Yeah you dont need CD if your "core agility" is high enough. But your core would have to be pretty damn high. like 90+.


I have a CB with 90 AGI and I still think that CD is important simply because it increases the angle at which your CB can turn...

It doesn't really matter if you can make a very fast turn if the WR can make a much sharper turn, When the WR does make a much sharper turn than the CB can make it seems like the CB has to come to a stop and then restart...Also, I've seen WRs use this not just on shorter routes but also as a way to get deep: use the AGI fake hoping to get the CB to bite, but even if he doesn't bite they have a good chance at getting a couple steps on the CB on the sharp cut...

Good discussion. My only question as a first time CB owner is at what level do you start putting SP into SA's?

My CB has 72 speed(84 with equip) and 70 agility atm with 48 vision. Continue to pump vision or do I put some into SA's at this point?

opinions vary. my personal opinion is after speed and agility hit 68 and vision hits 49 I usually spend 4 points to bring super vision up to 3(with custom) You will be surprised how much better your guy gets right there. Then continue on with vision as normal. It probably doesn't matter too much though.

yeah I would do that. Maybe I would take vision to 60 before.

CD is like hot pizza, it burns but you keep eating it because it's so good.

As for the point you start adding to SAs . . . .

What UD said isn't a bad idea, as the long-run damage will be minimal. IMO, if you want a true slowbuild and you're absolutely not worried about short-term results (like my guy, pretty much), then you're going to to want 68/68/68 with jumping and catching where you want them before you touch SAs.

The real question is: How high should I take jumping/catching before touching SAs? Should I spend points in confidence or stamina?

My answers are 48/48 and not for awhile, but some would disagree (some will especially say you should take jumping to 60, which is fine--I would eventually take it to 60 anyway).

Swat ball is nice. The fact that so many agents are looking to build corners with the goal of getting pds ignore a skill them gives them a straight increase in the chance of getting a pd astounds me.


The fact that you use the word astounds, baffles me.


Really? Is that all you have?
