For lurker to light up does it have to be usered....

Im thinking of putting it on 99 Jaylon Smith...I user LVE mostly...

Been wondering the same thing. Think it's time for me to return home to 43.

It doesn't have to be usered and you don't need to click on. One of the great myths of Madden.

I haven't used it this year but in previous Maddens it routinely would light up and you'd see crazy jumping pick animations fully under CPU control.

The description of the ability from EA has NEVER claimed that the ability only works on usered players. And nothing from Mutleaks looking at the code mentions player being usered.

The myth stems from the "User Lurk" text you see in game for a user pick. That has nothing to do with the name of the "Lurker" ability. And then you get people that don't know what they are talking about claiming you have to user to use the ability and then that bad info just gets repeated.

Do you have a source on this?

ThermonuclearDud

The people that claimed a Lurker ability player had to be usered never had a source. That's my whole point.

There is zero evidence that the ability had to be usered.

Yeah actual in game play. It doesn't have to be usered. I have lurker on Jaylon Smith and sometimes put him in a spy. He has jumped and lurked post routes over the middle 15 yards behind him

From what I've seen, you can get click-on INT animations with Lurker on a LB without usering the player for the full play.

Thanks...What if I dont click on in time, will it still activate...

joshkubiak

No, its specifically for users, just put it on whoever you are usering if you want, (which shouldnt be LVE btw)
