Just made a Guard. Gonna aim for him to do well at pulling.

But besides that, are there teams out there that would like a build to edge a little more for one type of blocking over the other?

Would a team that is run heavy prefer a Guard that's less balanced but does really well at run blocking? I'm not even sure if the builds differ much between run and pass blocking besides the SA trees...

If you want him to be a great puller, I'd softcap STR, BLK, AGI, and VIS in order. SPD doesn't seem to be too important for pulling.

And if you're a pulling guard, the run blocking SA tree is the way you want to go. High AGI and VIS would probably compensate for having very few points in the pass blocking tree.

Gotcha.

What about teams though? Do GM/Owners even look for lineman that are more specialized?

Especially for RG.

Get a RG that can pull and a speed HB with vision. Good times ensue.
