So I got a second -ma on this catcher. With ma 4, it's going to be hell to actually get him to go anywhere on the pitch, but I can think of a lot of areas where +AG is useful. So I'm leaning towards keeping him. What do you think?

I was about to say keep, but with diving catch.... worst skill in the game. Fire him.

Yeah get rid of him I'm surprised you didn't get rid of him straight after the game he lost his second movement. Its always a shame to loose an AG 4 player on a Norse team but he is useless now he can only move 4 spaces.

Fire i'm afraid. Might want to wait one game to replace him however.

Don't wait, he just increases yours teams TR/TV and there is no point in him you don't want him winning MVP and getting any spp any more.

By all means fire him, but don't replace him until you're up to 4 blitzers. The blitzers are the core of the team, the catchers are only useful once you skill them up with Dodge.

You guys convinced me, I really wanted to keep him though, but the thought of him not being able to get to a tackle zone or score a td made me cringe.

How I play norse which is on the soft side, catchers are very important to me. I find 4 blitzers hard to use, and for less skillful coaches I'd say the same.

IMO (and it's an opinion) I'd replace the catcher first and run 2 before looking at increasing your blitzer line up.

I traditionally play 4 blitzers, but 2 of them got niggled in the same game recently. I'm really like blitzers, and will probably stock up on blitzers before buying another catcher, unless my current catcher dies.

Just keep the +AG
You never know when you need it, with ma 4 he can still try to get to the ball and pass.

Just put the guy on the line of scrimage, dont use the apo on him.

For all the guys that don't take the +AG, what else would you pick?
I mean, tackle? on ma 4? Eventually I dont really think there is something better then +AG (unless you have some weird plan)

And wth did you take diving catch on a doube annyway? Guard on norse, or dodge if you have enough guard (but like most coaches say... you never have enough guard).

Oh yeah, whats better then +AG ... Dirty player?
But even then, you would grant him a longer lifespan then he really deserves. But he would still be usefull for the quick boot-kill!
