Warrior General Games

Here's where I stand right now @ level 12:

Physical Attributes Football Skills
Strength: 49.5 Blocking: 53.5
Speed: 23.43 Tackling: 12.2
Agility: 23.38 Throwing: 7
Jumping: 8 Catching: 12.2
Stamina: 19.2 Carrying: 19.5
Vision: 17.3 Kicking: 9
Confidence: 12.2 Punting: 7

No points in any of the specials. Equipment is +4 strength, +4 blocking (included in numbers above).

Aside from maxing out my strength, anyone suggest where the next points should go? I'm assuming my speed and agility need some work, but my vision is pretty low as well.

I run the offense on the team, so I can say that the goal is for this guy to never carry the football.

I will eventually dump some points into the specials, particularly Lead Block, but any thoughts on the stats?

I would say speed

You need to be fast enough to stay in front of your HB in order to lead block effectively

Speed-To stay in front of your HB
Vision- To see blitzing backers or other defenders
Agility- For when you do rush the ball to make cuts, or take cuts at defenders
Confidence- People overlook this attribute.. this will help keep up your stats when you miss a block or fumble or get tackled for loss.

I had guessed that I was going to up my speed, was probably going to get to the 30-35 range and see how that works out. He can already get to the hole and into space now as the lead blocker decently @ 23.5 speed, so I will increase it a bit and see how that works.

On agility, I'm wondering if I even need to spend SP on it. It raises .5 per level on a FB so by the time I'm around 24th level, it's already going to be around 30.

I'm switching up my training to confidence now because it's so low and the return is so high. I think vision might be my next item to tackle after I get speed to the 30-35 range.

base your agility and speed off the guy you are blocking for. For example it requires less speed to block for a power back than an illusive

blocking and strength should be high since you're pretty much like an extra and more mobile Lineman but your speed should be at least 2/3 of the HB on your team since he shouldn't have to wait to hit the hole since you should have enough speed to lead him through before the hole closes.... also agility and vision should be high... basically build him like you would for a G but with speed.... and you don't need carrying or running SA's since he's a pure blocking guy!

You're really not having trouble with only 19 stamina?

Right now he's averaging 38 plays per game at FB playing Hard. The number of plays is more of a team playcalllng choice than a limitation on him. I imagine I'll need to add to that number as I level up and playing takes more stamina, but he's been able to train on Normal and get back to 100 energy all year.

Here is my pure blocker.

I wont open him up, but I plan on the same as you. Str is in the 60's and blocking is in the 40's. Str is better to have then high blocking in my opinoin.

You may want to get some SA's. I did a few in the blocking tree, and as you can see from my replay, I have found the thin line to have enough to not get outrun by the hb.

There is example of how my guy lead blocks. The hb btw leads the league in rushing. A good O-line, good TE, and good fb can take your running game far.

Fucking beautiful!

Here is my blocking FB

Str-42
Blk-40
Spd-33
Agl-30
Sta-25
Vis-21
Con-21

I'm going to add FP into the blocking ability tree and get some special equiptment soon. I found that under the old OFF play calling system (current because I don't think the new system is up yet) that my guy was missed used. He was sent out in pass patterns and had way too many carries on 1 and 10.

I'm hoping that as the game evolves, the specialized players (blocking FB, blocking TE, huge Ted Washington run stuffing tackle) will see their value increase.

here goes my lvl 15 blocking back

Strength: 36.02 Blocking: 41.85
Speed: 32.05 Tackling: 12.8
Agility: 26.55 Throwing: 7
Jumping: 9 Catching: 12.8
Stamina: 31.25 Carrying: 21
Vision: 30.32 Kicking: 9
Confidence: 13.27 Punting: 9

4-5-2-1-1

Just going to train on confidence til I get it up to at least 20 then next 5 points spread it on strength, agility, and blocking.

which do you think is more important to a blocking FB? Strength or blocking?



its a hard choice, strength to put people on their ass, or blocking to make sure people dont get by....

Strength is WAYYYYYYYY over rated for a FB IMHO.
I want a guy to PRODUCE...feel free to watch film on
the Baddest Blocking FB in GLB......

~Knockin' Skullz~ Lv.18

http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1473

The 3RB's that Skullz blocks for have combined for 1664yds & 17 TD's
on way to an undefeated 7~0 record.
PRODUCTION.

Just an example...& he does the same thing to lv.20 LB's.

Another over-rated one is Stamina.
Skull runs over 60+plays a game on Hard.

.........this concludes the Raider5280 Public Service Announcement.

Your blocking and strength are a little low for a level 18 fb. You are border line rushing/blocking fb.

I do agree that sta is overrated. You do not need more then 30.

Here I had to block 3 people, however bam bam still made the tackle. This tells me I need more str and blocking to push them back.
