Receiver Fake Rule

[Dean-Atlanta]

Medium passing is less effective in some ways because FBPro employs a "catch up" feature where, there longer ther pass route, the more the defender catches up to the receiver. Fakes will not help counter that.

I have observed that the player possessing the ball is slowed down relative to other players. I believe this could be countered by downward adjusting the EN of the defenders a bit.

That is already built into the current ratings model, WRs top out at 91 EN and CBs at 87 EN.

Keep it real though. If a receiver uses 'throw a fake' the QB must execute 'fake pass' for each instance. So if two receivers execute 'throw a fake,' the QB must 'fake pass' at least twice before passing the ball.

I'd even allow RBs to 'throw a fake' in the back field but only if they are the recipient of a 'fake handoff' from the QB and it is timed to occur simultaneously.

So, yes, I'm in favor as long as the QB does something too.

I'd say limit it like I believe Charlie intends to one play per category. Also, I think the HB fakes in the backfield need to be tested as a separate item first before allowing them to be implemented. This just screams like it could potentially be an AI buster. However, if it can be proved to not be I'd be ok with it.
