High Noon Honeycutt Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 How would you rank the top 10 best LB4s for the LB4 Lurch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingmoe02 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks for the LB post @High Noon Honeycutt!! Not sure about ranking, but I've found that a minimum Running Speed (RS) of 38 is necessary to consistently pull off the lurch. Remember that a player's RS is essentially their starting speed from a dead stop. Having 31 RS just doesn't work on a reliable basis (unless they go into good condition of course). Even if the LB has decent RP, it won't help much for lurching if the RS is below 38 in my experience. So for the OG rom, someone like the Giants' LB4 Carl Banks would be the floor minimum for the LB4 lurch. So anyone with his stats or better will be consistently good at it (i.e. Haley, Greene, Childress, Bennett, Fletcher, etc.). Meanwhile, someone like Philly's Seth Joyner, who is a solid LB4 very similar to Banks, only has 31rs despite other decent stats - hence cannot be relied upon unless in good condition or better IMO. If they have only 25rs, just forget about it. Keep in mind that only LT and DT have a RS of 44 in the game. Everyone else is 38rs or less. So if you're playing with the Rams and Kevin Greene goes into bad, he's no longer a reliable lurcher from his LB4 spot. segathonsov, kamphuna8 and Tundrayeti311 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruddog Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 31 44 Lb's work but like Moe said its inconsistent. Worth the risk depending on the game situation. Remember to tap B for better results. Don't just press it once. Tundrayeti311 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamphuna8 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I hate the times where you go do dive, he sets to dive , and then is flung backward by some high hp ol or te Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red98sethuthut Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sometimes u if dont have a good enough Lb4 to Lurch u can still breakthrough and shoot the gap vs some runs. Just dont dive in this situation right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drake Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yes it is and just as lame (and fun) as diving with NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seamo Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 List of LOLB with starting RS/RP at Avg condition: 38/50: Green (LAR) Bennet (BUF) Haley (SF) Childress (HOU) Fletcher (DEN) 38/44: Banks (NYG) 31/44: Joyner (PHI) Is this the extent of our LB4's we'd attempt to lurch with?

segathonsov Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Tecmo is a lot of about dice rolls, sometimes the Tecmo Gods will let things happen. I was playing last weekend and 2 out of 3 times Joe Mott's Applesauce came in and killed the run up the gut play and he is 25 RS/31RP on Emmit. I also tried with Banks on NYG and never got it once against Thurman in another scrimmage. With Slower LB's I think you are at the mercy of the Tecmo Dice roll if you get popcorned or get through.
