This is an honest question. 70? 80? 90? 100?

Lets assume I'm at the point where even if I boosted 3 times, I could possibly get strength up maybe 3 points. I don't think its even worth it at softcaps that harsh.

how high do you think strength should go before I move on to other attributes (i.e. vision/agility/tackling/confidence, etc. etc)

personally I plan on stopping once I hit that +4 cap and then working on other things.

I've not seen increased production from the NT slot when you're pushing past the 3-cap. I think you'd possibly be better served to spread those points around.

keep in mind that the 3:1 cap is around 60. Boosting 3 times will get to you close to the 4:1 cap at 68, then if you boost 3 more times, you wil get to 72 or 73 or so.

Boosting 6 times for like 15 attribute points is a bit ridiculous, IMO.

Other abilities are more important. If you soft cap around lvl 5 or 6 and have your eq there it will be int eh 70's and 80's by level 20, upping agi to soft and having high stam and tackling is also important.

Strength: 81.37 --------- Blocking: 19.84
Speed: 31.65 ---------- Tackling: 37.77
Agility: 51.63 --------- Throwing: 9
Jumping: 9.47 -------- Catching: 7
Stamina: 41.56 --------- Carrying: 10
Vision: 32.64 --------- Kicking: 7
Confidence: 23.02 --------- Punting: 8

Where would I go from here, as an NT I get double teamed a lot and that extra strength is vital to get out of the blocks.

Getting out of blocks is nice, but when you're double and triple teamed every play, it's just a nice to have. You need to eat up blocks to free up the LBs and be able to shed them if a runner is in your tackling zone.

I'd focus on speed with your SPs until you hit the soft cap, then hit the next cap on agility. Focus your training on jumping (increase your tackling zone) and blocking (to shed blocks).
