Not sure what VAs to pick up for my LB now that the attribute ones are nerfed. My guy backs up at both LOLB and ROLB... I'm very intrigued by Brick Wall, if it actually works... what VAs are going to be actually useful now?

I'm leaning towards Brick Wall and I've heard it does work. I think I'm going to fill it up and then go with an attribute bonus.

I think they all suck for a coverage/run stopping LB. I'll probably stick with attributes, coverage LBs need all the speed and agility they can get.

i agree, but .3% is so low, that its not even worth putting points into it anymore. I'm gonna look at other VA now, like power tackler and maybe clutch. VA's that might have a significant impact, and not give you only 2 extra points in speed and agility.

I'm having a tough time picking this with my blitzing ROLB. Brick Wall isn't really what blitzing is about, and Pass Rusher should help withblitzing, but it only triggers on 3rd and 4th down passing plays, which isn't very often, so I just don't know if it's worth it...

bort said jump the snap seems to be working well

Brick Wall and Helmet crash for MLB (the having higher strength requirement was removed making it hugely more useful).

Probably brick wall and jackhammer for LOLB.

ROLB depends on how they use you.

Did you guys notice that the intimidation VA now includes the Aura of Intimidation SA?

Those two cranked up pretty high could make for an effictive combo.

I'm going to try pass rusher.

Jump the snap might be good as well... but hey, 3rd and 4th down are IMPORTANT. and that's a big boost!

for coverage LB's what about Ball Hawk? The +30% bonus might be pretty solid

The description for Jump the Snap implies you must be playing on the line. I wish i knew for sure as I'd probably try it out.

I found an AE that has Aura of Intimidation so I might invest in the Intimidation VA and Helmet Crash, could make a LB into a Moral slashing beast.

Probably pick up Brick Wall too, or maybe Heavyweight.

Does Heavyweight benefit break block percent or just help you knock the guy down AFTER you broke the block already? Seems kinda pointless if that's the case, you just broke past him!

Is fearsome any good for a blitzing LB ?

Does "on the line" mean on the line of scrimmage or playing dt/de?
