I'm looking for some input on the future development of my Center.

Build w/out equipment
Strength: 78.12
Blocking: 72.28
Speed: 25.49
Agility: 28.71
Stamina: 35.62
Vision: 37.1
Confidence: 23.45

Pass Blocking Abilities
32238
Run Blocking Abilities
33333

My Plan
1)Assign all Skill Points to Blocking until I reach the Hard Cap of 77.28.
2)All training would be Wind Sprints for Agility/Speed.
3)All Bonus Points will go toward the Line Gen advanced equipment he owns.

I just recently began improving Agility and Speed. I understand the importance of Agility, but am I overvalueing Speed? Should I instead train Return Drills to focus on Agility/Vision?

Any advice is appreciated.

Holy crap. It's great that you've got line gen special equipment (note you say your build is without equipment but have left it in on the line gen SA ).

Your plan sounds good, speed/agility gives the best returns from training and you might as well get speed up to 30 at some point. When agility is up past 30 you can then spend SP in it to take it to the cap. Possibly after that, cap vision and train vision/confidence to get some more good training gains.

As for assigning skill points in the 5:1 range - normally I'd say this is overkill but you have your build so well sorted you can possibly get away with this - but bear in mind that many people are pushing agility on their C up to 60 now, and vision up to 48 min. Are you sure you want to continue in blocking, when you can cap vision, train agility for a bit and then double-cap agility.

Anyways, your build is great and you obviously know what you're doing so take my advice with a pinch of salt.

Go ahead and train spd/agi, but as mandyross mentioned you're going to want to switch very soon. Once those get to like 29/33, you should cap vision, then train vision/confidence. That can buy you an entire season, really, until confidence gets up to 30. Then if you cap agility, you still have vision/agility to train at good value, as well.


I'd make it your priority to cap vision/agility, atleast within the next season or so, to make sure you can utilize those training options. 72 blocking, albeit a bit low, will continue to rise on its own, and with the use of equip it looks like you could go 3:1 pieces and have 93/77 which really is fine I think. Eh, maybe you're right, a bit low on blocking, I just don't like spending more than 3:1 on anything but a great SA, ever.
