Should I be saving my BT?

% AEQ is going from +2% per upgrade to +1%. This means a max at +15% instead of +25%. Still useful, but stacking seems more necessary now and SA's are definitely a more attractive option.

I just ran the VPB for my FS. End-build will have 86 base Vision. I'll add 15 to the Football Genius VA, so about 93 Vision final.

I plan to use:
1] MT% ... should help his 50ish Strength and 70 Tackling; DvG VA, too.
2] Super Vision ... the +6 maxed plus the +1 to the tree should net a 9 in SV.
3] Closing Speed ... just the +6 from AEQ.

I'll most likely forgo the 4th piece of AEQ. I'll need the BT's for conversions/shopping.

83 base vision + 3 EQ, 15 FG, 10 in SV. He's been a pretty good dot.
I would recommend Change Direction instead of Closing Speed, though it really depends on what you want him to do. CD seems essential to not getting burned in man coverage at higher levels.
With 70 tackling I am not sure you will need DvG, though it is never a bad idea.

Anyone find Closing Speed to be worthwhile AEQ for a FS as a 4th piece?
I just got an endorsement including a +1 CS and hadn't considered it as a legitimate option before.

I find that the times when closing speed activates your FS is going to do a great job of getting about 5 yards closer to the play before another dot on your team makes the tackle. It could be useful if you feel that your build is a little low in the speed department, but if that is the case then maybe you have bigger problems...

Would 132 speed be low for a 439 day old? Thinking about going with CS or CD for the 4th AEQ now that the new % pieces are not as good and Zone Focus seems a waste.
-or-
I can use these 272 BT and upgrade everything else once or twice and ignore the 4th AEQ for now.
So far his 3 AEQ pieces are Superior Vision, % Make Tackle and % Intercept.

that seems a little low but it's probably passable. My FS had 135 speed and was very good, though that was before all the multi-trained dots. I personally love CD...it helps you in all phases of the game, especially if your DC is using you in man coverage. I would also trade in that %int for %PD or something at the end of S24.
