I know for OTs a good agi/speed helps alot, but for guards and centers i have heard that str/blocking should be around the same number.

Is this true? should you have a super huge str with a good blocking skill? or..is there some other good combo for the G/C spot?

i have a guy with 100 str but only a 69 blocking skill

Should i have him move some of his gear to blocking or is that ok to have?

Is there some other stat that is super important for a linemen for blocking? (i dont mean confidence/vis/stam..those are for general gameplay, not blocking specifically, and of course my guys have those)

BTW by "my guys" i mean guys i OC for.

just looking for general ideas. Im not asking for anyones specific build.

it is okay to have more strength - then he is just more of a mauler than a finesse blocker

I have a high level center I tried this out with. I had all his equipment in str, then all in blocking, then balanced it out. It really didn't matter what I did. he was still the same unmovable wall that he is.

I would say str is more important for Centers. but at least have 60-65 blocking.

My linemen are only lvl 14 atm but all of them are some big strong dudes. Then I took blocking up.

After that I split off into some other things like vision or agility. Or I spent some on SA. It really all depends on your offensive scheme. If you pass more and more you want more vision than speed. If you run a whole lot speed and agility are the way to go.

It depends which G you have and what kind of team you run.

If your team likes to pass, then both G are on blitz pickup duty. The first blitz is picked by the RG and the second by the LG. This make them (espiceally the RG) to be able to move quickly around the pocket.

Those for high level players (30+) you should have agility softy cap, vision and speed above 40.

In last season after the DC learned how to use the defense AI to effectively blitz, the athletic abilities of G became very important.

If your team like to run to the inside, strength is the best way to get pancakes and open holes.
