use SQUARE FRONT rookie bases on many players to pick up blocks and throw blocks. A square front base can get a nice hat on a player.
A receiver can be on a square front rookie base and throw a nice block on a LB or DB to spring a running back for a bigger gain.

REMEMBER YOUR RECEIVERS CAN BLOCK ALSO.

Our style is pretty close to MPFL and I may have to disagree with you slightly on the bases Dre. 90% of them I agree with the rookie bases, but I have found OLB's can be quite handy on a dial base.

There have been times I have been able to get around a tackle with my olb and get after the QB a hair faster if I turn the base just right. IT could be the difference between getting to the ball carrier or QB a hair before the next stoppage of the board.

OL can be handy on a dial base too if you adjust it to try and create a hole for your RB.

But ya for the most part rookie bases do the job nicely.

The best types og bases to use are the rookie bases and hears why, with rookie bases you can add weight under the bases, but with the TT bases you can only add very little.

Another point is that the stoppages give you the control needed to direct you're players. But at the end of the day it's up to the coach.

I think I should correct myself a bit after playing more. I am leaning towards all rookie bases as well. (Except on the O-Line if I get a good strong dial base)

Hoop27,

What is the weight on your TTCs that you are using?

I ask this quesh., because I am not sure how successful one would be using TTCs on offensive lineman (or linebackers for that matter) in the weighted game. Whether multi-stop or one stop, in the weighted game, a premium is placed on the weight of your linemen. Forget anything you have heard about weight does not matter. In the weighted game as a whole, it's probably best not to focus on weight in every position, but for line play, it is extremely imperative. The heavier the weight underneath the base does not always translate into a better athlete, but most od the strongest players on the filed in the weighted game are offensive and defensive lineman. As with most positions, you want that right mix of weight, strength and speed.

Hopefully, you will get a chance to play againts one of the weight teams from our area of the states. Our rookie base lineman will destroy just about any weighted ttc base with a dial. However, I recently have been experimenting with creating weighted ttc bases without a dial. These have been a bit more challenging, but to my surprise, they have shown quite a bit of promise.

In the weighted game, weight matters --- just not in every position.
