How important is it? Can it wait until about lvl 40 before putting SP into it?

yes

never hurts to train it though

But, for a D-Line General NT (I have 9 in it right now, plus 15 Natural Leader VA), isn't confidence a good stat to keep high for the chance roll?

how does that work?

Pretty sure that's a rumor that has never been proven or disproven. Just what people have noted from some anecdotal evidence.

Ok good, it's just as I thought, I'll just train it when I'm done with everything else

I think a good confidence level effects my DT like this

for a rushing play
the play might go away from my DT, say to the right (my DT's left)
now the play is going away from him but due to having confidence he doesn't give up and allow the play to continue to flow away from him (he would however with low confidence)
his confidence level is proportionate to never giving up on any snap

I'm not searching game logs for past examples
but my DT has made numerous stops on plays that were initially not headed in his direction
and I don't mean 10-20 yard stops down field either but stops before the 1st down marker

Obviously I can't see your DT's attributes, but I'd attribute that sort of thing to vision.

I agree.

I can confirm that confidence has little to no effect with the linebacker morale decreasing SAs (something I tested very extensively). I bring this up because my experience with linebackers has lead me to believe that confidence does not significantly effect any of the SAs unless the description explicitly says it does (although I'm pretty sure none of the descriptions do).

EDIT: I'd still say it's important enough to train up to a respectable level. I would shoot to eventually get it to at least 48.

It really does help every player in any position because it affects in game morale

The slower you are demoralized, the higher your in game morale will be and that can help you play well if you are down or just boost your stats

It's the kind of attribute that you should train, but not put SPs into

My DT came out of this massacre http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=547132 with 62 morale. He had 23.44 confidence. I'm not really convinced confidence is all that important.

How much morale did your two DE's that got pancaked near 10x each come out with?
