What are the skills and best skill to pump to prevent rev pancakes.

I am reading alot of posts claiming run/pass power prevents it. I personally think balance is the top skill and not even sure if power matters at all.

Read the definitions

Power - to push defender back or stop from being pushed back
Balance - to keep from falling over

Well...rev cakes are getting pushed over, not back.

preventing rev cakes means you have to not be losing the battle.

so yes, balance is huge. as is both tech and power.

Losing the battle = tech, not power.

Power is how you create cakes and is the force behind winning battles. Why do you think Leverage fires so often for people in passing situations? They are losing the battle with less than optimal Pass Block Power.

It is a combination.

Balance is a big factor now. Power is also a big effect as well

Power comes into play after the battle is determined. If the O-Lineman won the battle, power is used to push back or pancake the D-Lineman. If the O-Lineman lost the battle, power is used to resist being pushed back. Balance is "the ability to stay up right and regain balance after being knocked off balance". So basically, to prevent getting rev pancaked.

wrong, I built a spin cycle DT with 35 tech - you can get the winning condition with power alone. It doesn't fire as often, but you have to be winning for it to and he was in vet with 35 tech.

The battle is actively being won by tech or power, higher tech allows you to negate some of the 'push' effect of your opponents power but does not negate its ability to wear down the block/energy/morale. Balance also plays a role, a much larger one now it seems.

Tech makes abilities fire more often and can help win, but it is not the only thing that is considered for the 'winning' condition.

This season seems to have been a 'buff Raid' season, Chicken is built for this shit but noone picked him up - and my DTs are firing on all cylinders.

I know what ya mean. My power rusher dt has 70 revcakes in 3 games.

My balanced guy is going to have a ridiculous season if he keeps up the current pace, hopefully he misses a lot fewer tackles moving forward though :/
