Just finished training agility / stamina just to get his stamina up a bit and now agility / tackling...Team owner is telling me to leave agility alone and just get tackling way way up.... told me FS's don't need agility...also when I was done training Agility / Tackling was going to switch to Strength / Tackling....figure Strength is better on ST's than Jumping considering the training combos and after which I can switch to Jumping / Catching and train confidence for shopping tokens...but instead I got called a noob....lol. I hadn't planned on doing much more than soft capping tackling tbh He's going to play on ST's as well...looking for AEQ with either Change Direction or Sup. Vision....

Someone set the record straight for me?

my real question is why did you focus so much on Speed? Your guys is really fast, but can't really do anything, even with the speed were it is, any TE or WR worth their salt will just side step your guy when they see him coming. You should start dumping as many points as you can muster in to Vision, Strenght, and either Tackling or Agility, despite what your team owner says, agility is an important skill for all safties, if you can't turn while running fast, then there's not point in having a speed so high. You might want to consider buying new standard equipment and refocus some of the bonuses until you can get those other skills higher, then put the speed ones back in. As for tokens, don't bother with shopping tokens yet, intense train your guy and save up those bonus tokens for AEQ upgrades. just my two cents

Speed will be his ultimate main...followed by Vision then Agility...my philosophy is to make sure you get at least one huge auto level bonus to one main....then focus on the stats to compliment it...(Vision / Agility)...once I finish with Vision ...Agility will be trained above 30 and could start getting points...but now I'm being told to get Tackling way way up instead....and I've seen him do just fine with his current agility...so I think your comment that "he can't do anything" isn't founded...and remember that he plays ST's...

I'd need to know you're playing stats before I can make a true assessment, but with an agility so low at a lvl 25 guy, I find it amazing that he's getting any tackles at all, I've got a lvl 18 SS and my speed is almost 20 points below yours, but all of the rest of my stats are almost double in the important areas, and my guy is having great seasons all around, last two games I've had 20+ tackles, 1 int returned for a TD and 1 FF that I recovered. But then again, you're taking your guy in a completely different direction then I am, if your focus is totally on special teams, then I guess you're going in the right direction. I'm talking my guy into zone coverage, and my team is using my guy on every ST kick return coverage as well as playing the rest of the field. As for your "know it all owner", if he's doing the same as you, focusing only on ST, then he knows more about it then either of us. This is the first time I've seen anyone take a Safety into an only ST direction.

Yea my guys is going ST build and I think after some more time he'll be a rock star....the owners FS is the guy with the 60 catching....to me that's ridiculous....how many INT's does he expect....and how many WR's does he plan to beat if he thinks they don't need agility? IMO catching is trainable to satisfactory levels and he should have invested those points into Vision and should be at least training agility...but according to him I'm a noob lol...

Agreed, you shouldn't put any points in catching, train them only, it's wasted points that could be utilized better.

SP to vision while training agility/tackling is what i'd do. My 25 is a similar build to yours , he's my second one retired my older one 2 seasons ago. I think you're on the right track personally , vision is VERY important for a FS.

Wow 61 in catching

Also dude remove his build info , that could get you in trouble around here if anyone cries.

Yea was planning on switching to Agility / Tackling after I got his Stamina up some....since he'll be running up and down the field on ST's.....and I'm not really worried about posting his build info but I see where you're coming from...lol...removed...I proved my point....

I'd keep going with vision to 73 then definitely agility - can't neglect that for too much longer.

You're being told to raise tackling?
Agility helps tremendously in the make tackle roll. Look there before worrying about tackling.
