Yeah, but that's only because everyone wants to win. How many people would stick to their "shitty" builds and wait for Bort to nerf other builds so their builds can be flavor of the month? If builds are proven to be successful (albeit temporarily before Bort nerfs them), people are going to mimic it. Who in their right mind would mimic failures?
C'mon. I'm not suggesting you mimic failures. That much should be obvious. OTOH, I am just tired of the idea that only one build can work for each position. Clearly that is NOT the case. Lincoln has two guys that routinely break 10+ tackles in a game and they have significantly different builds which accomplish similar results on the field.
Smart player building will always give your player an opportunity to play somewhere. Some teams might favor a hyperagility, hyperspeed DE on the strongside of the formation but other teams might like a guy with great strength who allows the LB's to close on the play without getting eaten up by blockers. Some teams want a SS who can lay the wood while others want a guy who is like another CB on the field. Neither build is wrong. The problem is created when the SS dot that is supposed to be a vicious headhunter decides that his build is broken after only 5 seasons of development so he starts chasing another build type.
Who said only one build can work for each position? I certainly didn't.
I have DEs that were started off as strength builds, but switched them to agility builds after 3-4 seasons. Mimicking? Maybe. But I'd like to think I'm adapting.
Besides, what is wrong with mimicking the most dominating builds in the game? I'm pretty sure everyone rather have a dominating build rather than an average one. I certainly didn't create players with the goal of making them "average".
Sounds a lot like my DT. It's another thing that gripes me about this game. Balance of players doesnt work really well. It seems you need to be really dominate with just 1-2 attributes than being very good at everything.
Don't worry, just follow your heart and keep on building them. I've heard that Bort will make balanced players dominate this game in season 9. You've put up with them sucking for 6+ seasons, what's 2 more
