So does anyone know from experience how useful this SA is? Is it more like a stand alone ability or does it require respective values in tackling/jumping/whatever other stats in order to see real potential? Would I be better off just training tackling/jumping/whatever else instead of investing in this SA burried 3 deep in its respective tree.

Thanks in advance.

My LB makes alot of diving tackles but I couldn't tell you if it was do to the SA points, his base skills, both, or none at all. If your LB doesn't make any diving tackles or very few, then yes their is potential for more. My best guess would be you need both the SA and decent jumping & tackling skills.

I think the Diving Tackle SA both increases your range on your diving tackle, and make it so you're less likely to miss a diving tackle. Since so many of the missed tackles from this season are diving tackles, I'd definately say it's worth investing a few points into. I also think that having high jumping helps a lot as a LB. It'll both help you get a lot more deflections in coverage, and it'll give you better range in general.

I've got a 3 in diving tackle and 2 in Swat Ball. I'd like to have all those SA points back but oh well. In any case, I did notice a bump in pass deflections and diving tackles once I got my jumping over 25. Hard to say how much of a correlation there is thought between them all.

I can say hands down that the diving tackle SA works, big time.

I noticed an appreciable difference in diving tackles with just the first 2 points. My jumping has always been crap until very lately.

I'm thinking about adding two more points into it next season, but I am indeed wondering how much it would actually help. Common sense would say it increases your ability to execute one. Still, am going to wait until maybe late next season before I try it.

I gained alot in my diving tackles and pass deflections since training my jumping over 20. I havent spent anything on the diving SA.

My advice is to train jumping while spending you hard earned SP's into more important Atts until they are all over the cap.
