Forum > Position Talk > LB Club > Vet Abilities for Blitz ROLB---- AFTER Track Star and Quick are maxed?

My LB plays exclusively in the ROLB in a 3-4 and is blitzed most the time he is on the field.
I already maxed out Track Star and Quick, but torn what to do for my 3rd.

I dont really like the idea of fearsome just yet and dont trust Clutch or Mr. Third Down.. What do you guys think I should do?

Personally, I am debating about either Football Genius or Streaky. If the latter, then I would save up till I had at least 10 before spent on Streaky. The problem is, my LB has been around since Season 1 so I have to start thinking about retirement

How important is Vision to a Blitzing LB? If very important, I have my answer.

Thoughts?

BTW, I have 110+ speed, 80+ agility and 60+ Vision (after equipment + Vets)..

I have a similar LBer....I'm not sure which way I'll go with him...probably fearsome or genius...

Are your attributes with VAs or w/o?

With.

Not sure it would be possible to get those that high without completely neglecting all other attributes (confidence, stamina, strength, tkl) not to mention SA's.

I wish there was a break block or blitzing VET... I just dont really trust Fearsome....

Likewise....if it helps, my LBer has 65 vision...and I'm not sure it helped his blitzing...if it has, I sure haven't been able to spot it...I would think that I would have been able to see it, since I've been putting all skill points there for the past quite a few levels...(however many it takes to get to 65 from ~50)....

Like you, I'm not sure what I'll do next when I max track star & quick...

What about the jumping one? Sounds funny, I know, but diving tackles is what I was thinking.

I know it's questionable. I was hoping it would allow for more sacks so I can dive further at the QB?

Get your stamina up and max workhorse instead.

If you're blitzing all the time, it's going to be more beneficial to be at the top of your game each play. You can offset the gain lost in whatever extra VA ability by playing more effectively on Hard.

Any other ideas? Id rather not do stamina, for one I am the ROLB and am the first LB taken out when going to the nickel defense (unless 3-3-5), so I usually end the game with good stamina as is...

Would HeavyWeight do anything useful?

Now I have 2 Vet pts saved up and no idea what to use them on... I really dont see Vision helping all that much..

HeavyWeight or Fearsome...

you could maybe look at one of the situational things or maybe streaky after you save up a couple.

Wow, this this this. I can't tell you enough how much it sucks watching your LB get blocked and getting slower and slower.

Either that, or I would pump Confidence and stick points into Swagger or whatever raises it.
