My FS is getting burned on deep plays more often than I would like. This play is a representative example: http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=139696&pbp_id=9874525

My first thought upon looking at it is that I need some more points in Agility and maybe 1-2 more in Change Direction. Does anybody have some advice?

Looks like you need speed and vision, maybe work on the related SA's.

So you'd say speed and vision before AGI? Both are already above the second soft cap and I have 5 Super Vision.

Speed, super vision, closing speed. Closing speed is amazing!

Ugg. That's the answer I've been getting. But I really, really don't want to put points into Growl and Big Hit.

How often does this happen? What is your agility?

The play happened early in the game, so I doubt stamina is an issue.

If you don't want to put points into two other SA's to get to closing speed then I don't think there is anywhere else to look.

This is a pathing issue. Right now, the FS is not allowed to play deep, but forced to a spot 3-5 yards sideways away from the deep WR. Naturally, that 3-5 yards need to be catched up later on...

If you don't like that pathing, please support here:

b.t.w.: right now, the only thing you can do is add even more speed - so the FS can catch up easier after the catch (since the FS isn't allowed to play closer, that's all you can do)
