It's in the searchable QA on the wiki from the QA back in March as well -

Q: Does strong base work against run and pass blocking? And would it improve the chances of a reverse pancake or stun of the offensive lineman?

A: per Bort: "strong base is a pass block only skill. It does not directly affect pancake or stun abilities, but it could help you keep the other guy off balance and improve your chances of those happening in general, just by the fact that it improves your pushing ability"

We will have to see if he makes some updates this off-season, thanks for your patience!

I know it says that there however there are quotes all over the place that say different things, so I was looking for the final word from Bort's mouth to clarify...

Will be nice if Bort makes the change so it works for run blocking too!

So does it or does it not work for the defense too? It is an SA for DE's and DT's.

It only works for defense.

It's strong base, not strong arm.
