This is my first attempt at a QB. Wondering what build advice some of you vets might have to make him better next time. Have had no luck catching him on with a human led team. He has had a career in CPU leagues.

80-cap strength (83 if you will have the SP)

get stamina and agility to 60 cap, speed to at least 50

wait on SA's until done putting SP into attributes - goes for all players

Speed is important for dropping back fast enough to get the throw off before you get killed. Agility is for passing mechanics and 'Turn the shoulder'. In fact, you could go with just 1st cap speed (48) and more agility. And yeah... SA's at the end and not before.

The SP usage isn't as bad as it appears as some come from his equipment. I appreciate the advice. I was starting to think no one played this game anymore. All my forums have been dead for a long long time.

Right now I am multi training carrying, vision, confidence and strength. Should I replace vision and confidence with speed and stamina now?

Confidence is slightly less important than Vision IMO. I'd stick with vision and replace Confidence with speed for now. Once you get vision to 90, then I'd switch to stamina there.
I suspect there are some that would say you have enough vision already. I think it helps not only spot the open man but also with pass accuracy as well.
As far as Stamina goes, this REALLY depends on your team system. If you run the standard 2 QB throwing system, then you don't need as much (can short yourself around 55 and do just fine). If your team does the 1 Pass/1 Run QB, then you need 60ish stamina. If you're the ONLY QB (a 1 QB team style) then you really should push the stamina higher... like to 65-70+. It's all about the usage.

I would definitely lose Hard Count VA in the off season as well. After tracking it for two seasons on a couple teams where QBs were sporting it, it fired a grand total of 4 times, on ALL games (pre/reg/post season). Looks like in your 16 games so far, it's fired once. And that's assuming it actually was the factor causing those encroachments, and not JtS on the defender? Laser Arm (+pass) or Football Genius (+vis) seem much better value, HC is just basically pissing away 15 Vet points IMO.

100% agree with Theo about the speed part. The read progressions are really stalled until you hit your dropback point, and it makes running any screen passes with your guy a wasted play as well.

This is what I would follow

I appreciate the advice and have begun implementing all of the ideas. I am usually a Def or O-line builder. Just got a notion to try a marquee for a change. I actually caught on with a team after this thread and had to close up my build. I will probably be back asking advice again.

Feel free to post or PM some of the guys. The forums are a bit dead for the most part but some guys do still make the effort to help out.

I knew it was dying the moment they did the "another free player with any purchase" promotion. I spent way too much $$ here awhile back. I think the pricing was a bit high for such a transient thing. I had to stop playing for cash when other real life stuff came up. Good to see peeps are still around though.
