I've noticed a lot of debate regarding this. I've seen one player with a jumping CB, and he had some crazy INTs. Now my brother started a level 1 CB with slow building, hasn't put any SP in yet, and he has an INT vs a "normal" team. They were blown out 99-0, but it is rare that a CB gets an INT on a much higher level team. I'm going to keep tabs on him, but if he keeps it up I think there is a good chance that Jumping might be the new #1 attribute for DBs

Jumping could never be the #1 attribute because without enough speed/agility, your nothing to begin with. Jumping is definately helpful but you have to prioritize or get burned. Ive seen all jumping CBs who got toasted all day, they got alot of INTs, but what good are they when they give up passes all day long?

I agree w/ Matt. If you have SP/AG/ Vis all in line, jumping is a great additive and a good thing to train up while you work on the base. I wouldn't advise shooting for 50 jumping by level 3 or anything like that, though.
Then again, experimenting with wacky builds is part of the fun of GLB. One of my players is on an entire team of experiments.

I think jumping is a solid attribute but definitely behind speed, agility, and maybe even vision. I've already gotten all those up to the first soft cap at least, and now I'm working on my jumping.

I noticed a big difference when I got my jumping into the 30's as far as INT's go. I play on close/aggresive, I dont try to bait INT's.
So far this season I have 3 INT's for 3 TD's. 2 came against a scrub team, but the other came in a game we lost 13-10.
If I had to prioritize, Speed and Agility are king, they have to be. Vision is also imperative. Jumping I would place 4th on the list. Its important, but its more of a complimental attribute then a primary one.

See I dont like to play aggressive because it causes the CB to give up passes he otherwise may have deflected.

Primary attribute is different than only attribute. It's just the attribute you pump to the 2nd soft cap. So your finally build will be something like 70 jump, 50 speed, 50 agility, 30 confidence/tackling/confidence/catching/vision.

If you only have 50 speed/agility and 30 vision, you won't be close enough to the wr to out jump him. A high jumping build might work in the lvl 10-20 range, but once wrs get their 50+ agility, 70+speed and SAs, you won't be able keep close enough to them to make that high jumping have any effect.

Definately. 50speed/50agility/30vision/70 jumping?
That CB sucks.

actually I wouldnt say SUCKS, but I would say he would have a better chance if it was more like
60/50/50/40
I have three CB'S all built differently.
1st CB is high on SA, with about 80 speed and 30 jumping.. avg about 3 ints a year.
2nd CB is all about speed 90 speed, and KR SA, only had 2 ints in 3 years.
3rd CB is a little slower (60 sp), (53 agility)' however he has 40 jumping and led the league with 10 ints last year and is currently leading the league with 4 this year.
Therefore I would say speed is important, but there are others, i.e jumping/catching/vision, that could be jsut as if not more.

Yea I think a balance of attributes is the best/only way to go. When I say balanced, I dont eman all equal, but considerable amounts of all attributes.
Right now I am struggling most with an acceptable speed:agility ratio.
I am currently using about a 5:4 ratio and seems to be working well, but at times I see plays I feel could use some more agility.

Just a heads up, but I got my CB's jumping up close to the softcap now and I've noticed a pretty significant increase in my stats this season. I'm sure it's not all because of jumping but it has definitely made a difference.

I also saw some improvement in my CB's coverage when I got jumping over 30. Seemed like 30 was almost a threshold in fact. I'm not pulling down many INT's, but on close/medium I'm comfortable with the coverage.

I'd have to agree with this. I'd say 70/70/soft cap vision/boost SAs while training jumping. The first allows you to handle your coverage responsibilities, which are the most important thing to the position. The jumping is a bonus. Since hitting 30 jumping, I have three picks in the last three games. Coincidental, maybe, but something worth watching.
