So do most people stick their best OL's at Tackle?


Yes.

Tackles are the only OL that block against 3, 4 and 5 DL fronts.
Guards don't block against 3 DL fronts and Centers don't block against 4 DL fronts.

Actually, let me rephrase this. Pete said that the blocking calculation depends on the entire OL so presumably all 5 OL matter on each and every play. So in reality, Guards don't get blocks or missed blocks against 3 DL fronts but they probably still help the overall blocking of your entire OL.

Ah that makes sense as the last guy I played used mainly 3 DL fronts. Thanks for this tip, very handy

The same is valid for DL btw, and...each of these Lineman (O + D) acts with his "neighbor" left and right of him. So saying the C is not blocking on 4 DL lines is basically wrong somehow...his abilities help the Guards left and right of him. This is important! So without your add-on it would be real wrong. People miss this very often

I see a 35 yo on the TM. How is that possible? I thought it was auto retire @36

35 year old

So I guess some will play when they are 36. ?

as mentioned many times, there is no hard cap on the players age for retiring. But from 36, is is quite common for the guys to retire...

Re importing an exported PB:

"This will create a TXT file. Just store the file on your hard disc. Do never ever edit the file, this could result in broken formatting, which causes a loss of your rules."

Can I change the file name though without risking a loss of rules?

You can also edit your PB file (you are lazy and you have many lines, if you want to delete some of them).

Once you have opened the file, don't forget to read this first :

"Do never ever edit this file, this will result in broken format of it and you won't be able to import"

A short question: at which rate is experience gained? I know I read it somewhere but I couldn't find it with the search function.
