Warrior General Games

I'm sick of my ROLB getting pancaked at the line. Last year he had 11 sacks. This year, he has none. He's been pancaked I'm guessing 40 times this season. I don't remember any last season ...

I'm thinking I want to re-allocate my equipment to boost his SPD and AGL. Coupled with "Quick" or "Jump the Snap" VAs, I'm hoping that will be enough to get him past the OL fast enough sometimes to cause havoc in the backfield.

Comments or counter-suggestions please.

With equipment on, his SPD is 90 and his AGL is 74.

Quick is worthless for the most part. 4.5% at 15 with your base agi at 64 means you'll have 2.88 attr point bump in agility. As a comparison, I have a level 36 LB who has more speed, agility and vision than your 54. And he's had more since he was a level 28.

You should be dumping everything into power tackler and going that route. If you want more speed and agility, put your SPs into it.

That's great, but my LB undoubtedly has greater STR, TKL, STA, CONF, JMP, and CTH than yours. This isn't "my LB is better than yours". I'm sure if I hadn't been slow building from the start, my LB would have had these VIS, SPD, and AGL levels at L 28 too. So, most of that first paragraph is useless to me.

Thanks, however, for the suggestion of power tackler. I already have 15 into that VP. Will greater SPD and AGL, through only SPs, help him? What about other VPs?

I was not trying to say my LB is better than yours. He's not. I was trying to point out that you need more speed agility and vision, not re-built equipment. Further, slowbuilding has nothing to do with it. IMO, regardless of how you build a level 54 Pass Rush LB should have those three triple capped at the very least.

As for other VAs that could help, there isn't much. Ball Hawk if you want him to be more of a coverage LB instead of pass rusher. I guess you could try Pass Rush, but I don't think it's worth much. If you like the attribute VAs, I'd start with 15 in Genius, as it's .5% per level allowing you to get a 7.5% bonus instead of just 4.5.

When Bort Nerfed attribute VAs last season I simply retired my old guys as they were no longer worth bothering with.

I hadn't thought about "Genius". Thanks for the pointer, Puma. And sorry for the misunderstanding.
