anyone had a real good look at them?

i would like to get some opinions before i reinvest mine.

+attribute ones dont seem to be worth it anymore. confidence maybe, but not soccerstar

I agree, i had 15 Soccerstar, 15 Swagger, and 5 in Workout

now i have 15 Swagger, 15 Clutch, and 5 yet to be determined

I'm hoping Clutch works out well for me, but who knows

the +25% kickoff strength seems pretty badass in general to me. touchbacks are very underrated.

imo, the first two are pretty clear cut

- soccer star (there is and never will be "too much" kicking)
- booming kick (I like me touchbacks)

...after that it becomes fuzzy...

- clutch - well, works on 3rd/4th down especially late in a half. Does this work on 1st and 2nd down late in a half? That's key to this working out for a K as you need those game winning/tieing FGs'.
- laces out - it's nice, but I really wish it weren't just the 4th Q/overtime, that said a +45% to accuracy, +15% to kicking...well I think I'll still have to take some of this. wish it worked on KO's as well
- big heart - nice bang for a small buck. even 5 pts into it yields a nice return if you get down early it can help you claw back with FG's or ensure TB's.
- heart of a champ - more confidence is always nice
- hometown hero - more confidence is always nice
- overtime killer - combined with laces out could really yield massive results when needed...but how often will you need it?

I'm really considering going the Clutch route, then Soccer Star and Swagger seem to be no brainers. But being a starting K'er that plays the bench most plays, would Motivational Speaker be a good team benefit as well?

it's true you can never have too much kicking, but .03%? imo you can invest in something else which would be more beneficial to your kicker

and booming kick? at the end of the last season my kicker was kicking around 70% TB every game... how much will booming kick actually help? maybe one more TB a game? not really worth it either, unless your kicker is having trouble hitting TB's


that's why i went with swagger... even though it's half of what it's use to be, it's still better than the .03%, and you can never have enough confidence either

i also went with clutch b/c imo it's the next best thing... and even if it doesn't work on 1st/2nd downs, how many times are you going to actually kick on 1st or 2nd downs? once, maybe twice a season depending on your team... i think it's going to do more good than maxing out soccerstar will
