Which should be primary(Strength or Blocking)? I know both are important. Just before I create my next batch of lineman and helpers(TE & FB, WR), I'd like to know which attribute should be primary for run blocking. Thank you. It's truly appreciated.

Strength or Blocking?

Strength, by some distance.

As a longer answer, I started out my most recent dot like this: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2472167

And next plan to get Agility up to 83-85 before anything else. I think this is a pretty standard build direction to give a general idea, although it is likely that other agents are doing it better than this dot.

I'm noticing that agility helps out a lot on O linemen with blocking. Strength is first, and blocking is very good, but you need speed to get to your spots and agility/vision to get to the best blocking position. However, agility helps with the actual block, while vision does not. Confidence also helps, but that generally helps every position.

I would go: strength, agility, blocking, speed, vision, confidence/stamina (with majors getting +1 for build purposes)

For run blocking O-linemen this would become: strength, blocking, agility, vision, speed, confidence, stamina
For pass blocking O-linemen this becomes: agility, blocking, strength, vision, speed, confidence, stamina (LOTs, IMO)

STR/AGI/BLK, like lucifer said. I'm noticing that people get AGI up to 90+ natural nowadays (as well as STR and BLK, but that was already common).
