To accentuate this point, I checked how my LTs/RTs were doing. It is very obvious (thankfully) that strength is more important against LEs (so for RTs) and agility is more important agaisnt REs (so for LTs). I like this, it is really showing two things:
- my builds are acting well
- when Brooklyn moves to LT and Bar moves to RT, there is a MAJOR difference (like 3 hurries and 2 sacks vs 0/0)

I don't know why there are so many complaints. I have a level 29 OT in a level 34 cap league. I'm slightly out-leveled by most of the DE's and I've given up a few hurries and that's it through 2 games. Sure, it's a small sample size and not the best competition, but I think it's fair to say that even my 'OK' build isn't getting the doors blown off him even by better DE's. If 82 str, 71 blk, 50 agil, 42 vision and 35 speed can get it done, guys getting beat must be pretty shitty....

Yep, my OT that is built to run block at RT, is doing pretty well because he has almost 80 agility(I don't believe he has given up a sack yet in the SEAPL) and my OT built to be a LT with 100 blocking, 90 agility, 80 strength and 8 protector hasn't given up anything close to a sack in the SEAPL.

Why is no one bringing up confidence and stamina? If a OT gives up a sack, he is going to get a morale penalty. If he gives up a couple more, it will snowball. Actually there should probably be a moral setting, where the team can bench a player when his morale drops below a certain level.

Also stamina is a big part of this. If these sacks are coming later in the game it kind of makes sense. The team is probably passing more when they trail, which is giving an energy penalty to the OT. Added together with the morale penalty, this is probably enough to kill players with low confidence and stamina.

Not as true as you might think. I don't know if 41 confidence is a lot, but that's what Brooklyn has, and she got beat just as badly (re: not worse) for the later sack as the earlier sack. So morale is not THAT big of an issue. Then again I haven't seen the girls give up like 3 sacks in a row. GG had a bad game, but that's b/c Lima's defense is faster than her (by 7-13 levels so probably 5-10 speed).

Are we now back to the speed DE's running like a fucking WR? Next time you screw with the settings you may want to give us a heads up before we boost and waste 15 points on strength and blocking! I didnt know our OT's needed to be built like freaking WR's just to handle the DE's.


LMFAO!!! Oh, sweet justice.

Strength/Blocking is what makes a great OT especially LOT.

Agility > Strength for pass blocking (although both need to be at least 3capped)
