Anyone seen success with it? I'm considering getting Jumping above 40 and trying it out with either another deflect ball VA. Maybe Long Reach or 3rd Down Stopper?

Anyone try it?

Well u could use it with Long reach but 3rd down stopper would be a waste due to the new cap on bonus % stacking and towering man maxed is 75%.

I think you'd be better off using VAs that might help you get the positioning to actually have a chance to deflect. That's what I'm doing for my towering man DT.

I had some success with it with an old DT where I added it at the end of his playing days, and am starting to now with two DTs im building that way now. It seemed to really start working when i got his jumping in the 50's, having defelct ball % AEQ seems to help too

i got jumping around 60 with an old DT and he deflected a ton of passes. that was before the towering man VA. i'm working on a 6'8" NT that i'm gonna try it on.

this is my retired DT.

I will continue to contend that Towering Man will only work if you have 8 d-linemen all 6-8 with 15 Towering Man.
Outside of that... it's tough to really utilize it well.

I would be willing to bet that you would have about the same interception results with 8 catching

The thing is he's getting 1 or 2 a game against fairly equal competition. A PD for a DT in this game is similar to a sack so one or 2 a game is good in my book especially since DT's have a tough time getting sacks in this sim.

agree 100%, its an added dimension that you would never be able to get otherwise. Would be interested on what you have found effective and I would do the same. PM me if interested in sharing builds
