Page 42, Player Activations, describes when a player is normally activated, and the Blitz kick-off event also mentions that you activate the players. As far as I can tell there are no other occurrences where a player is activated.Here is an odd one... when and how does a player become "Activated" as a player need to "Activate" in order to use the Pro skill. I'm sure it has nothing to do with your team being the Active team as player can Activate ouside of that like in a Blitz kick of result for example.
No to all of these. A player is "activated" during their team turn and possibly during a Blitz event.Are the player counting as "Activated" when performing a pass action from the Dump Off skill for example... or what about receiving a pass or hand over... can Pro skill be used for a catch roll or an Interference roll?!?
No, Dump Off states that the player can "perform a Quick Pass action", not that the player "is activated". I can definitely see the confusion between "being activated" and "performing an action" though.I think that the Dump Off seem to indicate the player is Activated as they perform an Action, but catching and Interference might not constitute the player being activated. The problem that I see with the rules is that it does not explicitly tell what it means to "Activate" the player other than a player may activate once during your turn and some during a blitz or perform an action such as Dump Off.
Yeah, Pro only works during your own activation. If you need the catch re-roll, you'll need the Catch skill or use a team re-roll.I think it is a pity if a player can't use Pro to re-roll a catch roll for example
Yes, the Blitz event states the players are "activated to perform a move/Blitz/TTM action".Related to this... can the Dodge skill be used on a Blitz kick of result. The skill specifies it can only be used once per team turn and a Blitz is not a team turn just an odd player activation. You can't use team re-rolls during a Blitz for example.
[Edit: note that a Blitz does not happen during your own team turn, but the Dodge skill states it can be used "once per team turn", not "once during your own team turn" ;-)]
