Has anyone figured out how to use these effectively for D-line?

A lot of toughness is good. Intimidation is optional.

According to some of the GLB experts, Intimidation is a waste of SPs. Toughness should be maxed out on both sides of the line.

Re: Intimidation.

- Are you saying it's not pretty much the inverse of toughness like it reads?

- If a DE gets lots of sacks on a low-toughness QB, would it not be of some nice value for fumble creation?

- I thought I had read that intimidation played a part in the roll determining push strength and even stick rolls.

- How about potentially taking starting OL out a bit earlier each half? Even just doubling the starting intimidation from 15 to 30 takes only about 2k points.

Re: Toughness.

- If a player had 80+ conditioning, would it be necessary to still go over 45-50 toughness?

Toughness is cheap....alot cheaper than intimidation. So I would max out toughness on all linemen and LBs/HBs.

Intimidation is expensive, agreed. But if 2000-4000 points means the starting OL gets 20-25% fewer plays or depletes energy 30-40% faster, isn't that a cheap investment, all else equal?

Would you still say this if the max toughness is 80-90?

I do put some intimidation on my O Linemen.

There's SAs I like powered by intimidation. Beatdown, Freight train, etc. On those players I'd invest in intimidation no problem.

I find toughness to be mildly useful and intimidation to be worthless.
