SubLB

               Weapon X 0ap enforcer 

                Ted Hendricks 0 ap tip drill

Do you need pick artist for a user? I use it but I don’t know if it does much for a user.

I run tip drill in Hendricks as my user and he does fine without PA and I don’t think it’s changes much for a usered player I run PA on everyone else who isn’t a user.

I would have inside stuff. Here's my defensive ap distribution. 

Le- Reggie white DON 1ap 

Dt- Jeffrey Simmons inside stuff 1ap 

Re- Bruce smith's unpredictable 2ap (too much to power up)

Lolb- Matthew Judon Edge threat elite & DON 3ap

MLB- Devin bush 1ap lurker 

Rolb- Lawrence Taylor 0ap pick artist for the heck of it 

cb1- Carmichael - tip drill and pick artist  1ap

cb2- Megatron-  pick artist 0ap 

cb3- Deion- evasive 0ap for the heck of it 

fs1- sen taylor- pick artist & deep in zone ko 2ap 

ss1- ted Hendricks no abilities 

ss2- hufanga crusher 1ap

2 abilities I always run are 1 ap inside stuff and 1 ap lurker, these really help your team overall.

I know it is scheme/player dependent, but what positions do you think are most important to prioritize with AP? All of my DBs have Pick Artist at bare minimum (besides the two safeties I use at SubLB) with some having diff Zone KO. Running DON on both of my ends bc they each have it discounted for 1ap. LBs only using 0ap abilities if they have them and no abilities on either DT. 
 

Have any of you had success using more AP on Dline/pass rushers as opposed to using majority on DBs?

So my D, I budget 2 AP ET (LT), 1 AP ET on Wake, 2 1 AP Inside Stuffs. After that, 2 AP for both my users, and the rest of pick artists. Haven't experimented on zone KOs.

The shed mechanic on QB rollouts has nothing to do with ET, it is a result of how  EA setup the game to counter constant rollouts.

This is why you see people using a lot more pocket passers this year.

I have seen my Sam Adams (sub LE in 3-4) shed many times in the RZ on rollouts.

I now just put anything on people that is 0ap and try to use the most discounts I can but I do hope that they do up the limit to 14 on offense and defense

I  prioritized pass rushing i use DON+spinner on armstrong at RE(92turkey day card very underrated DE prob one of best free cards imo) and buckner at LE and they fly round tackles both abilities r cheap on both cards n are effective

I use 3 ap lurker on Julius peppers at my user, but other than that I use free abilities/ 1 ap Discounts which allows me to have almost every position with an ability on defense (I run a bears tt)

So i know lurker works on LBs, and i play a ton, but not to be negative, does it really even do anything?

For sure. you get way better animations with LBs that have lurker. You might as well not user a LB without it.

i was asking if it does anything on safeties like pepper
