Ok

I know someone out there has done an analysis out there. This is your chance to share your brilliance and genius with the rest of us. Start small - what have you learned by watching a high intim LB make a tackle vs a no intim LB making a tackle?

How about on blocking interactions? See high intim make a significant effect on opponents energy and morale?

i dont feel like my high intim lbs miss less tackles... but i think it did make a difference on the Line at lower levels before people got their heart higher.

Heart doesn't protect against intimidation. That'd be toughness.

It makes it hard to evaluate - I guess we'll call it a 'visual' bug? but those cases where the full morale hit of a play doesn't actually show itself until the next play starts in the playback makes it tough to determine.

What do you consider a 'significant effect'?

It definitely helps take more morale. It's hard to say how much because most (all) of the time I can't see the OL/QB's build and I can't compare my build to the same build/situation with 0 intimidation.

So ive wanted to know a bit about this also so made a LB with abit of intimidation on him and some Power Taackling. From what ive seen so far and its not alot his Intimidation only really has a major effect on QB's. I mean he only got 1 sack and it was in a scrimmage but the QB straigh taway took a big confidence hit and then the standard hit at the start of the next play for the sack. Havent really seen much effect on tackling though but again only early days.

Here is his build and put him in another scrimmage to see if i cant get more Data

true but intimidation effects heart

If your O-linemen are consistently getting pancakes, adding lots of intimidation and beat down could conceivably cause a morale death spiral to D-linemen who have neglected Heart and Toughness. My test team I used to build S* points a few seasons ago had wild success with Intimidation+Beat Down before the pancake nerf (in rookie, but still), I could get a whole D-line's moral down to 1 by halftime, even if I wasn't winning the game. Beat Down also has the great bonus of decreasing the time Pancaked players are on the ground, cutting down on the pitches where the outside defenders are pancaked immediately, and get up early enough to break up the play. Beatdown also makes those special teams pancakes running teams get a lot more impactful
