SAME AS THE STICKS BUT MUCH QUICKER. I ran this by one of the greatest passers of all times uncle don smith and he likes the idea. Im going to call him and have him explain this to those who dont understand yet.

IF THERE IS SOMETHING PEOPLE DONT LIKE MORE PEOPLE MUST GET OFF THERE ********** AND TRY TO CREATE THINGS AND NOT JUST SHOW UP WITH A TEAM IN A BOX. THAT'S WHY I COMMEND GENO ON CREATING THE GREAT "tdq". go out and get yours.

I WOULD LIKE THOSE WHO DONT LIKE THE STICKS TO EXPLAIN EXACTLY HOW THEY HAVE HURT YOU IN THE PAST OR DO YOU THINK THEY MAY COST YOU A GAME. Remember, no matter how straight your receiver runs, somehow they seem to miss the ball alot during the game. it's harder than you think to have your receiver go and touch that ball. "A BASE CAN VEER LEFT OR RIGHT IN A SPLIT SECOND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"What the HELL does random luck mean?"

Dont get all salty when someone (or me) doesnt agree with your idea Dre. it aint no biggie.
but since you asked - what i mean is if i have a guy who is within the 5 yard distance of a stick simulation pass (red), i dont want to roll your 7 and 6 and now make it a 13 yard pass which could place the ball near the defense. what do i do then, say never mind and throw it away wasting a down? when all i needed to do was complete my 5 yard dump to the wide open RB in the flat. OR, i dont want my opponent rolling snakeyes on a bluestick bomb where it will be easily completed, as opposed to having to jet 15 yard or so and beat out my defenders. Now whats wrong with that counter point?

and my argument (frustration rather) against the sticks was backed up by you and someone else- having the guys run to the ball and "catch it". how does rolling a double sixes, or any number, help with that problem?
however,
if i have it correct, your attempt is to speed up the game when using some form of pass simulation. AND THATS FINE. but i just said it doesnt solve the true problem of passing sticks. and for the most part, i havent had a problem with the speed of the sticks to point where i would want to change it. now if you and others want to try, that is straight cool with me. but you asked for feedback and you got it, so accept it!

Also, i have a healthy respect for Don. what with i have heard about him coupled with his kindness, encouragement and good words on the phone the few times we have spoken. but gotta say, so what the "uncle" Don SMith, one of the "GREATEST" passers of alltime likes the idea. does that mean we should all like it? The Great PrettyBoy thought my comment was funny (wasnt tryin to be), does that mean we should all laugh too? come on with that!

and as far as changing the game to improve it, i am all for it. but like you said, not everyone can play in the movie, some people have to go watch it.
so everyone does not have to rise up and make change in hobby when they dont like something. and many do make change, but just dont blast it on the board for all to fall in line and follow along.

but again, like i said in my first post, i do appreciate your thought provoking questions and they are good for discussion. Sincerely, keep them coming.
