I was wondering if I should put my 15 points come next season into agility still, or put them into getting vision to the first cap?

Well, alot of people say to take agility to 73 for a returner. So that probably isn't a bad idea if you boost every season.

Definitely need to start training carrying/confidence/strength tho

Definitely train str/carrying for a LONG time. Try to avoid spending SP's in them until much later so you can reap a ton of benefits from low stat training. I'd train until they're in the high 30's.

Confidence I'm personally not a fan of. Even with a fumble, if all the return man is doing is exclusive special teams related, morale isn't a huge factor. Even if people vouch for it, I'd argue str/carrying is a bigger priority. You will kill your team with fumbles if you don't.

Vision..my CB dont have the speed or agaility but a lot higher vision.
Vision is very important att with return guys.

I never really liked vision, especially this season. Return men are a bit more dumb and only run in a straight line. It's the season of the power return man imho. Strength/carrying would be a much bigger priority to me.

I have been training carry/confidence recently and I have confidence up to 30, so I am gonna switch and train strength/carrying for AT LEAST the rest of this season and all of next season.

I think I am going to put the SP into getting agility to 73, train strength/carrying, and save the rest of the SP throughout the season for getting vision bumped up.

Thanks for the advice. Let me know if you have anymore though.

That sounds like a good idea

youll need carrying to eventually be about 3rd cap, maybe 68 or so. soft cap it by the time you are in the 40s levels or about 2 seasons from now.

Juke is useless. It never triggers and I encourage someone to show me replays of a CB from this season proving me wrong.

Spin is your best bet because unlike Juke, at least it works! A friend of mine on the Addicts board swears by it. Plus, the special teams sim has been degraded back to being a power return game. Return men are too stupid to do the fancy moves like they did a few seasons ago (replays of what I mean available on request).

My CB return man had max Clever Instincts, max Return Man, Man Special Teamer, +7 Quick Feet, +10 Juke (yes, 10!), 83 agility, 61 vision, and 69 carrying. He's an ideal Juke candidate, yet he never triggered it once. Complete waste of shopping time and equipment funds. Stay away at all costs.

here you go
A cb juking another CB on a PR

No More Shines Billy gets juked right before my Cb makes his cut to the left for the open field
It helps when you have the changed direction SA pretty high

I have more but to lazy o look for them...and by the way my CB does not have the juke SA

also I have to thank the high vision...my strength is under 30...my speed is under 90...
