What's the deal with Tunnel Vision? Anyone think it's better to put points into it rather than First Step? I seem to be getting past blockers pretty well, but I'm just not getting to the QB in time - wondering if taking T.V. up to 6-7 might be the answer to my problems. (Or should I just bring up Speed?)

I'm wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone with more insight (like the guy who created Lawrence Jackson) will give us a clue

The problem as I understand it about answering questions like this is a players build affects how often the SA's which have to get triggered occur and of course the builds of their competition and an amount of random luck. Bort isn't going to reveal the formula used to determine the coding behind any triggered SA and he shouldn't.

How fast is your DE?

I'm not an expert or anything, have had moderate success in a fairly weak league but TV is the best pass rushing DE special ability imo.

shed block is the best.

That's what everyone tells me, but that has not been my experience at all.

Gotta get shed block to 6 or higher to really notice a difference.

Mine is currently only at 4 but I have 2 friends with DEs at 7 and 9. They're both slightly higher level and in slightly more competitive leagues, but neither has nearly as much production as me. Maybe both me and them are built incorrectly to properly take advantage of it? Does it rely on a particular attribute?

My DE's Speed is right around the soft cap mark, but he has high Agility and Vision, which is why I'm thinking T.V. might be the best choice for his build.

For miked33, what exactly have you noticed with T.V.? Do you see it activating (is it even something you can see?) or do you just think that overall you perform better than your friends who've put more into Shed Block?

My speed isn't even at the soft cap.

Do you have a fair amount invested in any of those S/A's or just mass strength/Agili?

This is all speculation, but it seems to me that when TV works, it makes your guy run around the OT, rather than straight for him. Again, I have nothing to back this up besides the fact that my guy started doing this much much more frequently when I bumped TV way up.

I also have been much more effective since I've begun focusing on it rather than shed block. There's a lot of factors that could have influenced that as well, but to me TV is the best SA until proven otherwise by someone with better production than my guy.

My tackle who is pretty good had his hands full againt your DE and he is 3 levels higher. I'd listen to this guy. TV it is.
