Fist scrimmage game is updated. Career game in tackles

in the next scrimmage game you should change your tackling style to try to force as many fumbles as possible.
Would be interesting to see how much of a drag your low tackling skill would be...

You have inspired me to build my own hard hitting LB, been thinking about one for a while.

Also can you maybe summerize the strengths and weaknesses of the player?
I guess he is good at hitting the runner at the line but how is he faring against the pass and how does he do against outside runs?

oh also, why haven't you got any equipment on?

I may summarize him at the end of the season with the strengths and weaknesses. Also, I did switch his tactics for power tackling before the scrimmage game, just forgot to update everybody on that.

As for the equipment, I had 3 in vision, but I removed that to get a feel for his "raw" skills, and will give him the Base EQ, Level 8 Upgrades and Custom EQ when I sign him to my team in Season 4

Okay, I lied. I had switched him to wrap up? Weird.

They have to be strong to get down the middle and through that center and guard. So he WOULD need high strength and agility.. atleast in real life that's what you need


It seems that strength is a lost trait amongst GLB linebackers, though. Let's see if this brings out the beast in Briggs haha


My MLB is a strength build, and he is a beast at rushing the QB when he wants to. Although it doesnt affect FFUMs as much as I would like

I feel that it allows him to come up the gut with a lot more ease. As I bumped up his strength, he took on blockers and beat them more often than not. However, I still plan on raising it past the soft cap, and increasing his agility, with a touch of speed. I'd like to eventually start increasing his D-General stat, but since it's so far down in the tree, I feel I should soft cap agility, and get speed to 35 before I should dump a bunch of points into it.

I just added EQ and Custom EQ to Briggs, bringing his strength up to 58.31, I believe

Wouldnt Monster Hit be a great SA for this?


Good luck with the rest of the experiment. I am interested in seeing what happens. I would love a reason to see LB's pore some pts into a stat besides speed..

And I also think your agility and strength should be closer together.

Agility in my opinion, is the single most important stat for a LB. You have to be able to quickly change directions to read a pass or run. 26 is far to low.

The agility is going to be the next stat I plan on soft capping. Monster hit is a definite possibility, as I was currently planning on beasting the D General SA

Sorry about the lack of updates recently. Grandmothers funeral. Sister being in town from Alaska, "friends" trying to fuck my GF behind my back (being the good gf she is, she kept me up to date on every little piece, without me even asking) and getting his ass rocked [StazNasty has his Left Hook SA at 9]. PLUS, I seem to be a virus magnet in the past few days. I got rid of the ones bugging my computer yesterday, but my friend downloaded some bullshit z7 file (thought it was music) and infected my computer again lol. Currently I'm putting along on IE.

I'm sorry to hear that man. Real life comes before any game. Keep working that stuff out and when you're good to go, come back and we will welcome you with wide open arms.
