depends on what you want this LB to do.

If it's a level 1 guy, then it would make the most sense if you trained Speed after you've capped all the important stats - Agility, Strength, Tackling and Vision. Remember, Speed is a secondary attribute for a LB. Doesn't make sense, but that's how it is.

disagree, you'll probably hate your LB and retire him by the time u cap FOUR attributes and see no significant stats

I was just considering building a top heavy LB because of the god like abilities of even the weakest of powerbacks this season. So high tackling and strength. But as the trend would suggest, it would just get nerfed...

That's simply not true. Speed is the 5th most important stat for a LB.

Untrue, it would only take a season and a half to cap those four, and you'd be much better off build-wise, because those are improved twice as much during leveling, so you get twice as much free SPs.

But I guess you're one of those guys whose LBs are of those 90 speed, 30 strength variety and wondering, "why are powerbacks this good?"

I needed a good chuckle today also. Look at his LBs. Sorry bro.

Strength still blows for LBs. Higher tackling is the only mitigating factor now against power backs. Strength isn't helping any. At least in Pro Leagues that is. I can't be quite so sure of the dynamics now in A or Pee wee.

and yet we still have 70 strength 55 tackling, 72 strength 62 tackling. 63 strength 55 tacking LBs missing more tackles than a 40/60 on NON-POWER THRU situations. Go figure my builds still haven't been nerfed in 8 seasons. What other position can say that.

I didn't know I'd left my builds open. Anyways, my lvl 27 LBs were the first two I created, and I've never claimed they had good builds. I did learn from that, and my lvl 18 LB is looking quite nice. I guess your first two try at building a player ended up perfectly, and you never had any learning to do?

Go look at my players. And i didn't have the luxury of a more efficient economy of skill points or 2-5 seasons of forum posts dissecting everything ahead of me or the luxury of boosting late because i wanted to punt the first few seasons, etc.

Yeah, and a season 6 noob could read your builds at 27 from those bars without watching a dot replay. Cmon bro, these are the kinds of posts that prompted my early career LB build guide.

hey im a season 6 noob and my LB goes alright, i say speed is fairly important but me thinks agility is more important than anything. I read a guide with good advice "Firstly your Linebacker must get to the position to make the play" So theres no point in stacking str/tackling unless you can interccept the ball carrier.
My 2 cents

So you have the only Linebacker in GLB that has an inflated rush bar (quite evident at level 27) from something other than pumping strength. Lafff.

And pumping a combination of only 2 traits significantly over a lack of strength gives you the only possible combination for your scouting bar.

Also your production (or lack thereof) is commensurate with your scouting bars for that level and shows that your ancillary categories are way underdeveloped.

You should be taking the season 6 noob's advice who posted just after you. He as a pretty good grasp right now and can point you in the right direction if you just are gonna stomp your feet at what I say and has been empirically proven effective over 8 season. Take his word for it if you don't want mine.
