Linebackers have always jumped. They need to hit certain thresholds to do so, because linebackers had really bad stats last year to start the year they did not animate very much to start the year off. Which led to the YouTube herd to listen to one person and push a false assumption. Completely different question were linebackers better than using safeties last year. Technically no safeties in meta nickel were just plain better. Were linebackers usable by the end of the year, yes. With ap adjustment and very select linebackers you could field a 4-3 that was competitive. M22 starts linebackers with higher stats than last year. So they start off far better than last year. Some even have top tier spd. What I believe will happen is linebacker will start off behind safeties, when people get more training and pass coverage linebackers hit the 93's they will be even. As the year goes on linebackers will take a slight lead based on ap. Maybe even a strong lead later on if EA ap nerfs safeties. Which knowing EA is very possible. I cant answer what you should play I would recomend play what you are comfortable with. Linbackers do jump and they are starting off better than last year again until ap becomes a factor safties are techically better for now.
On a side note in lineup feedback in the coming week when I have the team fully built I will post a 25/25 Cowboy/Browns split TT which have the best coverage linebackers to start the year.
Lol ur saying last year they jumped? What threshold was that at 105? Lol none of my linebackers jumped last year with 99 everything. They jump, they just don’t animate like a safety

What game were you playing? Linebackers had no animations when jumping. It was the biggest gameplay blunder that I can remember.
Gutfoxx knows the game better than you do. Sorry.
