Warrior General Games

Just kinda wondering what y'all thought...I'm starting to think that Strength really isn't as important as everyone keeps making it out to be, but I'm working on getting blocking up a bit as well. I think all equip from now on is going to go to Blocking...or I could just keep bumping everything into Strength and put all of my SPs into Blocking while training Agility/Stamina.

Right now, this is what I got:

Strength: 85 (71)
Blocking: 55
Speed: 8
Tackling: 12.6
Agility: 15.84
Throwing: 9
Jumping: 9
Catching: 8
Stamina: 25.45
Carrying: 8
Vision: 12.6
Kicking: 8
Confidence: 12.6
Punting: 8

(And no, he really hasn't been getting burnt, but he's also on a terrible team)

There has been a lot of recent talk in the DL forum about Strengthless DTs that can completely dominate guys like your C.

Just a note.

Other than that, cool. Lots of Strength. Are you getting your Bisquick to go?

Heh, I have 3 DTs who would destroy my center. I'm more aiming for being a beast at level 30 than at level 12

NO?!?!? You're kidding right? You mean O-line needs something besides STR, wow who would have guessed.

The only way that happens is if the offense never runs the ball. I've seen a lot of strengthless DE's have a great first quarter and as soon as they get knocked on their arse a few times in a row they mail it in for the rest of the game.

Take blocking up to 71 raw now also and you will have an awesome future prospect.

On my guard, I boosted blocking to 68 raw and it made him a lot better at holding blocks on the agile DTs that I faced. Blocking counters their agility, and many of them have 70+ agility now so get that blocking up! Since I boosted blocking, and shifted some equipment over to take it into the 70s, I have held a lot more blocks.

As for Speed/Agility and Vision/Confidence, to maximize training gains you should train these up to 30 or so before putting any skill points in. Don't worry too much about the special abilities yet either, those can come later. Edit: You can train these combinations on intense, and it is well worth collecting those bonus tokens imo.

With the bonus you get from natural leveling, at lvl 30 or so you will have a monster - although you already know this though!

69 base strength, 71 base blocking, lol. Might be hard pressed to find someone who reached 54 Blocking Bar sooner than 18, but I'd like to see it if someone can show me an example.
By the way, this guy is average at best. As the OP stated, we build these guys to be good much later on.

not "sooner", but my G is in a very similar place.

he's lvl 19 with 69 str, 70 blocking (without eq).

Any my lvl 11 C Should beat it, but who knows. http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=702040
He's got 64 str/61 blk, and even without spending anymore points, he should have 71/68 by level 18.

And yes, I agree that these guys are fairly mediocre to bad right now, but by the time they are level 30 they will be great.
