Why is my SS missing so many tackles this year? I have him on wrap up and he is over 50 in strength and tackling (and he didn't miss many last year). Should I get Strength and Tackling to 60? Which one first? Is Confidence an issue?

Powerbacks.

Noone knows for sure what is needed to stop them, but 60/60 won't be enough (maybe 70/70 will cut it down to a few broken tackles a game?). Maybe VAs can help.

get str in 70s

Honestly, I think that strength and tackling are the last of your issues. You're missing more tackles than you should, but some of your problem might be low agility and vision.

If you actually get your strength and tackling into the 70s, your build will suck--you will be too slow and immobile to even be relevent in pass coverage, and elusive backs will run circles around you.

but it is possible to get one to 70 and still have a good build. i chose str. since I just missed 2 tackles on wrap up against a power back it was probably the wrong choice. But I like str more than tackling, since it does so much more than tackling does.

I also like strength more than tackling (helps with PDs, etc . . )--if he wanted to go your route he probably could.

However, I'm guessing your guy also has 90+ speed and high agility. I don't think raising strength into the 70s would be worth it SP-wise at this point for this build.

oh lord he is level 50. i didn't even notice that. you're right he needs speed bad.

FYI-if you didn't see. I am maxed out in Vet Points with Speed/Agility.
I am about to upgrade EQ--should I go speed, agility or vision?

morale might be an issue as well, I've never seen it that low, but it could be raised back up with a few "nights on the town."


spd for the equipment

I agree--speed for the EQ. Your build is pretty good--I'm not sure why you're missing so many tackles but I still think speed is a good choice.

I am suspecting confidence needs to be higher. So I am training that aggressively.

You could get by on 50/50 with just a couple misses last year, from the get go it wasnt cutting it this year for the level 50s.. I'm working my LBs to 60/60 and they're now performing better. Seems like either the power backs took it up a notch, or Bort made some changes as usual.
