Warrior General Games

Anyone put points in it? I was thinking that it could be good for my elusive HB, instead of getting strength up. As the description says that it gives the HB a bonus to avoiding tackles rather than breaking tackles, so I don't think I'd need much strength to successfully use it.

That's actually a pretty good idea, the only problem is that its 3rd on the SA list..

True, but I was gonna go for spin before but that would require a lot more points. I wouldn't need to put that many points in cover up or lower the shoulder and they're pretty useful SA's anyway.

I just started thinking about this whilst watching the Chargers play today, as although LaDainian Tomlinson's mainly known for his elusiveness he always stiff arms defenders in the open field.

I was thinking the same thing the other day. It seems it would work best against CB since they have lower strength. LB on the other hand unless you have decent strength I still don't see it working.

Yeah I agree. My HB regularly goes for big gains on pitches, but gets tackled in the open field by CBs or safeties.
I've just got Stiff Arm to 3 on my HB, so I'll see how it goes next game.

It says it only works against weak defenders or low in str and agility so if you're usually outleveling your opponents it'd be good. Otherwise maybe worth it to just boost up more speed and agility.

Well my HB is level 26 in a level 21 capped league, with 84 speed and 53 agility.

I'd still go for the 2nd cap in agility although in your case I'd say it couldn't hurt for some stiff arm. Just that if you move to a harder league I'm sure that agility would help you more than stiff arm.

I'm not putting anymore points in agility as I have 10 in Quick Cut.

After putting those points in Stiff Arm I think my HB actually used it in last night's game.

I'm quite sure it's Stiff Arm in the 2nd replay as the SA description says it's effective against defenders with low strength and agility and th FS has low both.

It looks like it too.
Definitely seems useful against the weaker teams.

Do you think that was a stiff arm my RB used? Or was the LB just scared shitless?
