I think a lot of people still are wanting to make the DT something it is not. A DT is a power guy. Not a speed rusher. He doesn't rack up stats, and doesn't get tons of sacks.

DTs are middle cloggers and run stoppers.

If you want a pass rusher, just build a DE.

In GLB the center gets 1 point in strength every level up. So if both center and DT "max" strength early, every 3 levels from that point on the center will pick up one point of strength on the DT without spending anything.

Eventually the running game will be adjusted more and you will find some more power rushing teams and all the people who have fast/lower strength DT's will get ran over.

Takes a lot of balls to post the absolute guide to building a DT with only 2 career sacks to show for it.

Nope, it just takes someone who has seen a lot of good DT builds and the one's who have produced, and now knows the mistakes he made with his original DT builds.

Edited to add:

This is probably the only advantage of being a bad recruiter. You get to see 100s of builds at the same position and see what has worked and what hasn't.

I've actually had good success going agility first, and then strength, especially for DTs (as opposed to NTs). The theory is that in that sort of build, you want just enough strength to avoid being completely abused, and loads of agility to sidestep your blockers to get into the backfield.

A third option, which I haven't been able to fully test yet, is for an NT type to get strength up really high, and then tackling before agility, with the goal being to use power tackling in order to cause a lot of fumbles.

Your mileage may vary; but if you're limited by a specific plan, you'll never be in a position to unlock the game's secrets.

I like the agility first concept, however, from a practical standpoint, you'll have a stamina issue at the begining of the build. STR first is easier to build up since you can ignore stam for a little bit and still get max xp.

If you're dedicated, play on a D-League team for a full season. You'll get damn near max snaps no matter what due to the high rotation.

If you're building a DT to play DT or NT in a 4-3, STR is still easily the most important skill. Without it you get pushed around by OGs and OCs a lot. AGI is 2nd most important, and if you are REALLY dedicated to making a pass-rush specialist at DT (hybrid 3-4 DE possibly) then AGI can pay off early with stats, but will hurt you more in the long run imo.

The only real question for a DT, I think, is if you want to go STR 2:1, AGI 2:1, STR 3:1 (obv with other points in spots) or STR 3:1, AGI 2:1.


Nope, I say go either strength or agility 5:0. Make sure whichever you want to develop first is at 32 at level 1, then assign the first 15 points there. That way he will be at 49.01 at level 4 and you don't lose any more 1 for 1 pts in that attribute.


2:1 and 3:1 are referring to the point where it starts costing 2 SPs for 1 stat point, not the ratio for distrubution.

I built my DT very balance STR 70 Agi 48 Speed 39. Maybe I will break all basic concept but the speed is extremly important to me. Simple, the shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line, therefore, the speed will help you to get sacks instead hurries..

Has anyone taken into consideration training Jumping and the impact it could have on deflecting passes? Just curious if a study has been done.

I wish everyone considered that balanced. As opposed to trying to balance DTs like this

60 strength
40 agility
30 speed
45 tackling
28 vision
25 confidence

I just created two players and boosted them to LV 4. One has 48 strength the other has 48 agility. I will leave them both in the D league for a year. I will also leave them open. Let see witch one is better. Please PM me with comments.

I plan on training stam and buying LV 1 stam equipment. Any comments on our experiment???

It's a cool experiment. Are they both in the same position? DT almost always does better stat wise than NT, so that' hard to go by. Can't wait to see the results, and if CPU automatically plays one at DT and the other at NT.

Donnie Powertackle Got placed at NT Cust Equip 54 ST

Donnie Agiltackle Got placed at DT Cust Equip 54 AG

Does that 70 include equipment bonus or is that stand alone?

Equipment bonus included (1 remain to upgrade). My SA trees are another story

Cool experiment, although I would probably train the secondary stat, strength or agility, rather than stamina. Garidan pointed out earlier his agile DT wasn't getting so warn out. That and since your playing in the D-leagues, you might as well train the secondary stat; as long as you get your 40-50 snaps per game who cares what your stamina is.
