I can't figure it out, and I don't see it in the tutorials.
I thought at first it was to indicate a fatigued player as it seems to happen later in the game, but I see it around my guys with a good amount of stamina.
Anyone know?
Also, it took buying a 65" tv to finally realize the blue ring around a selected player's feet indicates their stamina. I've been playing this for months, and now I feel like a dum-dum. It would be cool to increase the contrast of Full Stamina vs. Depleted Stamina colors. The blue vs. slightly less opaque blue gets lost pretty easily.
Hi @HisGreal ! This pulse refers to the players "momentum". They get a boost when they're on a roll basically.
Whaaaa well that's cool! What's the system around this? What kind of boost do they get and how do they get it?
@HisGreal A bit more about this via one of the devs - it's actually labelled a team "confidence" indicator. This is a stat your team generates in several ways:
Successfully tackling a player or escaping a tackle.
Successfully fending a player.
Sidestepping a player.
Field goals/conversions.
Tries.
You also lose confidence for:
Having tries scored against you.
Being tackled or failing to tackle someone.
Failing a fend.
Failing a sidestep.
Fumbling the ball.
Knocking on the ball.
Your teams confidence boosts the following stats of all of your players:
Break tackle ability.
Tackle ability.
Pass accuracy.
Catch ability.
Offload Ability.
Kick accuracy (goal and general).
Discipline.
Aggressiveness.
Confidence also starts higher if you are on a win streak. Having high "confidence" will make the circle visible.
This is great! Tell me is this applied to online balanced gameplay?
