Speed 17 Catching 12
Agility 21 Carrying 19
Stam 24
Vision 19
Conf 15

SA Blocking 1-2-1-1-1
SA off. abil. 1-0-0-0-0

equipment +6 str, +2 blck

way more speed. You have to be able to stay in front of your RB to block well.

Speed to ~35, Agility to 48 (before equipment bonuses)

agreed on the agility/speed.
the running back will blow right by you, as will anyone blitzing.

I agree w/ Dravz. Also, need vision to be around 35.

is it important to focus on raising any one attribute to softcap before worrying about the others, or is to better to just stay balanced as you level, for FB?

We'd all like to ramp one skill straight to 48 but when you have to keep ahead of the RB it makes things difficult. For instance, with your speed and agility you're just a 6th lineman and aren't going to lead anyone anywhere. You just stand still and hope the blitzers run into you, heh.

I concentrated on strength first, but didn't raise it to the soft cap. I made sure to put a point or two into it each level and balanced out the other things.

speed.
agility.
vision.

i'm finding out that strength/blocking are important, but not THAT important.
if your RB is decent and you get out in front of him to put a body on someone, he'll get by the defender.
right now i'm guessing the center could outrun you.

Change all equip. to speed. raise agility, followed by speed.
Don't waste any points on Vision.


*or strength.
