I found it funny that there's a thread that says to stop trying to develop a formula to get a good CB, because this is the formula I've been generally using for my CB. Note that this is not for a speedster but a shutdown CB.

So, what's the 70/80 rule?

Your agility/vision should be roughly 70% of your speed, and your stamina about 80% of your agility/vision.

Hence:

For example, at about level 24:

65 speed
45.5 agility
45.5 vision
36.4 stamina

At about level 16:

50 speed
35 agility
35 vision
28 stamina

Now of course this is not perfect and doesn't work at very low or probably very high levels, as obviously you'll want to firstly get stamina etc up first. But hey, it's what I use and I'm pretty happy with it.

Are you playing on Normal or Hard with that stamina?

The above is better suited to normal. If you want to play hard, I'd add a couple of points more onto stamina.

Where did this 70/80 rule start?

No kidding. If you played man-to-man all game on Hard with 28 stamina you'd be panting on the sidelines by the end of the game.

Yep. Though, that means you'll probably see less plays on the field, so it sorta evens out a bit.

Like I said in my post, this is the method I use and it generally balances things out pretty well for me.

Heh, I thought someone might bring that up. Talk about poor timing . But like I said, it's for a shutdown CB, and not a speed CB. I was asked to set for close coverage and I did. The opponents were much faster, and that was the result.

There's a lot of advice out there, and the only way to figure out whose is best is to actually watch replays...

Maybe you just got unlucky that play.

You keep thinking that. I play on hard every game and end up with anywhere from 50-65 plays. I only have 29 stamina and I am at 100% energy for the next game every time.

i have 36 stamina and play on hard and i'm down to below 85 energy after relaxed training. Anyway if 28 stamina works to get you 100 energy before the game then id do that but unfortunately for some corners it doesn't work.

I think anything over 30 ia a waste in stamina.

I don't understand how this could be. Everybody's Energy is based on Stamina right? And unless you are playing a great deal more plays than me (which I doubt because I play 50-60 a game) then why can't you be at 100 Energy for every game? Not saying you are lying, just don't understand how this is possible. I usually don't even go below 80.

If any of you got to see Serenity's CB's build (very successful), then I think you would be surprised about just how important a couple of the attributes are.

Well PM me or something please fill be in on Serenity's build, I know there wasn't a huge stress on stamina but that is about it!

I completley disagree.
