Its kicking. You need to kick the ball out of their hands.

Well yeah, I knew that. I had kicking at the second cap when I was still in the D leagues. I'm working up throwing now, have it at 43, should be soft capped soon. Then, Im expecting to really see some production.

interesting read, made me go out and roll an LB. Question to rod - so slow build, yes or no? spread skill pts across speed/agi/vision as I level or wait until they're within soft-cap range and cap 1 by 1 ?

I would like some advice on how I should continue developing my LB, he is lvl 33 and playing MLB. I was thinking putting SP into speed until hardcap and training jumping and catching to 30. What is your oppinion?

imo you need to up your agility unless speed is close to the second cap. maybe switch some eq into agility if you're going to do that. 50 agility for level 33 is too low period.

LOL.. That's definitely not a stud.

i dont agree with this, well for OLB i do. this guys probably doesnt realize MLB are supposed to be different..... i made a LB who is doing very well for his team, lvl 20. and he didnt follow anything close to this.

I've fixed much worse. The only mistakes is really too many SA's and maybe putting points into confidence over training it. It doesn't preclude you from having success now or in the future.

Your production just shows how many categories and the balance needed for a LB and how just shooting up one attribute at a time isn't such a short or long term successful solution.

-Don't put anymore points into SA's for 20 levels.
-Don't put anymore points into confidence but to train it ONLY.
-You are ok on strength/tackling/stam for a while.
-Focus on speed/agility ONLY for next 40 skill points at a minimum.

you are ok, dude . Don't worry

Go ahead and retire that guy and start over. you don't need a single point in big sack.

But if you don't care, then pump speed to cap. then agility, then vision. stop spending on s.a's for now. and you probably wasted a point in defense gen when you might not even be playing m.l.b.

You have to decide before you build. Do you want to play middle, or O.L.B, then build accordingly.

it looks like you have no real direction you're heading with him.

so for starters, lets just retire your LB because you think he has 2 superfluous points in an SA that is not utilzed for right now.

Whatever.

You have to decide what type of LB before you build him. . . that is crazy. You may not have to pump DGen til level 25 or higher if ever you decide just to be a MLB. Otherwise what else in LB builds dictates a dramatic shift in build theory per LB position. It doesn't genius.

Its obvious that your asinine attempts to discredit me when this theory has been nitpicked unsuccessfully to death fail miserably.

Don't weigh in when you don't have a clue, bro.

Yea points wasted anywhere will hurt you in the long run.

Nobody really agrees with him, that's why he is mad all the time.

Since you realize the drastic differences in MLB and OLB builds and have a single level 20 linebacker you should start a thread then.

I'm sure people are waiting with baited breath for your contribution so they could mimic your LB's play and miss 17% of his tackles, get no hurries or sacks or PDs or TFLs or really anthing of substance.

At least you think he is doing very well, because nobody else sure would. Again, you are just the type of person I am trying to protect these newer players from.

No point in really getting a LB to a softcap a few levels early. The fractional point is one of the smallest gains in the game per level. I say spread and play with it as you go along to try to learn something from the boring ass slow build waste of a few seasons. Capping 1 by 1 makes we want to vomit blood.

I champion close/aggressive and run focus. If you have ever watched a game with a LB on close/medium you would puke.

what Darren Mac said. Can't tell where your equip is, so . . .

You need speed and agility and could use vision to 55 (season 6 change)

Thanks, all my EQ is in speed, without it speed is 46

A couple more questions for the LB experts:
- How does OLB and MLB differ in build requirements?
- SAs LOLB / MLB = hard hitter, ROLB = Pass rush?

I've tried to focus speed and agility since making some errors about 10 levels ago by putting too much in strength and stamina. He has started making more plays this season as I've upped his speed and agility, but its tough to tell how much is based on bad competition. I have been training jumping and have seen an increase in tackling radius. Hows he doing overall? I was contemplating retiring him after this year, but he is the fist guy I built so I would like to keep him as long as I can.
