That's not true, Strength also helps with pass deflection which make it more useful than tackling.

true but id rather have jumping to 68 and high swat ball. I have noticed that softcap strength helps a lot on deflections.

You can't really go all out to stop them from the SS position, at least without gimping your player. I've gone 80 STR/75 TAK + Make Tackle % EQ + a strong tackler SA tree and still miss against PBs. If I went any higher I'd be a liability in pass coverage or against faster players.

As a defender you have to be able to get to the ball carrier in order to even use your tackling skills. As a runner, your break tackle skills will be in effect any time you have the ball (except for the restriction on Bruiser). I think break tackle is probably the most useful VA/SA for this reason.

I know that why I dont attempt to. lol. Gang tackling.

But it would....it would have to.

If you had 80 str and 80 tkl along with 110 speed and 11s in MH, Growl and BH where would you expect agility/vision/jumping/confidence to be at level 70 if you also brought SV up to 10?

thats what i was trying to say.... be interested to see if you can do this in the build creator

You can. It wouldn't neglect anything. It wouldn't have as high of agility/vision as i normally like on good coverage safeties (80 for each) and normally i'd like speed 115 minimum but it'd be effective enough at 65-70 for agi/vis. Obviously that's the trade off but considering i'm talking about str/tkl in the 80-85 range that makes sense. Much better than the crappy 68 str/tkl builds that consider themselves run stuffers and still don't have 80 agi/vis


But yea, you can't really fight short yardage mosnter +bruiser + break tackle % aeq + high powerthrough, lower shoulder, stiff arm and spin. When those HBs are in the backfield they're almost unstoppable unless their stamina/morale happens to be low and even within the first 8 yards (when bruiser is in effect) they're really tough to bring down for MLBs even.
