Watching the replays of my last few games I see my ROLB runnings slowly in circles or weaving looking lost trying to find where the play is. Instantly backing up 5+ yards as soon as the ball is snapped reguardless of run or pass play, which puts him well out of position at times to get to the ball. Rarely any explosiveness off the start.

Strength: 35.29 Blocking: 18.01
Speed: 53.43 Tackling: 35.02
Agility: 50.58 Throwing: 7
Jumping: 17.33 Catching: 15.44
Stamina: 30.8 Carrying: 7
Vision: 50.35 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 30.28 Punting: 8

I just put 2 SPs in vision(soft capped no equip.) and 1 in agility. I have one boost left to spread 5 points around. Anyone have suggestions on where I should put them? I was thinking Agility and confidence would fix this. Any thoughts?

If he is running backwards that is the Dcor bad play calling... many coordinators don't put in situational tactics so your guy is dropping for medium coverage. Unless you have extraordinarily high vision to make pre-snap reads... it's the Dcord that is doing that to you.

Wouldn't that count for the sub also then? Because thats not the case.

If thats true, then I have real no clue. I'm D-cor for a new team and I have to gameplan heavy to the point of blitzing for run stopping situation because of lack of vision. That shouldn't be an issue for you though.

I'd be curious if the sub has more speed/agility. I've noticed slower CBs will play back and move back at the start of plays when they are going into coverage to compensate for being slower.

His speed is +10 of mine but his agility isnt near the soft cap and his vision is not where it should be. You know by his build I would expect my probs to be his, lol. We dont blitz much though. Its mostly coverage. I'll talk to my DC and see whats going on. I wish Bort would make the change so that players on the team can "view only" the gameplan settings. It'd help so much with building your players.
