is it best to user a lurk artist or let the CPU roam?

picked up devin white, haven’t noticed much of a difference from pola-mao except being 4 inches shorter… so do i keep usering pola-mao and let devin white do his thing?

I think it depends, there's no simple answer to this, in general though I usually let the AI run with the defenders I beef up and user Pola-Mao / Berry depending on formations, what I think the user will do based off their tendencies

for example, I have AKA Ed Reed with his upgraded universal coverage x-factor, and let the AI roam with him but move him around, I think it's probably better to user a player that you don't have beefed up and let handicapped AI roam with the beef

His 74 zone scares me. I'm just gonna stick with Troy and Pola-Mao for now

just sold him for 660k. he’s gonna drop, plus idk maybe linebackers are better for stopping the run, but you kinda have to use him bc of his zone like you said. so his run stuffing ability is almost negated when usering, i’ll grab a 90 zone LB whenever they’re affordable

Yea, it's a weird card. Maybe try Bernard? He has 90 zone and 65 blockshed so another weird one but i guess he can cover? Lol. Just feels like a lot of obstacles to overcome to have a LB when safeties do the same shit for cheaper

How does AKA Reed play? His legend card was insane for me. just a little hesitant to pay so much for a card

i just sold him. he was always there, but never reacted? his legend was insane for me too but his 91 just didn’t get involved like his old card did. played two seasons with him

im sure he would of proved he’s still a goon but not for 700k. Krause is a goon and he’s under 200k. 

gonna get reed back when he’s 500k or under

he's been awesome for me, use him at KR, two KR TD's already and AI gets a lot of pics with him, monster when he's lit up too, I way overpaid for him, usually am disciplined and wait to get cards but bought him first day for over 900, usually best to wait until next AKA to be optimal on what you spend but some players I don't care and just grab / eat the loss so I can use faster

also it's best to sub him in at SS in the formations you use the most, basically sub him in on the side of the field your opponent throws to more which is usually SS

the big difference between them is SPC, ed gets great animations since both his cards have awesome JMP and SPC

Hmm ok, thanks guys. Gonna see what Tuesday brings us and make a move or two then.

Shoot you can get the LTD TOTW MLB for a better price than White.. I switched to him as my SUBLB from Pola. Ratings are better across the board but one.

Maybe his rating are better than Pola Mao but not better than Devin White... As a matter of fact White's ratings are generally better except zone and height...but with lurk artist those don't really matter

Depends who your other LB/SubLB is. I have Willis, Dave Robinson, and Devin. All w Lurk Artist. I find that in zone I prefer to user Dave because Willis has 90 zone and frankly Dave is the best user in the game and the best defensive card in the game. When I go man/match I user Willis because dave also has 90 man

But if White is your only Lurk Artist LB then I say usering him is always better

Old gen doesn't have lurk artist so thats not a factor for me. I didn't dive into all the ratings to compare like you so touche to you sir on that one...
