Warrior General Games

I went ahead and did what most others have had to do in this game and adapt to what's working, which meant putting more speed and agility in my DE combined with shed block and tunnel vision. My build has ended up as such:

Strength: 55
Speed: 73
Agility: 52
Jump: 20
Stamina: 39
Vision: 36
Confidence:39
Blocking: 23
Tackling: 33

Only SA's in the pass-rush tree:
54791

First scrimmage game with this new build and.....nothing. Completely held in check. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong? I do intend to get his vision higher as well as the agility.....but other than that I'm through with dumping SP in the ability trees. Every piece of advice I got last season, literally, was "more tunnel vision and speed to 70 at least". I still have 4 equipment points to add to my speed gear, but I don't think that's going to magically whip up some decent pocket pressure.

Any and all help appreciated.

Come on dude. 1 game and the sky is falling? Not to mention your agility is low for a level 31 pass rusher

The advice you got was wrong . If agility and speed were switched around you'd see results

Well, he's been awful his whole career. And the speed advice was gleaned from a fella who had results.

And the agility is low because the strength is higher than it's (apparently) supposed to be for a pass rusher. So that's on catch-up. I'd be open to switching the gear to agility.....but it's gotten to the point where swapping gear so much isn't something that the team I'm on wishes to fund.

I think it's just a combination of speed and agility being relatively low compared to others at your level. For example, miked has over 90 speed and over 70 agility.

where is your gear?

Are you going for this build? Because I'd get your speed to at least 80. My level 25 DE has 80 speed already. Are you set on evasive pass rushing? I'm also seeing a lot in your replays that you don't start, and when you get in most of the time they're running the ball or your team is blitzing so there's not really any telling if you would have had something or not.

Yeah, I know about miked's build. My guy is far too strong to get to that point now. Strength and bull-rushing hasn't worked for other guys I know, so I held off pushing strength higher when I got to the point he's at now.

Gear is all in speed. With 2 points unpurchased for level 24 upgrades.

I intended on getting agility to natural 60, with the gear remaining in speed. Perhaps I'll flip that.

But at this point I'm thinking it's a lost cause and builds like mine don't fit in anywhere in GLB.

your builds fits fine as a LDE

I've thought about moving to that side. Our fella that's in that spot now is probably better suited for it than my guy, especially considering the amount of SA investment. Might try it during the next scrimmage. If this thread doesn't get buried I'll try and update it.

I played LDE with a similar build to yours. 17 sacks last season.

Hmm, well then you give me hope yet, sir

You don't have either agility or speed up high enough to get sacks considering your level. Both should be high, but by your highest should be over 80 and possibly approaching 90.

I wouldn't listen to him. I'm level 30 with less than 80 speed and agility and my stats are considerably better.

That doesn't work well in higher up leagues.
