Warrior General Games

I'm retiring both of my DEs at the end of this season - I'm not going to take this anymore. The fact that Hazy tested a 30+ differential in the main attributes and 10's across the board in specials and it resulted in essentially no sacks for an entire season worth or plays and Bort did nothing is a joke.

Sometimes as a consumer you have to let your money do the talking for you.

Both of my builds are open on their farewell tour...

RIP Freebear Turner- you were fun when you could get sacks, now you suck, and from everything I've seen I could move your equipment around in a hundred different ways and it wouldn't matter - we'll always remember season 7

RIP Luggs Slug - an unfortunate casualty of the DE debacle, you were just a measly special teams player, even the innocents must suffer. You had so much potential - we'll never get to see you play with First Step and Change Direction pumped up

AE adds a 14% chance to break block on top of that.

Thinking about it, yeah I understand his vision is only 40 but how in the hell does that build only get 5 tackles, no sacks, and 1 hurry?

Jumping is 8. He has virtually no tackle radius. I'm not saying that's the whole reason, but it's certainly a factor.

maybe someone can tell me where I went wrong with this build

I see plenty of DEs that are figuring stuff out. They just don't share what they're doing that seems to work. The DE my LT went up against got a sack, a hurry, and knocked down a pass at the line. But a lot of you would say that he hasn't produced.

Psychoman, speed, agility, and strength are all pretty low...

You can't slow build a player and then decide he won't work before you start putting points into SAs..

ok ...

aside from about 5-8 in tackling, and SAs which i probably invested too heavy in early on (glare & shed block), i haven't placed any SPs anywhere except speed/agility/strength. everything else was trained. in other words, for a DT, everything except speed/agility/strength needs to be completely neglected ... i find that very annoying and dumb.

Sorry, but "figuring it out" it doesn't just mean get 1 sack against equal competition per game. But it's stupid to have DEs limited against gutted OTs because Bort likes to see the total number of sacks to be "realistic". It may the DL positions pretty much pointless - pointless not in the way that they can't control the line of scrimmage against equal competition, but pointless that they can't even control the line of scrimmage against gutted teams.

Thread dead, move successful.

They do control the LoS against gutted teams. Most of you guys are simply whining about not getting 20 sacks against gut jobs. Whatever. Tough.

What does jumping have to do with breaking a block, or getting around the blocker? I understand on tackling, but if he doesnt even get in place for a tackle how does jumping factor in?

I think the biggest factor is that it doesn't look like you cap-built him, which is costing you big . . .

Great so with the new changes, now no matter how good your OT is, you're going to give up 2 sacks a game. That's what I hate about this game.

That's inaccurate. At the end of the day it still comes down to builds and game planning. We shouldn't expect bad builds to get any better. Good builds should start producing a bit more though. Once that happens it'll be more clear what builds are missing.

i got him to the first caps on str & agility right away ... then left & came back to get them to the 2nd caps ... so i did it, but yeh i did it slower than i should have
