http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1384303well youre right... you do seem a little all over the place. his build is fairly balanced for his level... which is good for his level, but later on it will start to take a toll on the overall build. your guys is till recoverable though. you made some mistakes, but so did i with my lvl 56 CB, and i think he turned out just fine (96 INTs isnt too shabby). first get that speed up to 68 natural. same for agility. then i would pump vision to at least 60 (you'll want it at 68 eventually, but in lower leagues, 60 is adequate.) then work on jumping at least to 48, but i would personally take it to 60. catching can then also be brought to 48, but this is really optional. depends on if you want INTs or if you want to be more shutdown. if you want more shutdown, you can avoid catching, especially since you already have it pretty good. as for tackling? you can maybe move that up to 48, but i think you'll be good with where you have it for the rest of your career. stamina is good for now. around level 30, start thinking about training it (probably with confidence) and get it to 40+. and then strength? train this on normal for shopping tokens. i took mine to 50 for jackhammer, but if you dont want jackhammer VA, then about 35-40 should be fine. especially since you have decent tackling. When youre all done, or at least feel confident about where your attributes are, you can move onto SAs. You have custom in shutdown. thats good since your best SAs are in shutdown. to give you an idea of how your SAs should look, i would recommend aiming for something like this.
7-3-5-3-5
4-4-0-0-0
hopefully, with your AE search, you can find a SV and SDC piece and that will eventually bring you to:
7-3-10-3-10
4-4-0-0-0
and as for your normal EQ. there are a variety of proven ways to split it up. some people put it all in speed (which i think is fine, but you'll need some more FS and QD to make up for the lack of agility.) some people split it between speed and agility. I think this works best, aim for speed and agility to 10 apart (i.e. 95/85) or you could even go with what longhorn would recommend and go 90/90.
