Warrior General Games

Now that attribute VAs are less meaningful, what are the best 2 or 3 VAs for a Center or OT?

For my center.

15 for Natural Leader- Still one of the top choices IMO for centers
10 for Great Blocker- still at .5 so with 10 VA points I saved 44 skill points.

OT: Pass Blocker, Great Blocker, it's really a toss up for the third best VA for tackles. I've heard good things about showboat blocker, second wind, and clutch.

Center: I'm not really sure since I've never made a center. I'd guess that Pass Blocker, Natural Leader, and Workout Warrior would be good.

My center: 15 Pass blocker, 10 great blocking and 11 natural leader.

I went with
15 Great Blocker
11 natural leader <-- will concentrate first 4 new VAs here
5 Pass blocker

My thinking with Pass Blocker, which is most likely wrong, but anyway
As a starting point
C - 5 Pass blocker
G - 10 Pass blocker
OT - 15 Pass blocker

Were physical attribute VA's the only ones nerfed or were football skill VAs nerfed as well? If only the former then was great blocker a mere 0.5% boost last season too? Seems a piddly boost.

Was 1% last season. .5% this season.

i like clutch and red zone freak, as well as goal line blocker.

clutch helps keep the drive moving, rzf helps inside the 20, glb inside the 5.

I don't have very much faith that clutch actually helps OL. the text says it gets specific bonuses to certain cituations. and if VAs are any indication, bort doesn't think too much about oline "situations". I would not be at all surprised to find out that clutch had almost no benefit for oline.

it is kind of a big mystery, but it does seem like he's really trying to balance things out, and i don't think he would make worthless for oline. i imagine it does basic things like boost hold block %. it's just that for every position it's going to be different, but I don't think it would do nothing.

I no longer have any faith that Natural Leader does anything for C's with 7 or higher (just a guess) in the Generals. Last season my C had no less than 90 energy in any game and most games ended with 95 or up. I guess I don't know about the rest of the line, but right now my 9 in LG is enough I think to not want to focus any VA's on it.

If you run a lot of screen plays, outside blocker would be a good choice for an OT.

Watch the OT on these screen plays. If that OT had 15 VA's in Outside Blocker, I'm sure that 30% bonus to speed, agility, vision, and blocking would have helped him execute the play better.

after maxing out pass blocker and great blocker on my LOT, im thinking of maxing out on big heart.

Thanks

I took Natural Leader and Great Blocker to 15 on my C but now I'm not sure what else to target as a VA for centers. Maybe motivational speaker? Does it work?
