Bell or Collins...

At nickel LB? Both are 98 OVR.

Was there ever mention of nfl100 players getting a power buff? If not then I will probebly go right along with Collins

there was mention the other day that ea is trying to figure out HOW to do it, not so much IF. Not confirmed but something that could be coming just not sure when (if at all) and what the cost would be. also I wonder if it would be in time for the players to turn 100 OVR only to move on from them anyway as higher cards come out. if they introduce a way to get them above 100 that'd be awesome.

I'm still in this dilemma myself. I have SB Von, Bell and Collins. I just don't know where to place them now. They each have their pros and cons.

Bells con is nothing really, strength I guess Collins is obviously the better coverage guy Von is the the better full out Run Stopper/Pass Rusher So what do you do.

Others have already given great input.

Imho, Bell is better, but i just put Collins in his place for the Power. Bell is the only top100 i didnt immediately sell after replacing, hoping to get his base power higher and putting him back in, if that ever happens.

Can I Hijack to ask about Collins vs Shazier as well? Collins will replace either Bell or Shazier for me.

Been using them but have Shazier as Nickle LB and Collin s as other since AI for LvL

bobby bell is the best outside linebacker in the game currently

I'd go Collins. That Awareness and Play Recognition is going to come in handy.

Play Rec is free with all the boosters giving them out abundantly. I wouldn't look at Play Rec anymore. Everybody on my squad should have 99 Play Rec in game.

robertk328

it's just live events but in any defensive one he's been picking the ball off constantly now I just need him to do it in LVL lol

robertk328

Collins has better base at stats and higher power. Bell has better defensive stats. Tough call!

I’d say if you have Bell don’t rush to get Collins, but if you don’t then go ahead.

Bell does have some ridiculous stats. This is good to see that comparison.

layd2rest

Look at the big picture. Bell is a do it all LB. The only one that can rush, stop the run and cover. He's the Jack of all trades, except his power is meh

I’ve got both Bell and Collins. I moved SB Warner to the 4th LB and took evo Lewis (96) out of the lineup. But where to put Bell and Collins?

robertk328

Both you can put on either side. If you have blitz package put Bell on blitz side. Just one and he goes on right of lineup screen so he is in on nickel plays.

There is no “blitzing” LB position as the AI randomly flips defenses. You are correct in the right LB slot staying on the field in nickel formation so put your best coverage LB there
