I see a lot of posts on here in regards to DE's, vision, and tunnel vision. Just how important is vision to a DT?? Is it worth getting to the softcap or is that not necessary?

it's served me well to have high vision for my DT

I've consistantly ranked at the top (or very near the top) of tackles for all the DTs in my league. He's been great on goal line stops and this season has teared it up on kickoff coverage especially


I have strength and agility as the primarys
speed, tackling and vision are secondaries

Do you have agility softcapped? Just not sure if its worth taking to 48 or not. Right now I have str at the 2nd soft cap and almost have agility softcapped at 48 at lvl 11. Just not sure where to go from here.

Perhaps someone may have some input?

Player Attributes
Physical Attributes Football Skills
Strength: 71.29 Blocking: 12
Speed: 13.46 Tackling: 18.69
Agility: 41.69 Throwing: 8
Jumping: 9 Catching: 10
Stamina: 20.78 Carrying: 8
Vision: 12.84 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 12 Punting: 8

Plan on him being a pass rush DT so of course agility will get to the 48 softcap next, quite possibly the 60 softcap before anything else. What should speed get to? 35/40/45? Is it worth taking vision to the softcap?

Vision is somewhat important for a DE. I have fairly high vision and am doing well this season with my DE. I am agility based but have strenght soft capped. I would soft cap agility yes.

I'm sorry but I'm a little paranoid about giving out too much specific stat info about my player
maybe that seems lame but I'm still going to attempt to give you sound advice for your pass rushing DT

I'll say that continuing to increase strength isn't going to do a whole lot for you at this point.
If you want to be a pass rushing DT you'll need:
obviously some impressive agility
speed to get where you are going in a hurry
vision to take the best way to your target

don't neglect any single thing you think can help you
it's all about a good balance of attributes to make you a well rounded DT
jumping and blocking aren't necessary to become really high but I know that jumping can help your tackling range and chance to deflect passes

get speed up within fairly close range of the soft cap
speed is important but just as much as vision IMO
talk to your DL-mates and try to compliment their builds with your own

if getting quickly into the backfield is a DL priority then focus on higher speed and agility levels and build a unblockable 1-gap DT


softcapping vision isn't a priority and to me can get to a point where I feel that it doesn't need to continue to get much higher (when you start making heads-up plays on the opposite side of the field or on ST coverages all the time, then it's good)
but yours need to be a lot higher, just don't go all the way to the soft cap with it
without raising speed and tackling towards the soft cap as well

stamina eventually needs to be about double what you have
and confidence eventually should get up to about 30 so you don't get penalized in games
but raise those at a slower rate than the other attributes

Thanks for the input guidjibo. That really helps out alot honestly.
