Warrior General Games

I know that when the game orig came out, it was speed speed and more speed for your defensive players. Things worked well with that philosophy. Then Bort decided that other attributes would be given more importance so that speed wasn't the overall defining factor.

Now it seems that speed is back to being king. Is anyone else noticing this? I know there are WR with 90-100+ speed so how are my fellow CBs dealing with this given we have to have so many other attributes higher than the WRs do?

WRs with 90-100+ speed arent THAT much faster than alot of CBs...Speed is relative to speed, and I havent seen any WRs that were just flat out too fast for a CB to cover.

Speed works for WRs, but it can be their downfall too. Any WR with 90-100 speed got there because he was neglecting other attributes, so those WRs probably have a 20% chance of catching a deep ball even if they beat the CB deep only 30% of the time, do the math...Not a huge payoff in boosting speed that high for a WR.

Just asking as my last scrimmage game a lvl 26 WR just blew right by my lvl 31 CB for a TD. I don't have a bad build by any stretch and it kinda threw me for a loop.

What so you think speed should be for upper level CBs (30+)? I know you have 2 so just looking for more input.

You might have fallen for a fake of some sort. My cb has 76 speed and the only time I've been beaten deep since season 1 was when he bit on some sort of fake (this was right after Bort bumped up the power of pump fake).

That was my first thought as well: Pump Fake

Yeah I think vision was the stat I saw most improvement on my player. I was able to get a jump on the ball first and not get faked out.
