I have 95+ speed and 50 strength...i would like to put a few points into a power skill to improve my break tackle ability...


not sure how much i like stiff arm..cuz it works good if you are going against players with low agility AND low strength...majority of good LBs and Cbs have high agility...


i dunno which to go for...i will probably be told to go for neither...but id like to improve my break tackle chances with my strength being @ a respectable number


IRL...Stiff arm is obviously better for speed, b ut this isnt RL..

thanks

If you get strength up then Lower shoulder but at 50 stiff arm is better

power SAs are based on strength. if your asking which breaks more tackles on a consistent basis, i'd say lower shoulder. I wouldn't put either at a huge break tackle rate without alot of strength though. save yourself SPs and if your hellbent on adding to the tree, do it as early as possible (in other words: lower shoulder)

K thanks Rmiller...i think tahts what im going to do...going to get lower should to like 4 or so...that should be more then enough...and i already got stiff arm at 2..cuz i thought high agility helped cause broken tackles with that...woops...early mistake...o well lol

bump...anyone else have any input?


i already have 2 in lower shoulder and 2 in stiff arm from a long time ago...so i could put +2 in either of the two


or i guess i could put +2 into power through as well...but i dont think having 50 strenght is good enough for that...and it woudl be better to have +4 in somewhere IMO

Better off adding to speed/agility but stiff arm is better. With 60 strength I would say lower shoulder

ya...but my speed and agility it costs +4 to upgrade


and with elusive tree....i already have a good amount invested in that



as a speed back, should i even be worrying about adding in this tree?



also..my jumping is very very low(16.94), i read taht jumping helps breaks tackles(or at least AVOIDE wrap up tackles)? how true is that? seems kinda silly to me

Depends on the player's attributes really.

youre better off not wasting sps into power SAs and add more strength/agility.
