+3 blocking +1 absorb pain

+3 vision +1 shock block

+1 agility, +1 cut block

+2 vision, +1 pancake

for what position?

regardless, i don't like any of pancake, cut block or absorb pain and i love shock block, so...definitely shock block for me

i would probably give the absorb pain +3 blocking the next highest rating since you have the blocking

Shock block most likely.
Unless you are currently, and will probably continue to be for quite some time, underleveled / outmatched in your league in which case take the absorb pain.

Thanks, yeah didn't consider that.

Bort explained Absorb Pain a while ago.

It lessens the morale/stamina hit when losing blocking rolls, every time you lose the roll. "Stronger defenders" refers to guys who are probably beating you more often.

Now go and look up how often a quality defender moves away and/or how often an offensive lineman has to engage.

Yeah I saw that, I just don't plan on losing too many blocking rolls. I haven't seen issues with morale or stamina on the o-line, as we have a solid o-line with line general and good depth. If that weren't the case (underleveled/outmached as I said), then I'd want to add absorb pain to help close the gap a bit.

I also considered my o-line players to be good blockers who barely ever get their blocks shed.

That was, until they played in pro and world league... noone is going to hold a block over there for more than 4 ticks.
