shouldn't natural leader ... make your team mates better, not improve your own vision.

Maybe the trait needs a rethink.

After reading this thread, I'm thinking the same. Just brainstorming here.....

Change the name of the existing "Natural Leader" to something like "Great Recognition", and leave it as a QB-only Trait, and let it continue to be a 5% boost to Vision for QBs.

Change the bonus for a "Natural Leader" to something else, for example:

- EXPERIENCE: a boost to Experience for the players around him. So a Natural Leader who plays on Offense might give a .5 boost in Experience to every other offensive player with less Experience than the Natural Leader. No impact on players with equal or greater XP. In theory you could have 3 Natural Leaders - one on offense, one on defense and one on special teams.

- TEAM CHEMISTRY: a boost to TC for the players around him. Say +1 TC for every Experience point the Natural Leader has. A Natural Leader on offense only boosts TC for the offense. On defense, he only boosts the defense's TC.

This way the trait could apply at any position, but would only affect the offense, defense, or special teams.

I like this in theory...I feel it would need to be more defined...example a a guy could be a bonus to he own group of players eg. if he was an Oline guy allhi only would benefit..break it up as the same as coaches.

Just a thunk:

how about a 5% bonus to the Teamwork funtion for each group (as already mentioned), if one of group has trait

But to still extra-bonus the QB (which it does at the moment) - if QB has trait: 5% bonus to his vision and 5% Teamwork bonus to whole offence.

Or if you want to be more realistic: 5% bonus to QB Vision and just 5% bonus to Pass blocking (I don't follow football in real-life but presume that superstar WR's / TE's / RB's have the same mental mindset as the similar rated professional soccer player)

How on earth did a simple suggestion to give natural leader trait to LBs too turn into a suggestion about a friggin area buff for the whole offense/defense?

I'm sure somewhere down the road Pete will introduce new traits or even rework some of them. If you have ideas just open a thread named "new trait ideas" or whatever, there's no harm in that, but please don't hijack this one and turn it into the next height/weight thing. (there I said it, problem sh8888? )

Giving this vision bonus to LBs seem easy to do, and if Pete (and the rest of the gang) likes the idea, then I'm sure we could see it go live in the next season...and not speculate about something 5-10 seasons from now. One step at a time guys.

Apologies, just thought 'leadership' and 'teamwork' might have some sort of connection.

Crawling back under my rock now.

And I'm not saying you're wrong! No need to take it personally.

Giving LB the Natural Leader trait was a good idea on this thread, as well as the new thread. Good ideas don't die.
