Does it exist?

My HB has two stars in it. I've focused on putting most points into Sprinting, Intimidation, Power Running, and Carry Awareness. I've also brought up Toughness, Carry Grip, Conditioning, and Heart.

I've watched nearly many of my replays and through two seasons and countless Pickup Games, I have not seen it fire even once. In fact, 99.5% of the time, I'm brought down on the first tackle.

Is this an SA that anyone else is investing in and having success?

You need balance to stay upright. Probably why you haven't seen the sa fire because you are so easy to take down.

Balance is not my lowest trait, but not even have this thing fire once? Is it not misleading to have an SA state that it is powered by Intimidation, but still need 15 other traits to have it fire once? It's not as if I've been building my player completely unbalanced. I've been putting points in a number of different areas. Very frustrating.

Yes, it exists.

Well spreading your points thin isn't always the best way to go...

How can you expect an SA like that to work if you aren't breaking tackles or staying upright?

I think of that as an SA that I would invest in much later in my bot's development.

Only once you are breaking tackles with a good degree of probability will it become valuable. Until then, I'd want SAs that help break the tackles or help hold on to the ball.

True, but I'm saying it's not like I'm bringing only two traits up. And I'm not bringing 14 the same either. Three traits in high 40s, three in low 40s, and three in the 30s.

Sorry, sir, but exactly how does staying upright have to do with FT firing? The SA states that the condition is "being tackled" meaning whether you're going to be brought down or not, upon being touched, this SA should have a 30% chance of firing (w/ 2 stars). The reason I'm questioning it is because it looks to be more like 0%. I cannot find a single instance of it in my replays and yes, I have stayed upright and broken tackles.

Sup. Thank you. This shows Freight Train fire and then he gets brought down by the same guy FT fires on. At least it shows it exists. Kind of sad that you have to hunt high and low for a sighting of this SA.

I see. Which ones do you suggest?

The SA is called Freight Train, not tackling dummy. Just think about it.

I looked at half a game to find it, lol.

I'm sure it fires every single game for my back. 'fixurbuild' is what you're being ignorant against.

Here, a couple more from the most recent game:

Pretty telling when every example you list ends up having no effect on the play whatsoever, lol.

Is tackler grip -25% (when pretty much no defenders in the game have significant grip to begin with, lol) really worth 3 whole skill points (or 6 if you are dumb enough to go the whole way just for some insigicant bonus morale and speed gain).

You aren't dragging anybody far enough for 20 to 40% speed loss to get you anything more than a yard or two before someone else tackles or they drop you anyway, when Power Thru and Stiff Arm are trying to get you real yards.

lol the defenders are actually gaining morale because of where they are tackling the back.

I really appreciate you calling me ignorant. I also apologize for not being "expert" enough to post a question in the "FAQ's, Player Guides and Game Help" section. I'm sure comments such as these are just helping the masses join up and feel like they want to learn about the game.

Exactly.

I haven't edited my original post. Simply asking if anyone's invested in it and having success with it. I don't mind conjecture, but making it sound like it's the reason why it's not working and not the SA itself is not helping matters.
