I was wondering, I haven't heard a lot about this SA. Is it any good at all? To be honest, running my teams it isn't like I have ever had a big problem with morale or stamina on the O-Line. I actually just found some Absorb Pain gear for an OT. It is at all useful? And entire waste?

Even if you don't use it, I'd hang onto that equipment incase the sim is changed more in the future.
As it stands, Absorb Pain doesn't seem all that necessary (from the point of view of a G)

I agree. Further, the wording is quite ambiguous.
First it says:
Originally posted by Absorb Pain
This player has a high pain tolerance. The Absorb Pain skill gives him the ability to take punishment from defenders without flinching or losing morale. He also uses less stamina to block defenders. This skill is very important when playing against big, powerful defenders.
Then it goes on to say:

Additional Levels: Reduces morale and stamina loss when pass blocking stronger defenders.
So which is it? Is it against all defenders all the time? Or only pass blocking situations when the defender has more strength?
OTOH, have an absorb pain piece on my OT, with a +4. His energy and morale is consistently higher than his teammates. I think it's quite rare (I'd say never) that he faces DEs that are stronger than him, so I wouldn't think it would be helping. But it's really the only major difference between him and his teammates. In fact, he has lower confidence than most of the other OLine players. But is that just because he's stronger than his opponents or is this SA working. Who knows? I think I'm going to swap it out for normal EQ next game to test.

Get the morale info post game from your owner. If your players have <90 then you may want to consider using absorb pain and seeing if it helps.

Is this different info than the morale slider on the player page?
