strength is the biggest waste of points for a LB. And I don't miss tackles in the age of 'the missed tackle: season 4'.

Most people jack their strength up and feel justified as their rush bar moves higher. If defensive ends can't get free from blocks, how do you expect a linebacker to do so. My LB's play against some great power backs and hold their own.

You don't worry so much about shedding the blocks when your linebacker gets to the point of attack more quickly and efficiently.

Whenever I boost this season I will have spd, agi, and vis at the soft cap with enough left over SP to take either strength or tackling to the soft cap as well.

Strength and Tackling are both at 35 right now. If I am playing LOLB then which one should I soft cap first?


whats ur vision, i wouldnt soft cap it. i have a lvl 26 MLB with 40 Vision and does great.

I would disagree on the vision. His reaction time will increase, so he will play "faster". Have a lvl 24 LB with softcap vision, agility and speed, and does great, but vision is a piece.
