15 diving on every one of my CB's....maybe that is what I'm doing wrong.

I have never seen a diving deflection or int.

I have seen a diving interception for sure. Usually on a tipped ball.

Your own CBs have diving in the high 20s.

doesn't mean I don't kinda wish they had more like 40. The CBs I'm building on Rhode Island will finish with at least 40.

where do those points come from to get it to 40?

from tackling?
deflecting?

Here's mine: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/55007 53 tackles, 18 missed.

Yours is struggling there, 90 tackles, 40 missed D:

hmm one of my DT's had a diving deflection, too many PD's to look thru though

Yeah...I really think diving makes your player miss more tackles. He dives from further away instead of running up to the player and tackling him.

My point is that you haven't did any testing on at least 1 of them to see if 40 Diving actually helps. They are about to hit Vet and you are about to spend SPs blindly. You then come on teh forum and say you wouldn't recommend anyone to build a guy with less than 40 diving without anything to back that up....and before you say you've seen it work on other CBs don't bother. If it made that much of a difference you would have already had those CBs with that amount or more.

I'm offering an opinion. You're free to disagree.

People are bitching about missing tackles on power-backs and not covering receivers. I'm guessing that it might have something to do with the skills everyone's typically ignoring.

How much jumping did coverage players typically take on GLB1? At least 50 right? And here we are in a sim that was more or less loosely developed from GLB1 with cornerbacks that have vertical/diving in the teens-30s. I'm just sayin'

It costs 5-6k max to pump vertical or diving from minimum to 40 on most positions on defense.

We're talking what it'd cost to go from 65 > 70 interception. 75 > 80 on power tackling. 60 > 65 in sprinting or quickness. 80 > 85 in deflection.

My point is, you might be much better off at 60/60 sprinting/quickness with 40/40 vertical/diving than you are with both of those skills at 65/65 and vertical and diving at 15/15.

oh, and fwiw, a diving interception off a deflection.

and that's in sophomore with little skill involved.

Good point.
