Spend 5 SP?
Say STR, BLK, and AGI are high enough not to worry about them and just let natural level ups do the work.

Speed isn't at a high enough place to be worth placing SP(For sake of argument we'll say 17 SPD)

Stamina is ~30.
Confidence is ~30.
Vision is ~35.

No points in SAs.

What would you do?

If you're honestly done with str/blk/agi, which at level 24... hmm.. then I'd cap vision. I hope by done you mean 60's across the board, and I'd prefer 68 personally.

I would put more into either str/blk/agi because there is no way in hades all three of those are at 68+ raw.

tbh i dont see getting 68 raw str as worth it.
Maybe agility.

68 str on the right, yes. 68 blk/agi on both sides.

My lesser attributes? (If you're referring to strength)

There's no point in investing in your lesser attributes right now. You'll eventually want to get agl and blk to 68 anyways and if you do it now they'll be higher by the time you're at level 30 and getting minimal XP.

If you really felt compelled not to spend the points in blocking or agility, I'd cap vision.

Well, not everybody likes to get beat in their 2nd-3rd season by going straight to 68/68/68. I can see why he'd want to go to minors now.

But having done that with my OT - I regret it. My build is fine, but probably about 5 levels off what it could have been, atleast.

tbh if I get beat, its only because of shed block, so that's not really a problem

build is what is important as i'm in with this team for the long haul.
The reason I don't really view strength as important is with the way DE's are building right now. They seem to be going into the cookie-cutter SPD+AGI.

Now I don't know the code, but seeing as Protector gives a boost to BLK, I see that as more important to STR, especially with the lack of strength most of those cookie-cutter DEs have.

I always have and will continue to think blocking is much more important than strength. The way all defensive linemen are building now is to focus on agility and breaking blocks. You can't move a guy if you can't hold the block.

I think blocking may also increase some kind of "block radius" around your player.

So I would say that if you're really focused on build for the long-term, use your SP in blocking and agility. You can train both stamina and vision with confidence on intense so it leaves you some good combinations for training.

Based on your pre-formualted opinions about str/blk/agi, I'd train spd + sta on intense, and cap vision. Then you could keep training vis + conf once stamina gets to an untrainable level (36ish? 38?) and finish your speed training on normal to find an AE gear. Then cap speed, and re-evaluate. Should hold you for a while

A lot of those cookie cutters have STR to 68. LOT or ROT, doesn't matter STR should be to 68 natural. You need to be a good bit stronger than the DE
