Warrior General Games

I have 2 centers and I just can't seem to get their effective rating anywhere close to their actual rating.

Where have I gone wrong? Are these builds too far gone to be salvaged?

You probably didn't take strength high enough, but other than that, part of the problem is EL for Cs is skewed from the non archetype Cs still in the game. Since those Cs got a +1 ALG to strength and blocking, they have/had much higher effective levels than the archetype Cs regardless of how well an archetype C is built.

That being said, by level 34 you should still have around 90 natural strength, even on an archetype build.

I am about 9 points away from a natural 90 STR which will be tough or almost impossible to make it at this point. Do you think these guys are a lost cause at this point in terms of being front line centers?

It's hard to say as far as effectiveness in game play, they are screwed when it comes to being top line in effective level, but they should end up with good blocking (although I would probably go ahead and take it to the 81 cap) and if you get agility up over 90 and speed over 70 by end of build they could be very effective, especially at pass blocking.

It's really going to come down to can having higher blocking and agility on your C make up the 10 pts of strength you are going to be giving up to the top NTs.


If I were you, I would probably 3 way train strength, agility, blocking at this point and have them all at least enhanced to the +20%. I would probably go ahead and add pts to strength up to the 83 cap, then stop putting pts there but keep training it until it got to 90/91.

That should make up about 5-6 of the 10 pts you are behind the stronger Cs and DTs. I think if you did that, it could significantly improve your end build and you could end up with a very good C.

Thank you, that is very helpful and I appreciate it!
