If they're sound, they're not gimmicks!

I know, what I meant is that a player should have at least 1 good core skill AND a gimmick, but not just a gimmick starting skill.
With Dodge the Slann Catcher could be more useful and just a skill away from Blodge or Wrodge.

I would rather he had Catch than dodge, it just keeps him interesting and less mainstream, although dodge is often first skill I think it detracts from the teams character too much.

I think DC is a perfect fit for Slann catchers (granted, I don't really like how the skill works, but it's a good fit still). Sure, any other "normal catcher" skill would be better on them, but that's the point, isn't it? And they are setup to use DC better than almost anyone else:

    1) It is awesome on a blitz. Being able to rush in and snatch a ball away, even from a few tackle zones, sometimes saving a GFI (and thus a GFI for any screening players as well) can be a game winner. This is actually where I see most use for DC, with any other benefits as secondary.

    2) It is great for the type of passes that Slann throw, when they pass at all - the crap kind.

    3) It's useful for catching (a pass) while being marked.

    4) Occasionally you're going to get lucky and catch an opponent's bad pass or crowd throw in.


So basically, it's useful on the wacky long shot or special teams plays that can turn a game. Now what race would be a perfect fit for such a skill? Wink

oh yeah, leave them with DC, just give them catch too. So they can actually do their job with some reliability.

Okay, it's a deal! Very Happy

EDIT: Now let's move on to Blitzers for 100K... Wink

Love Actually is a great film. And it has Rick Grimes in it doing stuff and things.

Don't make me come over there! I will jump you up and/or tackle you down... in a menacing way. Just because it's gibberish should in no way lessen the threat! Razz
