Alright, I need some build help and I would like to know where people think I should add attributes to. I blitz quite a bit, and I'm rarely ever in coverage. I'm trying to just build an all around solid build. Rasheed Daemon can do it all as a LB, but I would like some suggestions on where to go to from here.

Attributes
Strength ..... 60
Speed ..... 70
Agility ..... 70
Jumping ..... 35
Stamina ..... 50
Vision ..... 60
Confidence ..... 35
Tackling ..... 52
Catching ..... 30

Special Abilities
Hard Hitter Tree ..... 3 4 3 5 3
Pass Rushing Tree ..... 3 3 5 0 0

Veteran Abilities
Quick ..... 2
Swagger ..... 1
Track Star ..... 1
Workout Warrior ..... 1
Textbook Tackler ..... 1
Football Genius ..... 1
Power Tackler ..... 15

The only thing I plan on doing is getting all my Veteran Abilities to 5, and then just pump a ton of points into the VA that gives a boost to DGeneral. From an attribute standpoint, I'm not really sure where to go from here. I'm thinking of continuing to pump points into my 4 core attributes (SPD, STR, AGI, VIS) from here on out in an even fashion. Not too sure though, would like some help and suggestions. Thanks.

I'm assuming you're training jumping/catching, so no need for points there. Are you going to be primarily a blitzer or be in coverage? You say your LB blitzes quite a bit and is never in coverage, but your build doesn't quite match up with it. With 15 in Power Tackler, you want that skill to fire as much as possible, so going a blitzing route won't be as beneficial. Also, you're thinking of boosting your 4 core attributes, but later on you want to invest in the VA that boost D-Gen. My suggestion would be to pick a route and go gung-ho; otherwise you might be spreading yourself too thin. I realize that you want a solid all-around build, but I think it's best to build in the direction that your team is using you, to emphasize your strengths versus covering your weaknesses.

Blitzing route: Push agility to 4:1 cap, then invest the rest of your points into Shed Block until it hits 9 (11 if you're hardcore). After that, pump speed to 4:1 cap. For VA's, max out Quick to 15 before touching anything else. If you're going to be blitzing constantly, your LB needs to be as slippery as possible and breaking blocks ASAP.

Balanced/Coverage: To utilize Power Tackler more, push speed/agility to 4:1 caps, then invest the rest into taking Aura (first) and Monster Hit (second) to at least level 9. For VA's, push Track Star then Quick to 15 before anything else. With this route, you're going for volume tackles to try and activate Power Tackler as much as possible. Aura will help in lowering morale for everyone around you (making forced fumbles easier), plus it has the added benefit of making forced fumbles easier for your teammates as well (provided you're in the vicinity). The emphasis on speed/agility will make sure you are at least near every play, if not actually making the tackle.

Just my opinion; hope this helps.

So you'd just suggest adding more SPD?

you are dumb. This guy can blitz...to be a true inside linebacker you need to get your vision up... imo. if i were you i wouldnt have spent that much on different VA's. Get sure tackler. In my opinion you would dominate with your MLB if you had Vision
VA's but you dont so just get HH SAs like monster hit and move from wrap up

Zsirv, please don't get Sure Tackler. You have a 20:1 tackle:missed tackle ratio, so there is no reason to improve your tackling. That skill would only fire a few times all season.

So do you guys think getting VIS up to 65 and AGI up to 75 would be my best bet?

With or without eq? For the numbers in the first post I assumed those were with equipment. Having speed/agility at a natural 70 means both are near 5:1 cap level, and that's just obscene, haha.

Yes, those are with equipment. Haha. But I think I'm gonna get AGI up to 75 with equipment first, and then VIS to 65.

I'm glad to see that Bort is adding 'Monster Hit' to the pbp this yea. That way we'll know when we blow up a HB.

I'd personally just crank up speed and shed block

Softcap confidence too, it helps in all areas.
