This is my oldest wr and I am mainly having trouble with not catch balls becuase it's sais close defender nearby. Can anyone give me a thought of why and what needs to be increased to fix

To avoid that you need to pump catch in traffic and/or icrease things like sprinting, quickness, route technique/elusiveness and add Head Fake or First Step SA.

Catch in traffic will help you "fight" the defenders while trying to catch a pass, making it easier. The other things I mentioned will help your WR to be open more often, so he'll make an easy catch since there's no defenders nearby.

Of course I was just worried about pumping speed and quickness to high at the early levels and being to fast for the qb

I would retire him. Need some of the catch skills way higher. The cap I mean.

Oh I will retire him specifically but was wondering to see so I can make build stuff for other younger ones

Don't forget you can take some of those Attributes under 5. That's the mistake I made at first. I didn't realize you could drop them to 1.

Catching Grip + Catch In Traffic + Rec Awareness

How do you get the caps up? I know it's not speed or strength. Is the key awareness and confidence?

I know confidence helps a lot

Awareness is very key I have a few made rookie that are 7-8 ok awerness and they are 70+ caps

But you don't need to go mad. I have mine at 5 but you can get away with 4, I reckon, I'd be hesitant about going lower than that. Others have and do in order to get that balance of Speed, Agility and Awareness that your WR needs to lift the caps. Strength is the one to take a bit lower, but again, the lower the strength, the less able he is to hang on to the ball.

I get the strength part

Yes. I have a WR or two that have AWR and CON up to 9. And I took STR and STA below 5.

Just create a bunch of dots with 10 in one thing and 5 in the rest and write down which skills have higher caps in each scenario and you'll get a pretty quick picture on what effects what and to what degree.

which is an awful way to create WRs...
