I'm slow building my LB and I have speed to the 68 cap, AGI to the 60 cap and Vision to the 60 cap. Now I'm beginning to work on STR and TCK. My question is how much tackling do you honestly need to be a sure tackler? I have 5 points saved up right now and another 5 on the way, plus boosts. STR is at 22 and TCK is at 22. All equip is in stamina for now. So all of these are raw totals.

I have enough points on the way to get TCK to the softcap if I so desire but is it really worth it? Honestly? Just wonder who out there has sure tackling LB's and what amount of tackling has worked for you?

Well - how much stamina do you have without the equipment boosts?

If you have the $$$$ real and fake then sell your equipment back and re-equip for speed/agility.

Then place enough skill points so that you have at least 30 in stamina...

whatever is left over - if there is any - boost strength and tackling. Imho, I'd boost strength a little bit more up front. It is responsible for not only power but it stimulates your tackling ability. Without it...you're as efficient as a scrawny guy with huge hands...the ball carrier will carry you down the field.

I hope this helps...some may disagree...but take from it what you will. Interesting way of building your LB, too.

I appreciate the response and I'm not saying this in a "jerk" manner at all. But that didn't really answer my question at all. I'm not asking for build advice as I'm pretty much set on how I'm building my LB. My gear is in stamina right now but it won't be forever. I'm just going to work on stamina last. By the time my guy is level 26-27 and his gear goes to speed he'll be pushing upwards near 86 in speed. Right now, stamina is not a priority.

My question is how much tackling does a LB truly need to not miss a lot of tackles? My guy misses about 1 in 4 tackles right now on Wrap Up with a 22 tackling. How high do I need to get that so he'll make tackles routinely? That's my only question.

Is 30 enough? 35? 40?

86 for speed? what was your agility again?

anyways, around 40 ish should be plenty if your gonna set it to wrapup

86 speed? Better have a shit load of agility or your momentum is gonna carry you into the sidelines. Let me know how it works out for you.

Did you guys even read his first post? 68 SPD, 60 AGI, 60 VIS right now. No equip.

If your next attribute focus is tackling - take it to 50

All I was saying is don't just focus on tackling by itself - i understand you are slow building this guy - but i would push more into strength as you build tackling.

Nobody is going to know how to answer your question correctly - knowing how much tackling you'll need is an unknown at this point in time. If you're pushing every other attribute to 60+ without equipment bonuses (for the time being) then by all means - build tackling to 60+ and let us all know how that works out for you. I can tell you it won't cripple your player, but nobody knows whether you'll gain more tackles and shorten yardage of your opponent or not compared to someone with those extra skill points displaced into another attribute.

Good Luck in your endeavors.

I've read that 30 tackling and 30 str have been good for some. Personally I'd like to get my guy to 30 tackling this season by training it and then 30 str next season with training. I have missed tackles this season but a lot of them were a lot higher lvl then my guy was. Anywho, as long as you aren't missing every tackle just train tackling until it takes too long to get a point and see how that does for you. Good luck and sounds like you have one hell of a build coming along!

I have 50+ tackling and 50+ strength and played on wrap up and still missed some tackles.

Strenght is important, You want to be able to bring guys down. What's the sense of having a huge amount of tackle skill but you keep getting trucked. Consider, tackling the form you use to bring down the RB. You need strenght to wrestle him to the ground.

It's like passing for a QB. Strenght determins how far you can throw it and passing determines if how tight a spiral the ball.

Go for the first softcap. But to awnser the question directly imho you need about 42.

+1 on the advice and +1 on the complement to your build.
