The best mlbs i have seen have really high vision, at least softcapped tackling and strength. Speed=agility.

don't listen to tackling/strength advice. Train them for now and work on them later, until then cap speed/agility ASAP. Vision is key for MLBs from what I've seen, but don't ask me I only built an OLB so I'm not positive. But I DO know you need to cap speed/agility ASAP or you'll be pretty much useless.

1. cap speed
2. cap agility
3. cap vision
4. the rest is up for debate. There may even be some debate about 3., but I'd disagree :-)

I'm running an anti-this experiment in the PeeWees (with a DT, but its the same in theory). Hopefully it'll quiet these guys down.

This LB is able to inspire the defense to perform better. The Defense General skill only applies if the LB is in the MLB or an ILB spot. It gives the entire secondary a boost to morale and stamina right before the snap. This skill is very important for LBs who will play the MLB spot. It makes all the defenders around him better. Additional Levels: Increases the chance of the skill working, and the strength of the morale and stamina boost.
Don't see anywhere about it requiring confidence any more than it requires stamina.

I did. And it tells me nothing as pottsman pointed out. Funny thing is, you're preaching to the choir. I've long been on record on this forum as an advocate for Defense General, but nowhere have I seen (and trust me, I've looked) that it's been confirmed that Confidence definitively improves it's performance.

And you probably won't find anything concrete. The game is intended to be this way.

Again preaching to the choir. I'm definitely in the minority in that I DON'T want Bort to reveal all the formulae of the game, but you're just contradicting yourself at this point. First you say confidence is "key" for D-Gen, then you say there's no proof out there. I have my own conclusions about confidence and it's relationship to D-Gen, but nowhere on these forums will you ever see me definitively claim something that cannot be proven. There's too many people out there spreading false information, or at the very least highly inconclusive. If they are spreading that information, they should define it as such in order to let people come to their own conclusions.

Sorry if I'm coming off preachy, but I'm all for furthering valid discussion on the mechanics of the game.... I want people to challenge my own opinions because it helps me understand the game better. I was hoping you DID have some kind of "proof."
