1) You shouldn't be putting any skill points into Special and Additional Abilities.

2) For an elusive back, he should be the shortest height possible and the smallest weight possible. I'll assume you didn't do that due to a few of the decimals in your player's catching and carrying.

3) One good thing you did was apply the max SP's to speed right when you built your HB. However, since you're on a D-league team anyways, it would have been better to save your 15 skill points after you created your HB, until you had trained speed up to 34 and then a high percentage in the training bar (for example...90%)


Otherwise, not all that bad of a start build. I've seen a lot that have been far worse.

1. like i said i'm new to this game, i wont put any points into them from now on

2. from memory i did put them both the lowest possible, the reason they both have decimals is because i have been using my training points on those skills because they have the lower levels(giving them higher higher training ratios)

3. yeah i read that after i made him, it shouldn't matter too much in the long run should it?

thanks for the quick reply, i didn't expect to get one so soon

i'd still love some ideas on a recommended build tho(eg, get agil to x, get str to y)

alright, here's an update, could anyone give me some suggestions for a build?
