my carrying is still pretty low.... any advice on this?

Train it for a while if you're worried about it. Can't hurt.

I trained my carrying on my TE all last season. It's important if you don't want to cough up the ball, especially since your guy looks more like a receiving TE than a blocking TE.

I would raise your Confidence & Carry to 20.

My TE has a carrying at 12.88 and with 71 rec, and almost 3 seasons ( well this being my 3rd) I haven't had one fumble, so I would say leave it, and add skill points into more important attributes.

I say train it to upper teen's...

Depends really who U play and where you play..

Confidence is key for like a drop pass.. And clutch plays...

I had mine at 12 for the longest time, but I just coughed up my first Fumble. I'll be training it now.

This season you don't need much carrying for your TE; but next season you will. They are making changes to stop 'super-builds' and are making carrying more important, and they have suggested that a TE will need about 20-25 in it next season.

How about drops?

How about drops?

1 10 20 190 19 9.5 63.5 3.2 2 6
2 17 51 543.5 32 10.7 154.5 3 3 5
3 13 38 290.5 22.3 7.6 80.5 2.1 3 4
Career 40 109 1,024 25.6 9.4 298.5 2.7 8 15

thats his TE's stats...15 drops total...

13th post down, treat for the build readers...

15 drops with only 109 catches in 40 games, that's 14%, My level 23 TE has 12 drops and 135 catches over 38 games, 9%.

His build

Strength: 47.6
Blocking: 45.63
Speed: 35.49
Agility: 33.42
Jumping: 19.86
Catching: 45.75
Stamina: 35.66
Carrying: 25.33
Vision: 31.8
Confidence: 25.18

I would suggest building carrying and confidence for sure, maybe some more vision

but isn't carrying to prevent fumble? (when you have already the ball)

to prevent drop TE need catching and other.


PS...for drops...SA like Sticky Hands help?
I think yes.
this season 46 rec and 2 drops with carrying 14.99 and sticky hands 4

PS2...even opponents are important for drops...if they are too strong

Yeah, but Bort also made it known recently that carrying also helps you break tackles too. So if you are a very strong TE with some lower shoulder ability, it's especially helpful to train your carrying up to 25+. I wouldn't go nuts with it, but a carrying of 12 is worse than useless.

The reason I have so many drops is my first season 6 drops in 20 rec
but if you look last season my drops where about 10%
and this season as well...my first season this site wasn't anything like it is now, pro teams where stilled owned by cpu, so i didn't know what to do to prevent drops

before I learned about the new carrying adjustments mine was extremly low, around 10, yet I have never fumbled the ball...I have been working on it lately along with confidence
