Anyone had any luck with adding to their SA trees? I am about to hit lvl 20 and am still kind of puzzled with what to do about my SAs. I currently have 3s in all my run blocking and 22112 in my pass blocking.

Are you a RT or LT...

My goal with the SA's is to pick one or two of them and work them up to 10. They aren't overly effective until you hit level 5, I've noticed.

I have been playing right tackle. I am tempted to just put a ton of points into run blocking but I have heard no one ever say that they think it is a good idea.

I have the same question, and am faced with the same decision. I am a level 19 w/ 3 boost left. Now that strength and blocking are costing 2 SP, I want to build my SA. But don't know if its worth the SP. I was thinking maxing out Shock Block, but it says its effective on lower level players. I can handle most if not all lower level players so I don't know if that would be worth it. I thought about adding more to Pancake, I currently have 5 points in this attribute. But RT don't get as many pancakes do to their blocking assignments.

Most just don't know what SA will really help their OT. I would love to hear what people have done and how it worked for them.

You also can't have more than 2 pas the level before an ability (according to one the the builds faqs) meaning you shouldn't add to pancake unless you've been adding to shock block (hence the arrows, the building of the abilities in a sequential fashion).

What i want to know is if anyone has tried to just use their SA's in only run/pass block. I've been thinking about doing it with my guard once he hits 50/50 str/blocking but I don't want to get burned on it.

Hard to judge the SA's.. But i like the description of foundation and cut block, dont care that they are from different trees

I was thinking about jacking my pass blocking SA up pretty high to help with not giving up sacks. It has to help something right?
