So, I forgot this game existed (I have a sneaking suspicion I'm not the only one). And when I did I left some (a lot of) flex just laying around. Well, I remembered and now I really want to get back into the game.

Of course, I'm 22+ seasons behind (just in GLB2, add another 10-20 or so from GLB1 before this game launched) and have no idea how to build players in this new game with all the new attributes and specializations (though I have been reading a lot of advice threads). But, what I lack in experience I make up for in... Well, we'll get to that.

Why should this matter to you?

Well, if you're a team owner, or coach, coordinator, or part of some kind of group that's designed to build up players as a sort of feeder system (do they still have those networks?), I might be able to help you out. How? Well, remember all that flex I was talking about? I kinda feel like using it. To, say, build your team an entire secondary. Or, an entire CB core. But, I can do 2 CB and 2 Safeties if necessary.

Probably max out at 4 players, to be safe (I'm not entirely sure how far 20K+ flex goes these days... How much does it cost to fully boost a player their entire career?), so 4 CB's. They'll be boosted if I find a home for them. That shouldn't be an issue.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But, you just admitted to being 22+ seasons out of the loop". Yes. Which means "what I lack in experience I make up for in..." willingness to build players however your team needs in order to complete your defence. Want 4 man-coverage CB's, I can do that. Zone? No problem. Speedsters? Hey, why not? Don't need CB's? That I can't help you with... I might be persuaded to do LB's instead of CB's but I like CB's more.

I have no idea how to build these players so I have no ego in believing I know best. I'm here to help you shut down opposing passing games.

So, message me. I'm just fooling around with builds and creating players. Respec seems really helpful in case I've already messed up.

Okay few pointers... key stats on a cb are awareness, and deflecting, whether man zone or both! Intercept isn't worth a massive investment but I always like a small investment there by the end build
Defensive consistency to 50 if not making a S* is also vital, as it helps with good "rolls" on 3rd downs when the key passes happen.
In terms of physical, footwork should be slightly ahead of sprint and quickness for a cb, but theyou rent made as out and out sprinters as in GLB very often, it's not as effective a build. Some heart in there is good too, and you can add points as you wish to break run block, tackle skills, etc. One other pointer is no matter the position, conditioning is vital. It shouldn't be below 65 on any player for my books really. AdHD is hitting me right now so that's maybe a little bit all over the place but hope it helps!

In terms of the cost, here is the whole breakdown. The max is 3000 per player, so 20K should get you 6 easily.

With career boosts:
50 Flex Tier: 75 per boost*12=900 + 150 per career boost*4=600 + 250 per AP boost*3=750 = 50 + 900 + 600 + 750=2300
100 Flex Tier: 100 per boost*12=100 + 1200 + 600 + 750 = 2650
150 Flex Tier: 125 per boost*12=150 + 1500 + 600 + 750 = 3000

Without career boosts:
50 Flex Tier: 75 per boost*12=900 + 250 per AP boost*3=750=50+900+750=1700
100 Flex Tier: 100 per boost*12=100 + 1200 + 750 = 2050
150 Flex Tier: 125 per boost*12=150 + 1500 + 750 = 2400
