It does only work on rushing plays.

Break Through (DT): This ability increases the D-lineman’s ability to break through double-teams. This ability works best on D-linemen with very high Strength and Agility. It provides a bonus to each attribute and also a chance to break two blocks simultaneously whereas you would normally have to break one block, then the next one. This ability is only active on rushing plays.

Well either high str is winning this season over Agl or Break Through is helping. Maybe it only works on runs, but the boost to str and agl are always working.

No, the WHOLE SA only works on rushing plays, so that boost would not be present on pass plays.

Yeah i have known that for a long time. Bort has never been known to be wrong, or make mistakes though....

You say Break Thru only works on run plays, yet both your NT's have sacks, while your DT's have none. I have always believed it works on pass plays as well, and a few key season 1 sack leaders have told me this as well.

Your two statements in bold contradict each other...

w/e this thread shouldn't be used for petty disputes. Keep up the good work tpat, but you may want to add a disclaimer about quoting things

I cant know that bort posted that a while ago and still think it has always worked on pass plays???

Once he posted that I reconfirmed my findings and still believe it to work on pass plays. I have seen about 20 top builds at numerous times and noted the things in common. Pm'd various owners and discussed Borts very words you quoted. One of the main things that kept popping up was sack leaders had Break through.

I am not trying to start a argument, and i am glad mods dismiss different opinions as petty disputes. Where did I ever come off as petty?

Again, Bort has been wrong before, what's to say he isnt wrong this time too? Im just putting it out there for others to think about.

woo, opera quoted it with no problems with over 60 tabs open.


nice guide though.

I wrote this, not bort:

You can find it here: http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=2662504

Here is all I can find on what Bort has said about Break Through:

Breakthrough doesn't do anything extra animation wise. It gives you a bonus and the chance to break both blocks at the same time, whereas without it you'd have to break one and then the other.

Had a long post, but my browser commited die so a brief post...

I've seen DE's break double-teams at the same time...however, DE's do not have the Break Through SA. Do players have a natural chance to break both?

Sure. Break through makes it more likely.

Very inconclusive. I can't remember why I thought it only worked on rushing plays. Sometimes I know things but I can't find them when I to back to look, but sometimes I am mistaken. Very rarely, though. I have a very good memory.

Always a good read tpat, although this one is quite long.

This is your NT.

To me it appears he is getting a boost from Break Through here on a pass play. However, my guy has done thing on occasion with 0 break through so I dont know.

I still feel it gives a boost regardless of pass or run, but people will just have to decide for themselves if they think it works or doesn't.

I don't know. He pancakes those guys in sequence. C, then RG, then HB.

How about this one?

Or this one?

My guy, but has 0 in break through. (I do want to test the idea though)

That was the only other close one I could find. Still inconclusive :/

You have to go tick by tick. On a true break through both dots should shring on exactly the same tick.
