Tell me where we're going wrong

LBs:
90+ speed/65-70 agility
55 strength/55-60 tackling
Vision 48+

WTH are we supposed to change this time?

I'm confused....my linebackers, secondary and Dline managers all spent $30-35 per player on this game and want to know what's UP?

Maybe some more tackling? Play on wrap up if you aren't already.

The RB likely has much higher STR than 55. Coupled with PT and LS, that' s a recipe for disaster.

Yup most power backs have a lot of strength and some points into Bruiser...this means the unstoppable totally nerfed mid season back will be coming soon, probably right at Play off time... Plan accordingly

trust us, we pretty much gave up on pass defense the last two games because we were worried that our linebackers with 50+ strength and 60+ tackling wouldnt be enough to stop even an average power back.

come on man....I'm a DE on his team I missed 3 tackles in the game and made 0!

You think my tackling and build are bad? Previous to this game I have missed only



2 TACKLES IN THE LAST 19 REGULAR SEASON GAMES


In this game I missed tackles on back to back plays. Am I supposed to now change my build cuz my DE can't tackle all of the sudden?

Bort has made Powerthrough so effective all of the sudden add that to Bruiser VA and powerbacks are supermen..I know he's trying to balance things out, but all he's doing is making a different kind of player unstoppable....then everybody will shift their build over to powerback and then he'll change it again....this game is an exercise in chasing your tail IMO

Power backs are very buggy this season, hopefully it's fixed in the OS

Well what is your tackling?

I'm not saying your build is bad, but what happened in the past doesn't matter now. Think of it like this. Those last games, there was no Bruiser VA. That coupled with the fact that Power HBs are the new in-thing and most HBs are working on getting their strength up, and you get broken tackles. My bet is that you haven't worked on tackling in the past 2 seasons or so.

Also were you on wrap up? I think all this arguing is pretty pointless if nobody was on wrap up. Anyways if you guys are having problems with tackling maybe you should put more points into tackling.

tackling...well over 50
strength..over 70
confidence over 40
Stamina over 50
Vision over 50


You would think that's enough to at least make 1 out of 3 tackles. Guess for the rest of our careers all defensive players should pump points into tackle...cuz it needs to be 80+ for you to be able to make a tackle vs a powerback...

My LB with over 60 tackling and 50 strength, on WRAP UP...missed 9 tackles in a game this season.

Nine.

By far the most MTs in a game in 7 seasons.

The power backs are fucked up. Period. I'm sure its a combination of changes made including the VAs...I'm just hoping it is fixed in the OS cause right now it is very clearly broken.

Well that is pretty ridiculous then. I was thinking the people complaining had like soft-capped tackling. In my experience I haven't missed a lot of tackles with tackling over 60. I guess I'm just not facing the right backs?

Plus BP you never answered the wrap up question. I'm not saying you weren't on wrap up, but if you weren't, you probably should be.

This is the problem with the game in general. Too much change to the sim from season to season.

I meant more along the lines of VAs and HBs boosting their tackle-breaking abilities when they boost while DE's are probably just working on getting faster and faster.

For LBs I've noticed the difference between around 60-60 tackling/strength and having one under 55 is quite a bit.

Seems to me in this game an inch often becomes a mile.
