I think I have a good build, but I see less action than the rest of my teammates when it comes to tackles. I rarely had more tackles than the MLB and LOLB on my team.

Is there something I'm missing? I haven't boosted at all on my SA tree. But obviously I'm going to up the pass rushing tree.

Any advice on later levels? What should I train on? I need to get my stamina up, but I just sold back all my old equipment to boost speed.

I also feel like I should boost confidence, but I don't know that it would make a difference until I start adding to the SA tree. For the time being, I'm training Tackling until the new season starts when I will decide whether to keep training tackling or start adding to confidence or stamina.

Advice on my current build? Is it a good one? I don't feel like my performance in game is anything to frown at, but it definitely isn't where I want it to be compared to the other LBs I play along side.

as the ROLB you won't see as many tackles nomatter what. I think you have a pretty good build. keep doing what your doing

You look good, I'd say get vision to the soft cap... I saw a big difference in how many plays I got in on when my guys vision (reaction time) was at the soft-cap

I'd say with my recent experiment on my own LB, that CONF is a big big factor in making plays happen. Also, pump up that VIS a good bit. He has great physical ability to get to the play, just work on his reaction time now though. Very good build though. Get that TCKL up before the nerf to "wrap up" though.

Are you getting enough plays per game? Your Stamina seems a little low for your level. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.

I had around 31 stamina before I sold my special equipment back to boost speed 6 extra points. That was with 4 or so games left in the season. My team was splitting plays so that everyone got a chance to get 20-30 plays a game.

It's lonely as a ROLB for sure. Games are hit and miss. The games the other team throws to the HB, or more runs than normal go to the offensive left, that's when I get to shine. Hopefully one day when Offenses can call run Right/left/middle, there will be more action there. If you watch replays, it's just where the ball is going that determines your tackles etc, more than how good you are. Because I know my LB is pretty damn good , and your build is pretty simmilar to mine.

Yea man you're on the right track. Cap agility/vision, and i suggest training on confidence every day. As an ROLB, you're gonna need the confidence to demoralize the QB

I'm thinking that perhaps to keep things balanced while I build this season...I should place the next 3 levels as follows.

10 to Confidence
5 to Vision
Train Jumping
I figure I'll get 3-4 levels this season...

Then for my 3 boosts, finish getting speed/vision to the cap and start throwing points into SAs?

Good idea/bad idea?

What is everyone's thinking on selling equipment to boost not only speed, but agility as well?

Lets say I've got 18 skill points added to speed right now with 3 points left before I soft cap speed.

Wouldn't it be wise at this point to re-distribute some equipment points to help boost agility?

If I can have speed and agility both around 58-60, wouldn't that be the ideal build at this point? Boosting speed isn't as necessary as it was last season.

The problem with this - you are spending an extra 25k....with level 24 coming up - 200k is going to be hard to get as it is...especially with teams trying to expand their stadiums right now...

Based on the price of equipment? or based on the idea of taking from speed to add to agility?

As it stands now, I could start adding to agility with equipment from here on out to balance it out and leave speed alone for the time being - especially since the quickest I'll need to be at short distances is reliant on agility now.

I spent the second half of season 3 and the off season doing just that. Re distributing my EPs to speed and agility. I actually had to take away from my Stamina to do it. We rotate alot also so it shouldnt be that bad. My build is not as good as yours but I did see alittle improvement in the last scrimage. I got my agility to the soft cap so I'm gonna work vision next also while training Confidence.

I did that already once...I sold my special equipment to add those 6 points to speed and take them away from stamina.

As it stands, I'm soft capped at 48+ on speed/agility/vision right now.
I've boosted some on confidence and tackling here too.

So I haven't done anything to boost stamina up besides boosting 3 levels.

Stamina isn't an issue, though, there is a lot of depth at my position on my team.

I think I'm in good shape right now.

I'm going to train confidence until it's close to 30 and use leveling to boost tackling and strength.

I want to sack the fuck out of QBs and force as many fumbles as possible when I'm running after the RB/FB on the opposite side of the field.
