Here's a build guide for pass rushing DE. A little out dated but still a good one
originally posted Rage Kinard
Here is a n example build plan for a DE. Not the DE I would build since I like strength based, however, it is an example of a build plan that is fairly efficient.
Keep in mind, that this is not maximized efficiency, and you would still need to make some slight adjustments because of training breakthroughs during the build process. I also found after running it through builder that I had too many BT for a 3 AEQ build and not enough for a 4 AEQ build. So I should probably either enhance my attributes for training more, or cash in some BT for sp during the build process, or start light training a season earlier and sacrifice a little in the major attributes.
I'm posting this more for instructional purposes, just to show the less experienced players the thought process behind more efficient building, and to show the projected outcome of following that plan.
Make him 6-4 and 246 (That will be -2 agility, +1.4 speed)
Put 15 points in speed and 8 in vision. He will start at 26.4 speed & 20 vision.
enhance speed 10%
light train speed and enhance to 20%
light train speed 3x and enhance to 30%
switch to intense training. After that it is going to kind of depend on when and where you get training breakthroughs. However once you are 28.4 or higher and a good training % (above 80) then you want to boost 1x and cap at 48.9. Just make sure that you do it before season rolls over (in this case it would be tonight). Train out until D48, then boost the other 2x.
After you hit level 5, and before you hit level 6, 2nd cap at 61.4.
Switch to normal training.
At level 8 and before hitting level 9, 3rd cap at 68.9.
Buy agility and tackling for multi-training. Then enhance both to 30%. If you can't get both there right away make sure agility is 30%, and then get tackling there when you can.
At level 10 cap speed at 73.9. (You may want to stop training while at 69.9 with a high training % rather than rolling over to 70.9 and having to cap at a low %.
At level 12 cap at 77.9
On day 39 cap at 81.4. While at level 15.
On or before D48 cap at 83.9 at level 16.
Boost 3 times before season ends
During pre-season, cap agility at 49.0.
At level 22 cap tackling at 48.98. - Boost 3 times and cap agility at 61.51
Unlock strength for multi-train and enhance 5x.
While at level 28, cap agility at 68.63.
During next preseason while at level 32, cap agility at 73.84.
At level 34 cap strength
At level 36 cap agility
At level 37, 2nd cap tackling and then boost 3x.
At level 41, 81 cap agility.
During preseason, 2nd cap strength.
(Now it is going to depend on training bonuses, when speed rolls over to 95, then switch from speed to vision, you are going to train with vision in the 4th spot 2x if you get a bonus and roll over you may want to train it a little extra. Then switch to Stamina 10% enhanced)
At level 43, cap agility (it may be 83.5 or it may be 84.0 if you have had enough training bonuses)
At level 45, cap vision
At level 49, cap strength, boost 2 more times and cap strength again it should be 73.68 at level 51. Make sure to boost by day 48.
Once stamina is over 30 and is trained over 80% switch to training confidence in the 4th spot without enhancing.
At level 53, cap strength to 77.96.
At level 56, cap strength to 81.38.
Once confidence is over 25 and over 80% trained switch to jumping.
Before D48, boost 1x and 83 cap strength. Boost 2x and 85 cap strength.
At level 63, 2nd cap vision. You can then start assigning sp to stamina.
Once agility trains over to 91.91, switch to 3 way training jumping, strength, tackling.
When tackling rolls over switch to light training strength. Make sure to boost before D48. You can boost during season if you want.
Boost in pre-season and 2nd cap stamina. (you can start applying sp to SAs after this is done)
Keep light training strength until it rolls over to 90.76.
Light train vision until it rolls over.
Light train stamina until it rolls over.
Normal/light train jumping until it rolls over.
Normal train confidence the rest of the way.
Apply sp for SAs and equipment points where you want. This has 61 sp for SAs and is a 3 AEQ build. Probably be able to convert some BT for sp. You can probably get more efficient, and training bonuses will throw it off a little bit in places so you will have to adjust a little while building. You could also switch to relaxed training a season earlier to go 4 AEQ.
