My OT has blocking and strength pretty equal but I have 6 points to spend. Which is better to second cap first?

agility, before both of those.

Yeah, thats already soft capped...

Cap it again.

agility and blocking >>>>>>>>>>>>>> over str for a OT

blocking

i'd say agility & str >>> blocking.

blocking is dependent on agility and strength to be successful. going against a DE that is either stronger or more agile will result in failure even with high blocking. you'll get pushed back or run around after initial contact.

You rarely ever see a DE push an OT all the way back to the QB in GLB like you do IRL
even bull rushing de would have to shed the block to get a sack on the QB thats why str aint that important with OT

Sounds logical - but just doesn't happen. All that can happen is the DE pushing a little bit. Oh well... the HB is still on his way on run plays and till the DE finally gets close to the QB on pass plays, the pass is already thrown. Oh... and blocking works wonders when facing an much more agile DE.

i see it plenty when going up against a really strong DE. there's not a lot of teams that have them but 90 str 60 spd/agi DE will shove a 70 str OT back into the QB repeatedly.

So you want to build your player to be better against rarities than the majority?

is this a RDE or LDE doing the pushing. from what i've seen, almost all RDE are strictly speed/agility nowadays. it is definitely true that ROT need a bunch of strength, but not so much for LOT

For defending the pass, it has its uses run blcoking/

Does nobody build ROT anymore? I'm tired of hearing "omg agility > strength." That is completely false to generalize. If your team runs right, you will be far better off with 85 strength, 55 agility than vice versa, and appropriate SAs.
