Warrior General Games

thanks.

Strength and tackling seems to be the best intense combo for this...can't hurt to be better in the run game.

Train on intense, Confidence/Vision without any doubt.

Strength and tackling what for? This is the most stupid advice ever -.-

I'd say STR/TCK because it'll help you break WR blocks to stop pitch plays. It will also help if the WR makes a catch on you...makes sure he doesn't break it long. I haven't seen enough balls come my way yet this season, but I'd imagine it couldn't hurt with defending passes while engaged with the WR.

I agree with everyone except cornerback X24. I would put the boost point in jumping until the softcap, then put it in confidence.

strength/tackling, vision is too high to be worth training.

For training, it makes a lot of sense. First, they're both under 25, which is the line where training stops being as worth it. Vision is worth about 12% for him, strength around 32% per train. If strength were down around 24, it'd be worth it again due to the 2:1 cap, but the value right now is strength.

Secondly, like FYNBYAC said, strength will help you break blocks to stop pitches. Strength will help you force fumbles when you hit someone (especially if you're moving fast and hit them squarely). Strength will help you bring people down on that first hit. And strength will help you break a tackle or two while returning that interception.

Tackling will help by making him less of a liability against the run. All too often, front 7 gets blocked, CB has to make a tackle, misses, RB gets an extra 10 yards. Training tackling will stop him from missing those, and also increases the radius where he can reach the guy (or a wideout who has slightly beaten him).

By no means should he put points in them at level ups yet. Those would be more useful in Vision or Jumping. But for training, it is the most value and fairly useful.

First of its not the CB´s job to stop pitch plays, second an average DE/LB stops the pitch pretty easy nowadays, third I have never seen a WR block last significant longer than 1 second. Ever, for real. Fourth his vision is to low.

You should have enough agility to get around any block with ease anyway.


I dont see the point training a attrinute that ranks to low to be really important for your player just for the option to potentially stop a play comming your way. But meh, I have seen many myths going around the board so in the end its up to the player itself.
My CB has 18 strength, 26 tackling and when I miss a tackle its mostly a powerback (which you cant stop anyway if you dont have strength softcapped) or a player I am not covering and have a bad angle to.


Speed, agility, vision, jumping, confidence, catching, stamina (in that order) are the attributes important for a CB.


Edit: I didnt ment my first post to be disrespectfull to anyone regarding the phrasing. Everyone has his own approach, mine works pretty well for me

Well first off, I didn't take any disrespect to it, so no worries. Obviously one type of build doesn't have to be the only one, there are plenty that work.

It may not be the CB's job to stop a pitch play, but I'd much rather have mine ready to do so if it happens to make it that far. It's given me 2 TFL on 5 pitch plays that came my way, so that's a positive for me.

I agree that his vision is too low, but training it would only yield a point every 5 intense trainings at best. Personally I think it would be better to just devote the next few levels to vision.

Or maybe go for a vision/jumping combo. That could work too. Either one works I suppose, I just like to have my STR/TCK to 30/30. Personal preference.

You can't really go wrong with and Strength and Tackling combo, but a Vision/Jumping combo would probably work well too.

I don't know about confidence, I'm going to raise that soon and see how it affects my CB, but so far in the low 20s he's performing well.

Strength and tackling for you too IMO.
