Before the changes to VAs I was happy with my level of throwing, which with VAs was well over 100. I was planning on investing my EQ points into vision and/or strength, but now i'm debating back and forth on what to do and where to invest in. I really don't want to start dumping SP at a 4:1 return, at least not until next season's boosts, at which point I can work on getting throwing to 73.

Here is my relevant stats (with EQ) for reference, but this is a pretty general question for QBs:

Throwing: 95
Strength:68
Vision: 69
Also, TS at 7 and pass quality +17%

What level of throwing are you guys trying to get to before devoting EQ to strength or throwing? How many of you guys are planning on keeping Laser Arm for the 7.5% bonus (do you think a +5 bonus is worth the 15 VAs)? Anyone having success leading their receivers so far this preseason? i'm still trying to decide if STR or VIS will be more important with the updated sim at reducing PDs.

I'd go with quick release VAs and start pouring SPs into throwing until at least 77

even though my QR is already at 15, i am going to have to disagree with that completely. taking throwing to 77 would take at least 25 SP, which imo is better spent on CON or the FG SA or whatever the fuck else.

the point i was trying to make was at what point do you stop spending EQ on throwing,? if your at 77 base then do you really need all your EQ in throwing? apparently you think so, but im not sure I agree.

Fwiw, my QB had <90 throwing with equipment and he should do at least alright this season...

My qb has 96.65 throwing at level 45 with all my equipment in throwing. I have 4 more upgrades on one of my pieces of AEQ and I know I'm at least going to use this seasons bonus tokens on throwing. I'm pretty sure I'm going to use my 48 upgrades on strength.

On my QB I've never wanted to get an attribute over 100, cause I don't think the QB uses any of the attributes that realistically have 100% return after 100. Really how much better can someone throw with 100 throwing and 10 Tight spiral and 15 pass quality? I would think the equipment bonuses once you hit 100 throwing would be better served getting as close to 100 strength or 100 vision as possible. What's more important, a very small fraction of a better pass or improving your QBs ability to make reads or putting more velocity /distance on the passes?
