I backup both OLB positions.

In all honesty, I'd normally say put those points into both AGI and VIS. But with Bort nerfing tackling, you might want to put all 5 into TCKL. You might want to hear what some other people have to say though.

When is the tackling nerf coming? If its not till next season I'll probably wait till the next time I level. I am training tackling too.

More speed and agility. Training tackling will be fine... The nerf to wrap-up isn't coming until next season, so you should still be able to get your tackling to 30+ just by training it. Speed will make you worth a damn at the ROLB position, though, and put you in line to make more plays in general. I'd also try training jumping occasionally, which will help you snag a few more PD's.

Bort's already been toying around with the nerf. Haven't you read the forums at all? Power backs are now breaking a ridiculous amount of tackles and teams are missing tackles all over the place. I've seen teams miss as many tackles in one game as they have the entire year so far. The nerf to tackling is coming sooner than we think.

Blahblahblah, you're wrong. Sorry, not trying to be rude. But Bort came in the thread and said that he tweaked the way that RBs run the ball a little bit. Meaning, they start running downfield a little faster instead of dancing around. This increases momentum, which helps increase broken tackles... especially as powerbacks are getting to the secondary at an increased rate. The reason so many people are missing tackles now is because so many people in GLB realize how powerful wrap-up is, and are only having the minimum amount of tackling needed. The wrap-up/power tackling nerf/buff is a MUCH larger change that'll be officially announced.

It's obviously going to be announced. If you read my post, I said "Bort's been toying around with the nerf" meaning he hasn't officially changed it to the way he likes it. He's got to tweak it and work with it until he perfects it. It's the beta version. He's not going to get it right on the first try. He's going to mess around with it and then announce when it's finalized.

Blahblahblah?.. Wow, way to be two years old and act all hard on the internet. I'm glad that's how you start off by disproving a statement..

How's is changing their momentum going to break that many tackles? If this is true, then show me some elusive backs that are breaking more tackles. You can't.. Bort's been toying with the nerf until he finds the right median he wants it at.

What? The change obviously wouldn't effect elusive backs breaking more tackles. It would see a general increase in their YPC, however, which I have noticed across the board. It has a MUCH higher impact for powerbacks who take longer to reach full speed as a result of much lower levels of agility. The faster a hulking beast is running at you, the more likely he is to bowl you over.


And Bort's been playing around with th tackling settings on his private server where he does all of that stuff. You act as if I'm making this up or if it's hearsay or something. BORT HIMSELF POSTED THIS IN THE FORUMS. So, you can argue with me and spread misinformation all you want... all I'm doing is delivering information from the one person who actually knows what's changing and happening with the mechanics of the game at all.
