I know the build is closed, but I was wondering which of the following you guys will think have the best effect.

1. Add +5 strength (making his total strength go from 65 to 70).

2. Add +4 to pocket presence SA (making it go from 5 to 9 with equipment).

3. Add +4 to pump fake SA (making it go from 5 to 9 with equipment).

Strength seems kinda safe since ball velocity is a big factor in avoiding INTs/PDs.

Pocket Presence I'm thinking might be a big help in not having my QB make mistakes under pressure in his new league which definitely brings the heat.

Pump Fake would possibly allow my QB (and offense in general) to get more completions and make more big plays.


Any suggestions/thoughts are 100% appreciated...

I do attribute a good bit of my low INT numbers of the past 2 seasons to high strength, but which would you recommend then, pump fake or pocket presence?

Thanks buddy.

they are both good for a Pocket Passer, I would keep them at a 1:1 ratio. For my QB, i got 5, 6, 5 I really like tight spiral

I would probably wait a bit before you assign your SP until you have a better idea of what kind of pressure your going to face, in fact i'd advise everyone to wait with SP since there was so much added to the sim engine. Also I think the new thrown ball animation will give everyone a better idea on how strength effects the ball trajectory, but even as a big STR fan I think 65 is good enough.


But if your are getting pressured often, i would go with pocket presence. If you got time behind the line, pump fake would probably be your best bet. Pump fake is sexier and would increase big plays, but it is a chance activation where as pocket presence will help you play consistently every play and with your natural strength your going to be able to complete deep routes anyway. Pumping it to 9 is such a big investment though that I'd make sure your going to need help with pressure before dumping SP into it.

Thanks. Any players who have direct experience with high pocket presence or pump fake would be highly appreciated as well.

High pocket presence here...

In Season 5, he had 4-5 in Pocket Presence, Season 6 went to 7 then 8. Both seasons were in USA BBB.

Obviously, other factors may be in play as well. For example, I actually still train Confidence, even with it in the 50s.

As an aside, he currently has 44.3 Strength. I haven't put points there in a few seasons.

If you want more specific info, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks, and best of luck!

Pocket presence is only useful if you are getting pressured a lot. gtthom86 gave good advice as to wait to see if you need the points there. If you can't wait I would definitely get those points into pump fake.
