Warrior General Games

lb is the postion i know the least about on this game so i was hopin we could get big lb talk goin here. wut are the msot effective SAs? are they really that important to LBs? better for one LB position than the other?

Monster hit is pretty solid for any LB that makes a lot of tackles, particularly against the running back. The hits can add up to a fairly significant morale loss. Defensive General can help, depending on the team. It gives a morale and stamina boost, which may be great or may be useless. Swat ball gives a nice little bonus to pass deflection, it's crucial for a coverage LB to get at least 2 in this SA at some point down the road (perhaps after agility and speed are over 70 and vision is over 60). Bort claims diving tackle is powerful, but I've never seen any evidence that it is. I don't believe that it works the way he intended it to. Shed blocks can give a bit of an edge to defeating blocks, but I don't think I'd load up on it.

I recall with my old LB getting a ton of diving tackles back in the day. But that was a while ago and my memory could be a little off. It requires lots of agility and jumping to be truly effective though.

I personally love Swat Ball and Shed Blocks. If you are going to be blitzing the Shed Blocks does help.

And people say linebacker s.a's are useless.

Monster hit is big, I've found that between my 2 LBs of nearly exact builds, the one with 6 in shed block preforms a lot better on a consistant basis. If you play MLB/ILB, D General will help just about any team. As to diving tackle, last season my guys got a ton of them, but it seems like I didn't see nearly as many this season. Both of them did a lot better overall this season too so I don't know if they were in better position to make the tackles this season or what.

I have 6 in Monster Hit & 7 in Shed Blocks & only put the require amount of points into other SAs to up those two.

Diving tackle works but it works better if your jumping is up.

diving tackle has worked less for me, the higher I've gotten my LB's jumping..
