Big Hits will knock a ton of passes incomplete and a High Motor will make your team's run defense a million times better. Try getting both of those attributes for at least all of your starting linebackers and you'll see a world of difference.

It's a trait. You have the ability to purchase it just like clutch and all the other traits. I didn't know what it was for though

For DBs why would you want to go from Aggressive to Conservative? I would think that would mean less INTs. Also regarding High Motor and Big Hitter, I don't think all defensive players can get those only certain positions.

I'm guessing Aggressive players go for the ball when they're not in a position to make the play and may lead to a big play. A Conservative player would have better judgement as to when to go for the ball, when to go for the deflection and when to go for the tackle.

As far as Big Hitter, I know that every defensive player has that option available for XP purchase. I'm not sure about High Motor, though. I know it's available for safeties, linebackers and defensive linemen. I'm not sure about CBs, but it prbly is.

On the tuck and trait, why would it cost 5,000 XP to go from often to sometimes

When it says the trait increases the chance you'll take off and run ...

Going from often to sometimes is an upgrade ?

Anyone ?

Most QBs who run often, do so because they can't find an open receiver. If your QB is running a lot, it's usually because he's unable to read a defense well and locate open receivers. Optimally, if a QB is mobile, you want him to have a balance of being able to complete passes and knowing when to run. Colin Kaepernick's performance against Green Bay is a great example. He was able to move the ball effectively passing it, but took a few opportunities to run the ball and gain significant yardage. Basically, a QB who runs often hasn't developed his passing skills. So a QB who only runs sometimes is better because he can beat you with his arm or his legs. But if you're playing the game, don't waste your XP on that trait. You control how often you want to run with your QB, so that trait is a complete waste of XP.

I am asking for a Coach league setting and for the player - Russell Wilson

We all know he has skills with his feet but he NEVER runs in the game

Increasing the chances - as the description shows goes against what you said. Anyone else have an idea?

The trait's description on the left is contradictory to the trait's level on the right. It describes it as increasing the chances your QB will take off and run, but on the right, the trait goes "up" when you purchase it from "often" to "sometimes" meaning the QB will run the ball LESS. Simply put, anyone who watches football knows coaches want mobile QBs to develop into great passers who can run only when they need to. No one wants a franchise QB running the ball all the time because they'll get injured. Look at Mike Vick and RG III.

I believe the Tuck and Run trait goes "up" from often to sometimes to rarely. This is the optimum situation for a coach. Look at the some of the great mobile QBs of all time. Steve Young, Warren Moon, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger...they all run the ball less often as they develop into better passers. So the description on the left that says it increase the chances of the QB running the ball is prbly an error. Especially since the Trait level on the ride is the exact opposite of that description.
