AG4 Human Catcher- what next?

Wilhelm von Klaiserkopf · Mon Jul 07, 2003 2:10 pm

I have a catcher- Block, AG+1, Diving Catch. His next advance is looming large, and I can't decide what skills to consider. Please... help me...

I would say possibly Side Step/Sure Feet on a normal roll, and Jump Up on a double.

I'd think about leap as well, NOS on doubles.

Diving Catch seems a bit of a waste for me. Did you pick that one after the AG+?

How about something different? Strip Ball on a normal roll or Dauntless on a double. Follow it up with leap next.

For a human catcher with AG4.....
I think on a normal skill roll sure feet on a double NoS.

why on earth did you take diving catch?!?!? worst ag skill ever!

go with leap on normal skill, nerves of steel w/doubles

leap, dauntless or NOS on double depending on your playing style

Yeah, NOS would be another option.

or pray for +1MA - MA9 AG4 is lethal. If you get +1MA then definitely get sprint after that, you can do 1 turn TDs with a quick snap KO result which usually catches opponents out as they don't expect humans to be able to do that.

Jump Up rocks too.

I took diving catch after the AG+, and I took it because my throwers aren't too experienced yet, so he has to go throwing himself around to catch a whole lot of inaccurate throws, If he's within range to get a TD, I can throw a long bomb with my AG3 throwers and still have a decent chance of ctaching it.

Side Step as a skill, Dauntless or NoS on a double (personally, I'd take NoS and hope for a Dauntless-doubles on the other Catcher later).

I'd go with leap. But that's me...

Nice to be able to go OVER the defence...

Nos on a double, pass block or leap on standard roll

Regular skill could be Sure Feet or Sidestep. Attractive doubles choices are Jump Up, Dauntless and Nerves of Steel. I really believe that with a player this this kind of player, there really isn't a "wrong" skill choice, and it depends on your play style.

That said, I also believe that a team needs to shore up their weaknesses. It is fairly easy to score with a human team, so they need help on defence. Sidestep and Dauntless could become attractive choices.

definitely Leap ! or Pass Block.

On a double: NOS
