I've lost direction so many times with this player. Is it salvageable?

Also I currently have 2 "+3 Speed, +5% Break Tackle" pieces. What should I get for my 3rd and 4th?

Your should be focusing on catching (i'd recommend as close to 90 as you can get, above is much better) and speed (as high as your comfortable with. Agility I'd take to 82. I hope your working on stamina and confidence. It feels like your building a HB.

thanks.. i could really use some more opinions

The only way I see it being salvageable is focusing on Blocking and try to get it to 82 and find a team that needs a blocking receiver. Your catching, speed, agility, stamina, and jumping are all way low to be of any real use as a receiver at this point in your career.

It can be saved. Speed is only at 74, go ahead and take it to 83. That should get it to about 130-135 end build with equip. Get a spin piece to go with the break tackle pieces and add speed. With your 20 sp's from you 25th boost get catching to 80. Last start training stamina and try and get ti to 60+

heck..with that strength you could go with a power though as well.

if you could get power through and lower the shoulder to 10 without aeq, id go with a catch ball piece. im projecting a similar build that maxes out at 137 spd w/eq.he should be a good option in the slot or on those wr screens

is there really a point to having catching as high as 80 if he's really going to only be used effectively on screens?

Not really but are you sure he will ONLY be used on screens?

First, you have to recognize that he is a WR. Catching the ball is very important. Whether he can break tackles is irrelevant if he is not targeted by the QB or is not able to catch the balls thrown his way. If you want your guy to be effective at the pro level, I recommend the following:

I'm not sure if all these are achievable, but for the skills shoot for (end build):
*140 Speed (all EQ should be in Speed) - slow receivers often are ignored by the QB
*83 Catching (make sure to add the Soft Hands VA to get as close to 90 total as possible)
*80 Agility (bare minimum - see below)
*60 Stamina and Vision
*50 Jumping and Confidence - more Jumping would be nice, but I don't think you'll have the SPs

NOTE: 80 Agility is actually on the low end. If you can get it higher, it would be much better. Otherwise, you will need good investment in the Route Run and/or Quick Cut SAs to help out.

I don't think that you will have enough SPs to mess with your bonus SA. If if you do, dump Lower The Shoulder. Power Through is much more powerful, but I think it would be more beneficial to have Catch Fake. Power Through doesn't seem to trigger much for WRs in my experience and Catch Fake is a good one to have for your WR to get open.

For your 3rd AEQ, get +Catch Ball%. Again, your guy needs all the help he can get to catch the ball.

For your 4th AEQ, get the Spin SA to help break tackles.

On your VAs, I'd recommend next season that you reset Workout Warrior. His base strength is good enough and you need to add VAs to help catch the ball. Add Possession Receiver and Mr. Reliable. So in the end you will end up with 15 Bruiser, 15 Mr. Reliable, 15 Possession Receiver, 15 Quick Feet (if you have the Spin SA), 6 YAC Attack, and then the remainder in Soft Hands.

thanks

I think you're going to be dissapointed with the number of tackles you actually break, especially if you can't catch the ball so yeah doing everything you can to make sure your guy can get into his routes and actually catch the ball is much more important than breaking 10-15 tackles a season if you're lucky.

Yea. Right now I have 10 receptions and 10 broken tackles. Power through is firing pretty well. Once he has the ball in his hands he usually does fine, but I guess he's just not getting open enough

bump for updated opinions?
