What builds out of balanced, possession, power, and speed are the best? and what exactly is a power wr?

power would be one that can break tackles with strength/carrying/va's/sa's

there is no real best...depends how you use them and what you want from them

how come no1 every really talks about balanced receivers?

Because they are boring

Because balanced receivers are far and away the best, and those who have them don't want to reveal that secret to the GLB public, lest everyone have a dominant receiver and they eventually get nerfed into oblivion.

Idiot has two Cbs on the WR forum. GG
In reality he knows that pure speed WRs are one trick ponies, possession receivers are too slow to consistently be a threat, and power receivers plain and simple suck.

lol.

I just built a new WR, anything else to add? Not sure what the advantages of each are... I guess possession are for catching/holding onto the ball, power break tackles...what else?

So you're saying a receiver with 3 capped speed, agility, catching, and 2 capped vision, strength, carrying, + SAs will be good?? What a surprise!!

Everyone that builds a power WR does it the wrong way, so they seem to suck.

Hint: STR should NOT be your first stat, but your last stat. To get a good power WR build, you have to ignore STR until a few seasons in.

This is true but my guy is an experiment just to see what they do.

If I was doing it properly, I'd probably go carrying first which gives the best natural gains, then probably soft cap agility, speed, vision, confidence and catching before launching everything from there on in to strength.

That's what I always thought, so it's nice to see someone else with the same plan.
This season I'll be training on strength as at level 43 it's basically in the low teens.
There are many ways to lose that catch, and having them jackhammered out is now
a reason to AT LAST get your strength up there.

I like having a balanced build for my WR. Enough speed that he can move, but he can actually catch the ball. Just gotta up his jumping some more and his strength. Maybe some carrying.
