Warrior General Games

Even better, I'll probably be doing that with my CB's.

I'd say if you're wanting SA's my suggestion would be Super Vision to 6 raw. I've noticed Sticky Hands has worked well for a not so great CB, so that would be my 2nd choice. I'd definitely 2nd cap Speed/Agility first, and cap Vision/Jumping before spending any points in SA's.



At the season 2/3 break, I talked to a number of the top CBs in the game, and they all lauded Shutdown Coverage. Every CB is going to get blown away occasionally due to head fakes/juke moves, etc. That doesn't mean a SA is failed.

If you have the correct attributes as I mentioned before, then you will have 0 use for Shutdown Coverage SA imo.

Shutdown coverage is too far down there, costs too many SP and wasting in smooth operator in my opinion. I've never been called for pass interference ever and I have 3 CB's who are always on Closest range to WR. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

If you boost/Custom or your major attributes cost 3-5 SP per.then yeah, get shutdown coverage too.

Hell yeah dude.

If anyone tells you not to get shut down coverage, ever, for any reason, they have no idea what they are talking about.

Quoted For Idiotics....Probably the worst piece fo advice I have ever heard given on a CB...

Guys, THAT dude, doesnt know what he is talking about so please do not listen to him, for your own sake.

Swat ball and sticky hands are nice, but you shouldn't be putting any more points in them than are required to continue putting points into supervision and shutdown coverage. Aiming for about 7 or 8 in supervision and 5 in shutdown coverage is pretty good.

This.

IMO the 7-8 SV is a good goal for the lvl 25-30 range, but you should continue raising it as you level. At least +1 SV every 3 levels, until it's capped.
