Just to be sure : can you or not use NoS to ignore TZ when you try to pick up the ball ? I think not, but...

LRB Page 35. Passing or catching the ball. I see no reason why picking up the ball shouldn't be included myself, and would have applied it to that myself before I checked.

It's not used for picking up because we already have big hand for that.

It would also be too bloody powerful.

Don't have LRB at hand, but quite sure. At least, I played it this way for a long, bloody 8 years. (BTW, I'm trying to download LRB from GW site, and don't seem to be able to. Office ADSL connection, damn good firewall.
Any idea?)

Same problem for me, I managed to get it this way : open the file (do not use the "download target file"), then when it is completely accessible, try File - Save As...

Tell me if it doesn't work, we sall try somthing else.

Moonsong is right. It applies to both throwing and catching the ball.

yup, and not when picking up the ball, because it s not considerate catching it, just like you can not use catch when you pick the ball. That was said in another post

Thanks, but the problem is I can't go beyond the legal stuff Java button wich says "I agree". It returns an error. What do you think?

The way it works...

Post by Cervidal »

Nerves of Steel is used whenever a player is trying to Catch or Pass. If a player is trying to Pick Up, it does not work. A Pick Up happens when you try to grab the ball when it is completely at rest. This means NoS works when:

Catching a pass

Attempting to intercept the ball

Grabbing a bouncing ball

Receiving a handoff

Throwing a pass (Dump-Off included)

I had the same problem. I found that it seems to let you in sometimes and return errors at other times. Seems pretty weird, but just keep trying and hopefully you should get through eventually...

If you can get to the page where you choose the file to download, then try to right-click on the link and choose the "Save target file as..." option. You then choose a directory on your HD. Good luck, and tell me if you manage to get it.
