60 k Catchers allow the same starting roster, without the following problems :EastCoast wrote:That's a really nice starting roster. Maybe in 20 years for LRB 7.0... I like that more than the STR 3 catchers.mattgslater wrote: Hmmm... what about 130k Ogres to go along with AV8 Catchers? That would allow 1M to look like: 1 Ogre, 4 Blitzers, 3 (Thrower/Catcher)s, 3 Linemen and 3 TRRs, a handsome team by any means. And with AV8 Catchers, they'll have decent skill memory at the high levels.
a) you don't need to change the Ogre's Roster as well (not a big deal though)
b) you don't need to "lose your soul", giving Av8 to a model that, "fluffwise", is meant to be fragile and expendable, just for a matter of game balance (while you still have more adequate options).
Now, a small boost to the catcher (10k discount or Sure Feet for free) is what you need if you just want to increase the performance of the team.
However, it was not the main purpose of this thread : the real goal we were looking for was to change the "gameplay" of humans, in order to give them a more "bashy" roster.
Therefore, the only option we have (for now) to achieve this goal, without adding new minis, is to give human a St 3 Catchers (IMHO, Humans really deserve to have at least 2 players with both ST 3 AND access to Ag skills)
Of course, this boost is huge, and may call for nerf of a different kind (the speed of the roster is then the most obvious target)
