Is it worth it to push blocking into the 70s or 80s for an interior OL, or should you just focus on getting crazy strength with blocking topped out in the 60s?

i have almost 80 in blocking with all those crazy agility NTs coming out i think its a good idea to increase not only blocking but agility too

This particular lineman has agility to the 1st cap. Didn't figure an interior OL needed any more than that.
The overall build is strong. I'm pretty pleased with him. I'm mainly just looking for opinions on the virtues of high blocking and high strength vs pretty high blocking and very high strength.

I'm pretty happy with my RG's performance overall, and he's definitely in the mold of high BLK/STR rather than being a powerlifter who can sorta block.

I've noticed a distinct trend in strength LGs getting pwned by DTs, even though they have BLK in the low 60s. (edit: and AGI at the soft cap)
I plan on equalising my STR/BLK over the next few seasons, at the moment STR is 11 ahead so I will throw all equip into block. I also plan on eventually double soft-capping AGI.
Edit: My build will be open for 24 hours or so if anyone cares about what I'm blathering on about.

Needs a bit more speed and a fair bit more vision, IMO, but otherwise looks pretty solid to me.

Yup I plan to train vision to 37-38, then shove SP in to the soft cap and leave it there. I plan to train speed to 37-38 also, but I don't think I will ever bother to soft cap it.
I know they're too low but the good thing is I can train them up. I'd prefer to put my SP to other attributes, and possibly get blk into the 70s raw.

why did you soft cap his confidence?
Mainly to take advantage of the gains from levelling up, and the fact that confidence is a major ability for a guard so it must do something! I think I rolled a 25 or so in confidence and naively didn't bother to re-roll, so it naturally got to 42 or something like that anyway, and I just thought, "what the hell, I'll cap it".
Haven't noticed any increase in performance though so it could well be points wasted.

thoughts on importance of sp/ag for inside linemen? I know it's important for the outside linemen but I can't decide how high I want to take it for the inside guys.

I wouldn't worry about speed as much as agility. Agility is changing directions as well as your acceleration (presumably off the line as well, then). The only problem is borts "supporting attribute" release from season 4 - if two things go well together, you can't neglect one of them. If you're planning to run 48 agi / 8 speed, good luck!
