Let's be real here... Tackling tech is garbage.

It's suppose to help "initiate quality tackles" and determine "ability to bring down the ball carrier", yet we all spend a shitload of points on it just to watch our guys get fucked in .06 seconds.

IT DOESN'T HELP SHIT

Even when you pain it with tackling grip, power tackling, and brick wall, your dot is still flung around like a rag doll. Or in other cases it just causes a defender to hold out long enough for help to arrive.

Now there are special cases where the ball carrier is actually brought down by one tackler with high tackling tech, but the fact remains that it just happens too inconsistently for it to matter.

Boost the effect of tackling tech, make it better. Power rushing isn't what it once was, but the fact that you can't even really tackle the ball carrier most of the time is ridiculous. You just have to pray that they didn't build their powerback to run like a fucking tank.

And it'd be stupid to match 95+ points in power rushing with 95+ points in tackling tech because power HBs can get 90+ power rushing, 90+ sprinting, and 90+ stamina while putting 90+ points into tackling tech would essentially make the build useless (unless you focus every single point into run stuffing, which is also fucked up in this game but on an extremely small scale)

I'm fine with power rushing as it is. Yes there are still plays where the HB just plows over everybody and it still seems OP, but that's because tackling tech is essentially a useless skill category atm

Fix ur build

Vader gets most of his tackles from helping, let's see him go one on one with some of the best power backs in the game

If it doesn't help shit don't put any points into it.

But honestly power backs aren't that good anymore.

That is what i was saying in some thread but people kept downvoting me lul, power backs are decent at best, check power backs performance against the top 3 last season, bsb, bb and vape, yeah there are sometimes a breakout run, but the avg is pretty low.

Brick Wall pretty much shut down power backs.

You guys must've misunderstood

You can stop a power back, i just don't like the individual player performance against them. Tackling tech doesn't do nearly as much as the description claims it does.

Those gang tackles are annoying. If I have high tackling tech then why is one guy barely able to hold on until help comes.

That's like playing against prime AP, Lynch, Sanders, Payton, etc

Every. Single. Game

If your playing good teams consistently that is

The current problem is that "Weight" hurts Power Backs more with up the middle runs rather than their deadly Outside/Blow up the CB runs.

Weight is a decent idea but it nerfs inside running which wasn't strong to begin with and didn't do enough to stop Power HBs from destroying CBs.

What's needed is to nerf Outside Rushing - maybe giving CBs a greater tackle radius and a slight boost to inside running.

I forgot about the weight thing. That explains Franken Drago's crappy pre-season games. I'm screwed this season. Time for the Academy to get to Vet.

Agreed

I think power backs are definitely stoppable if you use the right plays to gang tackle where possible, and also with good builds.

The fumble opportunities they present are pretty handy too

Also power tackling helps to flatten the ball carrier fast, I love it as an ability
