here are his naked stats:

Strength: 65.85
Blocking: 65.95
Speed: 11
Tackling: 12.4
Agility: 15.4
Throwing: 8
Jumping: 8
Catching: 9
Stamina: 15.4
Carrying: 9
Vision: 14.4
Kicking: 8
Confidence: 14.4
Punting: 8


i will be taking his str/blk to 69 so you don't need to mention that. i will be putting lvl 8 eq into stamina for next season, but not really sure what to focus on next. Should I bother trying to rush any other stats to a cap, or should I just be happy to round robin train spd/agi/stam/conf/vis while spending my SPs on SAs?

your str and blocking will be fine for a long time. I would rush to cap confidence now. then agility. train stamina and agility while you capping confidence.

Out of curiosity, why cap confidence prior agility, when you could use the intense training option of study playbook, or whatever the +conf/vis is.

Yes, I'd like to know why a center needs confidence capped as well. Regardless, this would be one of the last skills I'd put SPs into.

confidence, going up against some of the strongest players in the game? I can see why the C needs it...


The value of everything else at 0.2/level is so low, I'd round robin intense training. Maybe cap vision and agility when you get a chance as you'll benefit from them slowly getting toward 50. No point killing all your training though.

speed+stamina, confidence+stamina are there for the rest of your career, I guess

Agility is your number 1 priority.

It's a secret. Just giving my opinion, take it or leave it.

Definitely cap agility after getting finishing off blk/str

Why don't you take str and blk up to 72, and train the other stats?

If not, you might want to hang onto the sp. It is a real waste boosting an attribute that is on 15. It is much better to train it up to 30 or so and then throw all sp into it to take it up to 48.

This is interesting when noting that your C has soft capped agility, but not confidence. Is there a reason you changed your mind?

Anyway, thanks for all the advice, I think I'm gonna go ahead and train conf/vis and conf/stamina until conf is 30. Then I'm going to train agi/vis and spd/stam.

Yeah he is my first character. I learned a lot from him. and I'm still leaning from him.

Centers need a lot of Str. A lot more than blocking. They take on the big strong N.T.'s
You can cap agility or Confidence. But from what I learned a Center doesn't really need much agility or speed. I would rather have 30 speed and 30 agility right now, and capped confidence. 30-40 speed and agility is really all a center needs. The Center basically engages The Nose tackle every play and doesn't move around much.

speed and agility are important for a L.O.T. or R.G. for sure. But I also noticed that when I had my Center playing R.G. earlier in the year, 30 Speed was enough for him to pull to the right and be there before the play would develop. I think It's really a matter of how far you have to move. Since a center hardly ever moves very far, I would cap confidence, so when he goes up against those big powerful N.T.'s he doesn't take so much of a moral and stamina hits. But most Nt's are pretty slow themselves.
