Pocket Passer By The Way.

Which is better?

Agility Or Confidence?

I'm Asking This Question Because I've Struggled To Make A Good QB.

people may not agree but IMO agility. I like taking agility over 70.

people used to take confidence to 80+ But since people found out it didnt make as much of a difference so its been dropping down. They tweaked it awhile back but I think most take confidence anywhere between 1st cap and 3rd cap.

You don't even own a QB man. Confidence is not better than agility.

If you're talking about me. I've actually had qb's in the past but retired all of them because they suck.

Level 20 and level 11. There's your problem.

imo...

playing without agility is like being stuck in a hole. You need "X" amount of rope to get you out of the hole, but having twice as much as you need doesn't really do you any more good.

how much agility do you need? that's going to depend on a bunch of variables, and about the only one you can control is your speed. If you have more speed you can get by with less agility.

confidence on the other hand, is completely different. If everything else on the player stayed the same, more confidence would get you better results. The trick is everything else on the player can't stay the same because the more you dump into confidence the less you have to invest in everything else.

Because you're talking about a Pocket Passer (not a Deep Passer) I'd suggest hitting it as the 4th attribute, and 2-cap it, and then let the ALGs take it up.

On a Deep Passer, Agility, Stamina, and Confidence are all minors. I'd probably do Stamina with quick 1-cap, so it could grow. 5th, I'd hit Agility with a 2-cap and let it grow. After that it's a matter of seeing where you're at with SPs so that you can get all of the SAs you need, get as much Speed as you can squeeze in (1-cap bare minimum), and then figuring out how much Confidence you can stuff into the middle, which would probably be about a 3-cap, maybe 4 if you've been efficient.

edit: fwiw.. this sort of thing comes up pretty often in the "Rate my Player" forum. http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread_list.pl?forum_id=68&team_id=0

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the person I quoted

1st cap for confidence is not a good thing. That's where many meltdowns happen. Agility is pretty important, but I'd rate Confidence the same or higher.

End game I'd suggest either 73 or 77 agility whereas endgame confidence I would suggest 77 or 81 (probably could stop putting sps in confidence around 70 and let ALGs/training do the rest and see where it gets you)

I have an alright level 79 QB that I definitely messed up on. (first QB)
but I learned a lot building him, and one thing I learned is that I took confidence too high too fast while neglecting better ways to use my SPs. I also didn't train as effectively as I could have throughout his career.

You don't need 77 to 81 confidence. Capping confidence at 60 will do you just fine.
