With a boost and 8 skill points still in hand... http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=798389

Not saying he's any good, of course, as his average suggests... but he will be one day

Nice!

Dare I ask if you're trying to make a good P, or going for a 100 bar?

A 100 bar will be difficult with natural gains as low as they are. 68 agi + 68 vis + 100 conf + 111 punt barely gets you over the mark.

Now don't go putting ideas in my head...

Do you think it is possible? He was built on season 4 day 0, so has some time left.

Even if you were already at 90 conf / 100 punting natural, at level 40 your gains are so low! At level 38 gains, it'd take you 23 levels to get the last 10 you need. But the gains drop again at 46, etc. You'd need a 70+ level career.

Your other option of course would be to get the minors up into the 70s. But every point there is worth only 1/5 punting so even if you relax it to 105 base punting, now you need 25 more between the other stuff.

So no, I don't think it is possible. Even just taking all the minor 60s to 68, and letting conf/punt ride for 15 levels (time to get the needed 75 SP to bring those up) at current gains, you're only getting 5 more to the bar.

You have quite a bit of time left, maybe you could make 93. That'd take a while for the last move.

with the new leveling for p/k i feel it might be quite possible now for punters (in the next 10 seasons or so) will be able to reach 100 bars. They can get nearly 2x the exp now.

Here are his key stats:

Agility
23.5

Vision
48.5

Confidence
78.17

Punting
102.48

He has 1 boost and 8 skill points in waiting. Will get agility to soft cap next. Figuring 5.5 boosts a season, conservatively, He's got over 130 points left. Agility to soft cap is 35, vision/agility to 2nd cap is about 50, and probably about that again to get to 3rd cap.

If I ended up with P = 110, C = 85, V = 68, A = 68, gets me to about 96.

It looks possible, if I get 200 points/game I'll get 6-7 boosts a season. If I can keep the player building to season 12 without losing too much...

Not sure it is worth it, but would be fun to try. What would happen if he got to 100.5? Does it go to 102 (rounded to the nearest "3")?

I'm not sure if the bar would overflow or not

Yeah I didn't think your punting could have been 102.48 yet, looks like you can make it.

Plus, the whole retirement thing isn't even worked out. Who knows, we may end up with level 80 guys on here with enough bitching and moaning to Bort

To your original question, I'm actually interested to see if he becomes a good P as I get agility up, and particularly as vision/agility hit the 2nd cap. I'm not going to touch strength on this guy, although I did soft cap it early, unfortunately.

The only thing that I'm tempted to move on him before his retirement are his SAs. Some AEQ has helped, but SAs definitely play a strong role in punting.
