Top Abilities For Every Position

Every position has more than one option when it comes to abilities. This means that you can use an athlete who suits your style of play. That said, certain abilities will always perform better in the in-game meta.

PositionBest Ability
QBBazooka/Truzz – Bazooka is great for any QB as it increases the max distance. Truzz is great for beginners as it avoids a fumble in case the QB gets tackled.
RBTruzz – Avoids a fumble in case the RB gets tackled. This is a pretty stable choice for any RB.
WRYac ‘Em Up/ Double Me – Yac ‘Em Up is the best choice if there’s double coverage. Otherwise, Double Me is hands down the best option for a wide receiver.
TEYac ‘Em Up – It pretty much guarantees.
OLAll-Day – Reduces chances of success of shed attempts made by the opposition DL.
DLUnstoppable Force/Fearmonger – Unstoppable Force is is great for quicker block shedding, while Fearmonger increases chances of the QB being sacked if he’s engaged with a blocker.
LBZone Hawk/Avalanche – Zone Hawk raises the rate of interceptions in zone coverage. Avalanche is amazing if you can time your hit-sticks; a successful one will always result in a fumble.
CBShutdown – Contest catches will have increased chances of interceptions and tighter coverage.
SReinforcement – Better chances to defeat run blocks and also disrupt catches.
