Warrior General Games

I have a pretty well built SS IMO but had a couple missed takles in the last game which is not very condusive to my build. I dont really want to give away my build so I just wanted some opinions here as to what your strength may be, have you noticed any better abilities like breaking blocks or making tackles with higher strength?

My strength is just a few points lower than my tackling, both of which are above 30.

What say you?

view this thread. Same question as yours.

Not really man... I have only missed 3 tackles all season and am not too worried about it... I was looking for insight on players with higher or lower strength and the benefits to having it higher or not...

That thread was more of a question on why you were missing tackles.

The WR blocking seems to be very good even though they have lower strength, another reason why I was asking...

i don't think that strength has a whole lot to do with tackling. i've noticed that my FS is forcing more fumbles this year as i increase his tackling, so how hard our safetys hit seems to have more to do with tackling than strength. i don't know ur build but i suggest having high tackling and agility. not every juke is going to be easy to spot on the sim, but if a RB is making u miss he probably has higher agility and ur just catching his leg and he's breaking that.

Its the exact same issue, Missing tackles, strength has less to do with tackling than it had last season. Strength allows you to break through blockers. Most WR if at a lower level than you, will have less strength. There should be no reason they are able to block your SS. Now if they are at the same level or higher and have the same strength or near it, they could most likely block you.

The question would involve the same answer;what allows an SS to get the tackle. Is it STR,TAK, vision, etc.

I have pretty high agility. Knowing that it was going to be more important this season I really worked on it. Your input is exactly what I was looking for... I wanted more of a testimonial to who has tried it or noticed a difference.

Strength might have more to do with breaking a block and I guarantee you a WR is not going to have over 35 strength unless they are really lacking elsewhere even at high levels.

Any more testimonials? I want to hear from anyone that want's to divulge their findings!

Well, to be honest, pumping more strength into my SS, has not at all changed the amount of fumbles he forces. So, in essence, i can say along the lines of that1guy was saying, strength is more for breaking blocks than making better tackles/forcing fumbles.

Don't bring your guy into established pro leagues. You'll be very upset with your findings of what other players have. The standard on my pro team (and many others) is 30 strength, even from the speed guys. Other guys (possession guys), have much more. And don't even start to talk about the TEs.

Just FYI.

Our league is what I stated, not at higher levels of strength for WR's yet. In my league if a WR has over 35 strength they must really be lacking in some other category like speed, agility or catching.

Don't come and start any arguments here, this is just to post findings on SS strength and how it affects your player.

To determine how much STR affects an SS during the game, you would have to watch each play and see which opponents are blocking the SS.

I agree with mogs. In our last game, in a goalline situation, the SS had to take on the TE to get to an outside pitch to "his" side. He couldn't break the block.
