Aaaargh! Thanks Puma, I didn't miss your post, I just completely misunderstood it.

I understood by it to train Con and Strength until they first capped (which I took to be 48.06) before putting points into it, that's why I kept going

Thanks for the input Puma.

Better to know this now, guess I'll switch to multi training vision and jumping.

Thanks again.

See, I have to disagree slightly with Puma on one point, I've experimented a little with this punter and the training.

Because of the benefits of training 4 attributes at the same time, I've kept to that mostly, and I've also enhanced my training fully (not the case with agility and jumping yet but Vision and Confidence are maxed out).

Confidence as of right now has probably been trained for well over 2 seasons now and rests at 43. According to the player builder by the time I've finished adding SP into strength, that's when I'm going to stop training confidence and switch to Stamina, and by that point I will have got confidence to 49 through training alone in 3 seasons. So in that case it's okay to train a primary attribute to near the cap.

But, what do I know?

It's Definitely OK to train confidence to the cap if that's all the higher you're ever going to go.

On the other hand if you want 70 confidence end build, then you would have been far, far better off capping it when it hit 38-40, and then training more. By this point you'd probably be 1/3 of the way to 61. As it stands training it to 48 means you're going to spend 24 SP to get it to 60 then another 21-24 to get it to 68.

Alternatively had you spent say 8 to go from 40 to 48, then trained to say 54 you could have essentially bought yourself 12 SP at the cost of 8.

Thanks TGP

Much obliged.

After I stated adding SPs to Con my effective level briefly matched my level but it's gone back down to -1

As I reached lvl 25 I got me my first two VA points. From what I've read in the forumsI was going to allocate them to soccer star. Would Booming kick be better or does it make a difference at all?

As far as the build itself goes I'm now putting SP into Con, was planning on doing so until 68, followed by strength. In the mean time I'll be training the secondary to 39-40 in order: Vision, jumping, ability.

On what may be the dumbest question I've posted, I downloaded firefox/greasemonkey/Player builder... and I have no idea what to do with it, or how to get it running, I'm not a firefox guy, heck I'm not a computer guy so I'm a bit lost there, if anyone know how to get it running and would like to share I'd be much obliged.

Thanks.

i think you are doing just fine, man. my LV 26 punter is -2 effective level, no big deal.

i personally like vision before punting but you have a boomer, so whatever. i also take confidence higher than the +4, i go about the +6.

not sure what va you mean by booming kick but i prefer nail in coffin, clutch, soccer star, swagger, leg of steel in that order

i'm in the same boat with you on the virtual player build script. can not figure it out, 'ol well.

good luck, man.

I think cabz meant vision before strength. (but not for a boomer)

And Booming Kick is a kicker VA; cabz is good on the VAs, but I don't much care for swagger personally.

Help with the script might be better gained from the FAQ forum, someone in there should know more about it; I don't use it either.

You're doing fine. You'll pick it up and improve each new dot you build. You're on the right track and have received plenty of advice here, so I won't offer any of my own. TGP knows his shit.


Also, if you want to see some bad first players? Just ask around. Different training system back then, but it's still pretty horrendous.

ha! that's awesome, man! my first dot was a WR, terrible!

yep, Puma, that's what i meant. thanks, man!

Quick questions about stamina, so far I haven't touched it at all, through training or points or anything, should I train it up to 15-20 or leaving it at 4 is ok for the time being?

Also about A-Eq. I rolled and got me a superior brown shirt (+1 Big Boot SA) - I haven't equipped as I am still gathering all the tokens to enhance it.

Now I rolled the store again and I got a "Superior Balck eye" it reads as (+1 Hang Time and +1 agility) -just going by instinct I thought of passing on it since I thought it best to have eq, all focused on punting (as opposed to agility) but the +Hang Time SA is throwing me off, should I get this eq, or let it be?

I don't know why I am under the impression that I can only get 3 A-Eq that build punting, am I correct on that one or am I worng there?

Thanks again for all the great input

-Thanks again

Hang Time is fine, but the +1 agility is a waste. But I also thinnk shopping is a waste. I'd build what you need and plan your training knowing how many bonus tokens you're going to need as opposed to hoping to get lucky shopping.

You can have up to 4 AE for any position and they can be modified however you want.

Thanks TGP

Any thoughts on the Stamina Q? I have seen some builds with stamina up to 20s so I thought of asking in case training it would be better to do now instead of leaving it at 4.

Thanks again.

C2

4 is fine for now. I would train eventually.

Thanks TGP

Much appreciated.

C2

Agree with TGP, although I think shopping for your first 2 pieces is fine. Try to get either a bare +1 SA or a bare +3 punting and add the other piece. The +1 agility is bad because you can't add any punting to it. You want +3 punting on every piece of AEQ.
