I have a level 54 receiving TE. He has had major issues with knock loose ever since they introduced it. I have slowly been working his STR and Carring to try and offset it. I have seen little to no improvement. Infact this offseason I put all 15 points from my boost into carring, I respected VA's and put 15 points into nerves of steel, and have put all 4 of my VA's earned this season into possession wr. Yet somehow my knocked looses have rose from 18 last year, to 25 already this season. My STR and carrying are still a bit subpar, but I am beginning to question the worth of Nerves of steel. Any ideas?

I currently have

50 STR
49 Carrying
15 Nerves of Steel
4 Possession WR

I did the opposite, putting 15 into poss rec to start the season and then each new VA point into nerves of steel. Been working on str and carry this season too but still have a ways to go appearently as my knocked loose drop total is over 25 on the season. I even used a few temp boost this season to get a +5 to carry. I think the sim still needs some work although admittedly many of my knocked loose drops occured when playing against higher level defenders. So if I was playing equal or lower level defenders only perhaps the knocked loose drops would be a more realistic number.

Next season I will reset some VA points to get nerves of steel up a little higher without lowering poss rec. I think I am only going to take nerves of steel up to 10 though as a 50% chance for a reroll is good enough for me, the rest of my VAs will go into Mr. Reliable. Then if I decide to boost, I'll put all the points into carry. Hopefully that and a little more strenght will be enough to keep the knocked loose effect in check.

Next VA reset, takes points out of NoS and max PR. Then work on NoS. NoS is just giving you another shot at a bad roll while PR is improving your roll. Keep on working up Carrying and Strength.

Take your carrying to 60. Since your TE is playing in Africa Pro where he can easily find opposition 10 levels above you, I don't think that he's doing that bad.

Thanks for the input guys. I am going to reset during the offseason and take 15 in possesion WR. The only reason I didn't put 15 at the beginning of the season is I allocated before I saw borts post regarding its affect. I assumed from the wording that it only helped KL inside of 8 yards. Which seemed less valuable. However being that it works everywhere, it seems much better than NoS. Been working up my STR and Carrying. I will get up to 60 next season and see what happens.
