Well, yea. Personally, I think the difference between, say, 50 and 60 vision has less impact than going from 70 to 73.33 speed.

Speed kills, i have not seen much of an improvement on my players who have high vision from those who is to the first cap..

I would cap str first before anything else.

Not only will the natural gains make it so you never have to raise it again, but why are you making TE's with no str. I am sure you never plan to touch blocking, but at least with cap'd str you can maintain decent blocking.

speed/agl to 2nd caps after that, catching vision after that.

Why does a receiving TE need strength?

strength can help with catching, basically using your body strength to shield defenders away from the ball, and can help break tackles for YAC. the question is really its value relative to other attributes for a receiving TE. it is maybe the 5th or 6th attribute I'd cap, and only 1st cap.

Problem is that TEs never break tackles. I agree that it's low importance - I don't think there is a reason to do more than train it.

Correct, they rarely if ever break tackles, but its just more efficient to cap it first. You can cap a TE's str by level 3, at 49. This will give you somewhere in the ballpark of 63-64 str by level 40, and you never need to touch it again.

That far outweighs anything else if you count the return value.

Look at your other 3 majors. Blk/Vis/Ctch

You will never touch blocking so that's out.

You could cap vis or catching but then you really cant be used as a blocker. By the time you go back and revisit str you will still never be a good blocker, and will probably never get it above low 50's.

If you arnt going to touch str... Make a WR.

Here is my TE, I cap'd str first, and never trained block. He ended up a pretty good receiver and can still block.

Just build a receiving TE like a WR, its not hard. Speed first, agil and catching second, vis 3rd.

Maybe cap catching first so you get more free SP from level gains, then take speed/agil high after training.

they dont lol... a lot of people try and make TEs fit the nfl mold, but glb=/=nfl

best to have one made purely as a receiver, and one purely as a blocker

your logic is flawed... you lose attributes from the OOP penalty and its 100 extra fp per boost

Point taken, so did you go after catching after strength then?

Enjoy your reverse pancakes/dropped passes.

And you are also taking advice from someone that doesn't have a TE beyond level 5. (And he even cap'd str first =p)

If someone believes that strength is key for a receiving TE, you should cap that after you address catching (both major attributes). I do not believe it is important enough to cap. My TEs are WRs with a different title, I don't think strength should be addressed anymore than training it later in their careers. Both of my TEs are set up to not be on the field for rushing plays, so I'm not worried about blocking whatsoever. Anyone who is using a balanced TE with the way GLB is set up right now is making a mistake, you ought to have a blocker and a receiver.

Strength goes into the receiving roll? That's the first I've heard of that.

Watch a replay where you catch the ball, take a few steps, are hit, and its a drop/deflection.

And i don't remember stating "it goes into the receiving roll" but if thats all you got out of what I said then sure.
