I present you Brad Meester. My focus on him was to triple cap both strength and blocking. Now after auto level gains, strength is 74(5-1 cap) and blocking is 72(4-1 cap). That brings me to 86 strength with level 16 equipment.

Now I don't want to mess up his build by double capping when its not needed. I'm not saying its good or not because I really don't have fcking clue. I'm training vision and confidence until it becomes useless. After boosting, I have 7 points left to use. Should I hold on or aim agility to the 3-1 cap??

New question with this player on page 3:

After double capping agility, I'm left scratching on if double capping vision is the way to go. I'll like to continue to train with the speed + stamina combo at least until my next level up, which won't be for a few more games.

jagmind, I see a lot of NT's with 80-90+ agility....I'd think that 60 is a bare minimum.

Alright, I have heard that the more inside on the line, the less agility that is needed. I agree, my own NT has over 85 agility but I thought that the blocking helped those with lower agility, wanted to gather some opinions.

generally speaking your C is going to engage at the line of scrimmage and won't get too far down field, and since the NT will be engaged in double team blocks most of the time you shouldn't need to double cap agility right away. My advice would be to use your points now to get stamina up next. At only 24 your guy is going to wear down quickly so those 7 points would be perfect for that.

So my Lv 18 DT would demolish your center in terms of agility (completely dominate) and strength (well, its almost a push). Though your 72 blocking should help big time. This should give you an idea of what you would be up against.

I would say, agi to 60. When you hit that, think of switching to speed/stam or conf/stam training and getting your vis to 48, then conf to 60.

NEVER put SPs into Stamina, train it or leave it!

For centers, agility can wait to second cap after blocking and strength have been second capped. That's what i did for mine. I kinda switched gears for my cventer and started training speed and stamina, while putting points in agility...we were low on OTs and I was the 3rd streng center, so i was the backup RT. Worked well. The extra agility and speed helped on screen plays. Also, the agility helped keel the OLBs and Des from shedding blocks.

Bascally, agility is the kryptonite for shed block. Its a good thing to have, expecially since DTs/NTs have LOTS of shed block andf agility. S you have to look to get close to what they have. kinda like FBs tryiong to stay within 20/25 points (or better) of speed ffrom the HBs they block for.

Everybody saying to put SP in stamina makes me laugh. Agility to 60 is the clear choice right now, and do it as fast as you can. Best way to get well into the 60s without ever spending 3:1. You'll be glad at level 45 when you have 65+ agility

60 is not enough -- triple cap it for pass coverage while your train speed and stamina

Well I agree about stamina, I'm big on training combos, so stamina and speed is magically for me. Focusing on vision and confidence atm though.

Thanks though, it seems like the general thought is agility to 60 is the right move. Helps counter agility DTs

60 is too much? Once again, at level 45, you'll wish you did it sooner, when you inevitably have nothing left to do and are currently taking agility to 60.

A center can realistically make 12-caps. What do you choose? I'd choose 3 str, 3 blk, 2 agi, 2 vis, 1 conf, 1 spd. I'd give up speed, confidence, 2nd vis all before the 2nd agi. That makes agi60, though possibly behind vis48, one of the most vital caps to do soon in your career.

i'm taking AGI to 68.
for a C, there's just nothing else to logically spend the SP on.
no point in ruining the good training for SPD/STM.
taking VIS to 60 is an option, but why not have 68 AGI?
a good NT is going to have alot more than that.
