Are they worth it, i've made decent regular CB's just wondering if its worth a S* with Salary/effectiveness?

If I had to choose among a S* SS, CB, FS or DE, I would go with SS, CB, FS and then DE in that order.

S* CBs are nice in that they are both good against the pass and the run. They can really help shut down one side of the field.

I prefer the SS because S* TEs can be a major problem.

S* CBs can be good too. We just don't see them as often because S* TE and SS are regarded as more important.

I am leaning towards making a S* CB, as i've had success with the S* DE previously and your spot on about the S* SS, luckily one of my team members will do the S* SS. My current S* FS was a bit interesting, he is good generally against the run, just does not get targeted enough in the passing game in my opinion to allocate a spot for in the next run.

Thanks for your input Darkwingaa

A S* CB defitniely can be an impact player. Like darkwing said, it's very effective for Pass/Run defenders. High pursuit is needed in the age of Play Action anyway, so using the extra SP for something like Contain Expert can be useful with an outside run stopping CB.

I personally tend to lean towards S* CBs. Defensive back is my signature build preference and I’ve had a lot of success with them. With the S* CBs I’ve made you can essentially lock down a teams options in the pass game.

Depending on how you plan on making your defense I highly recommend, especially if you plan on running a lot of 3 man sets. A S* CB roaming the slot is essentially pick heaven when paired with the right physical.

Personally speaking, i go 90+ on the mains with the rest at 40 minimum. I focus on tackling over run blocking considering I’ve noticed extremely gifted physical CBs have a way of just blowing by defenders.

PM me if your really interested and I’ll send some tips. I can dig up some footage of mine and try and find some of my past coached builds.

Makes Sense Bo I always like Contain Expert on Corners as well!
