Pass block SAs are at decent levels, no run block SAs though.

Where do I go with my boosts?

I am at the same crossroads myself with my level 31. Mine has the same strength and 3 less agility and 8 less speed. My choice was to get vision to the first cap, which i did. But now, I am torn between 2 attributes:

Blocking to 68 or vision to 61 (without equip...i am assuming yours is with equip)

I will barely be able to get my blocking to 68, and I can hit up my vision to the second cap and spare a few points to SAs. BUT, my theory that blocking is overrated for a LOT makes nme not want to choose blocking.

I am leaning towards vision...So i recommend that for you in case you were wondering the same thing. ESPECIALLY if your attributeds shown are without equip. Pump that vision. I think it helps your guy to not get juked and not get beat off the snap. Vision and agility baby!!!

But tryingmto choose the right thing before the start of a season really sucks... its like rolling a dice because of the new "updates." think DEs will be strongewr next season because I think QBs will be fumbling a lot more on sacks.

I don't have any run block SAs because we never run to the left, and if we di its between the center and guard. So to me its really a waste.

speed is low, strength could be higher, probably should train sta/cnf, might as well cap vision. i'm assuming eq and va aren't included?

I'd assume so, else he has 10-10-10-10-10 on top, lol, that's way too few SP.

Speed and vision to 48 is the cookie cutter answer.

Yeah, I was thinking about speed, but pass blocking was pretty easy for my guy last year. He pretty much stayed in front of every DE we played with only a few exceptions and he didn't allow a sack. I kind of thought I would continue to train speed/stamina/confidence/vision since there are a few combos in there and all of them have relatively decent value still.

But yeah, those stats are without equipment or VAs. If I had equip on there it would be pretty embarassing.

I've been thinking that I would just go with strength or agility. I could add about 4 points between the two attributes. It's just strange to spend your 3 boosts to get about 4 points in an attribute.

remember that if you boost and spend all your points and then realize that the DEs in your league have suddenly gotten faster, you'll basically be screwed.

you can split your eq into two of the big three, and use VA on the other (use VA on the one that's naturally the highest). or something like that.

train sta/cnf. put points into speed. 85/85/75 or 80/90/75 should be fine, I have a hard time imagining many DEs that could beat that with any frequency. Maybe with 110 agility and 12 in shed blocks...assuming your speed is high enough. imo you are just taking a gamble on the speed without a big payoff by having higher str/blk.

Speed is overrated for an OT. Vision is mmore important. It will help your player not get beat off the snap...thats what makes a DE get around you. If your guy freezes, all the speed in the world won't help.

Vision to second cap, while training speed, then get speed to the first cap. Although i don;t think speed is as important as many people say here. if you back up too fast, you basically make a HIUGE hole for the ROLB to run through.

We had an OT that was way too fast. He would back up in pass protection and make a hige gap for the ROLB to run through before the ROLB hit the gap. And the ROLB would get the sacks. So we moved him to the right side and he REALLY works there because he can run block better.
