This is a petition to add more options to not use dodge when blocked/blitzed. It has happened many times that I would not use dodge (on tabletop) in the sidelines, but the client does not ask it. Usually it happens when you get frenzyblocked, first or second block they choose pow/push and then you get in to the edge and just get blocked out.
It could trigger when a player with dodge gets blocked in the sidelines, no need to be in the middle area, maybe? |

I'd like to disable Dodge as well, but the usual reason provided is reducing the client's dialogue pop-up windows.
I prefer to click an extra pop-up to switch off Dodge than having a Dodge player crowdsurfed. |

It would be worth having it optional when on the LOS, as it is an important factor in one turn touchdowns, and not a whole lot any other time. |

When a player gets blocked on the LOS Dodge is optional. |

It is already optional when on LoS and when pushed towards the sideline, and in chainpushes too iirc... I think it covers most occasions you'd want to Opt not to use it... there are of course some fringe instances where it'd be nice, but they are few and far between and I'd prefer it not to pop up the vast majority of the time.
Imagine the amount of pop ups you'd get if you played Zons, with their dodge en masse, and once skilled SS and SF. It would be truly awful! |

But there is no need to have EVERY turn the pop-ups enabled, and we are talking about the Wide Zone, not the whole pitch. That narrows down the potential pop-up spam when facing/playing as Amazons.
There could be a client's option to switch on/off Dodge usage for an important turn only (for example, turn 7-8, when about to score). That way most turns would not trigger the pop-up windows.
While you could afford to have a player crowdsurfed in a not important turn, it's totally different if you had few players left and/or you were about to score (and the surfable player could be a screen on next turn by staying on the pitch).
Flexibility in skills' usage is important.
I'd happily face the hassle of Dodge pop-ups to keep a player on the pitch, on certain turns. |

Times I know the client asks:
1) when blocked on LOS so that a push could send you across scrimmage;
2) when a chain is created;
3) when you could be pushed into the two outermost columns.
Does Grab trigger a pop-up window? IMO, Grab and the initial Frenzy block should trigger a choice by default. |
