I need some opinions on why I keep missing tackles.
Str:30.8
Tac:40.83
Hard Hitter tree: 2-1-1-1-1

I have 12 miss tackles already this season. I had 8 total for all of my first three seasons. Im wondering if I should add more to my hard hitter tree or add more into tackling. We have faced a few high level running backs that caused me to have a few more miss tackles on those games. I always play on wrap up tackling as well.

Thanks
Mogs.

really you have to to through each missed tackle and determine whether or not you missed it cause it was a diving (looks far away), an elusive RB (work on agility then), or a power RB plowing into you (more strength). if you play on wrap up i don't really know what else to say other than the standard "work on strength, tackling, wrap up blah blah blah"

edit: also i just thought, if you haven't boosted yet but some RBs have, that can affect it and will most likely be solved once you boost

Agility? Confidence?

agility is 40, con is at 21.

Dunno man.
With those kinda numbers, you shouldn't be missing as many as you are.

whatever you do though, putting more SAs in the wrap up should help. Although i have 41 tackling and only 2 in the wrap up SA and have only missed 2 tackles on power tackling.
My strength is 39 though. Maybe put a little into that.

The entire team is having issues with missed tackles this season. We had 30 total in one game. Im debating on whether to spend my next points into wrap up and diving tackle or put them all into tackling.

I'd try bringing strength up closer to your tackling first.

How about vision? If you are missing tackles on an elusive RB, or on WR's, I would bet it is vision that is the cause. If you read the descriptions of the various SA's like juke, head fake, etc., they explicitly say they are more effective against defenders with low vision.

Confidence becomes important for making tackles too, especially if you play on a losing team (which means your morale is likely well under 100 even before a game begins), or if you miss a tackle or two early in the game (which, if you have low confidence, will just make your tackling even worse for the rest of that game, starting a wicked spiral downwards...much in the same way that happens if a QB with low confidence throws a couple of interceptions early in a game).

Otherwise, just keep putting points in the tackling stat and in your wrap-up tackling SA. Not much else you can do.

Most miss tackles werent in the open field but after a catch or after the RB broke through the line.

I was going to put points into super vision, would that help as well?

Confidence needs to hit 30

Get agility to the soft cap.
Agility/Vision help with tackling.
I have less strength/tackling than you but I miss less tackles. And I have a lot more agility.
We'll see if I miss any tackles this next game since I am up against a power back.

Untrue. FS/SS SA's don't need "activation" like other positions. Ours just augment our attributes. 20-ish confidence has been enough for me since level 12.

If agility and vision help with tackling, Im gonna max these puppies out!!!

I think sometimes, when I watch replay, that players with "poor" agility just dont have a proper angel to make a (good) tackle. By that, I too, sometimes think, that agility helps tackling. Just a opinion without proof though.

A couple of WR and RB SAs say they are affective against players with low agility and vision. So both of those equate into tackling.

Funny part is, I may have more miss tackles this season but I have 4 forced fumbles. I've only had 3 total in the past 3 other seasons. Nothing is making sense
