Post your thoughts and opinions on what it takes to be a GREAT MLB in the GLB American Football MMORPG today! All suggestions are appreciated and all player examples are even better. Now let's see what everyone thinks!

Well, seeing as LOLB is the most important LB position, I'd basically want my MLB to be like the lite version of the LOLB, but with a ton of points in Defensive General.

yea Defensive General and Aura of Intimidation try and make your defense really good

Personally, I think that the MLB needs to be the guy on defense that helps out everyone else. And as you guys both said, Defensive General VASTLY helps out the secondary. There's been a very bias opinion on this, but do people think that the MLB needs to be the best LB on the team? I mean, he is in the middle of everything.. he needs to be able to blitz, tackle, cover, run well, hit hard, and force fumbles. Yes most plays go to the LOLB, but I think the MLB needs to have the best vision as well as the best speed to make the tackles sideline to sideline. Opinions on this? Agree or Disagree?

^ haven't decided. Ask me in an hour and I'll have changed y mind.

MLB - Best LB
* Help the outside guys
* Need to be strong up the middle
* Blitz
* Pass cover in nickle/dime

MLB - Worst LB
* Power backs are out of fashion, so a MLB won't see many scat backs running up the middle.
* Even if that happens, the MLB has help from both outside LBs and the SS.
* GLB just doesn't have many big plays down the middle. Most of them are to the outside.

ROLB - Worst LB
* Fewest plays run this way.
* Can get support from CB, FS, SS and MLB. Plus if you have a speed RDE they can assist as well.

So...I really have no idea

good vision for a MLB your like the QB of the defense

With season 3's new tactics coming soon, it wouldn't surprise me if it changes everything we know about LB play in GLB. We'll probably have the ability to decide how often we run to the right/middle/left, which will mean that most running plays won't be going to the right side (LOLB) any more unless that's where the tactics set.

so honestly, I don't think this discussin is worth having until we hear about the new tactics.

With how fast ROLBs are getting, if they have enough vision... I think they can take the role of being able to make plays from sideline to sideline. I've seen my guy go all the way across the field to make TFLs before. I'd prefer for my MLB to be good enough to not get beat, and then beef up on skills that'll make him a better playmaker. i.e. strength for tackles. That combined with high leveled aura's would be a pretty ideal MLB for me with the way the game is set up right now.

I'm in the middle of a MLB build. What would you rank as the two highest skills to put points into? I would say Speed and agility.

I don't think you can categorize LBs into two attributes. Speed, Vision, and Strength should be high for MLBs though if I had to break it down into 3.

Speed and agility imo.

My LB is currently lvl 17 and I've gone with STR/TKL->Vision->AGI/Speed

On top of that, I've got 6 in defensive general with the skill boost. I dunno what the exact effect of the skill is, but our secondary is almost unstoppable. We had loads of INT's and PD's last season and allowing next to no-yard through the air compared to other teams..

I'll agree with people saying the MLB = Defensive QB. Just take a look at players like Brian Urlacher. Some of the bears players put it this way: "The defense without Brian is like a car with gas. You need your Defensive Captain to get things working". That says it all tbh

For a MLB that's a pretty solid build, I'd still put more in SPD though and not that much in STR or TCKL due to the fact that these qualities can be upgraded through your tactics (Wrap up Ball carrier & Hard Hit/Force more Fumbles)

Defensive General gives a boost to players around you.. mainly your secondary. Which is why at lvl 6, this skill for you and your team has been EXTREMELY effective. When you get Special Abilities to around that 6-8 mark that's where they become ABSOLUTELY detremental.. That's just from what I hear though.

But you also have teams who don't have an ELITE MLB who do just fine. New England and Indianapolis. You need your top tier athlete, and best player to perform to keep the team going..

Any more opinions on how to build a good MLB?

they rush alot so probabally agility could be another good ability to keep high slip right through the line
