SilverMedium Route KO
OVR 80+Defenders with this ability have an improved chance to succeed at catch tackle knockouts, and a longer knockout window, in man-to-man versus medium routes 10-20 yards from the LoS. Upgrades with MCV, COD, and ACC.
GoldPersistent
OVR 85+Players with this ability are harder to knock out of The Zone, and lose composure slower. Upgrades with TGH and STA.
