Did a bit of reading on soft caps and stuff before i started.

Rolled max str. Went to first cap vision first. Went to 41 tackling 2nd, hoping it caps itself out in the long run and dont have to worry about it for now. Currently working on Speed which i will take 2nd cap. Then agility to first cap. Will work from there.

Curious if this would work out or have i screwed up and need to try again?

?open your build please.

whoops, i must not have hit the update button when i change view setting. Sorry, open now.

i think you're crazy for not taking speed to at least 68 first

Well started out on a peewee team so the speed there wasnt all that high. Was thinking the Vision would help me see the plays early so wouldnt need as much speed. For the first season i think it did okay as i lead leagu in tackles. Season 2 is where im concerned, working on Speed atm but worried it may not be enough in the early running and just be behined all season.

Minimum requires for a SS are to take speed and agility up to 68 before doing anything else. Then work up Vision to at least 60. Some might say take Vision to 68. Those are your three most important skills.

Tackling MIGHT come next. Plenty of room to argue that. But since you chose to work tackling early and have only capped one skill by level 12, you have pretty much crippled your safety.

peewee is the biggest supporter of speed anywhere, speed kills in peewee, because all they do is rush, faster you get there faster you make the tackle, its not a like a powerback us going to have 68 strength against you, and wrap up works.

This. You are killing your build in the long run. I'm not one of those SPEED SPEED SPEED people, but it is definitely one of the most important attributes in this game.

Definitely screwed up from the start. When rolling for a max attribute that needs to be the attribute you CAP first to take advantage of the level gains. For safeties I truly believe speed is the most important attribute that you should take to at least the third CAP.

So I would say retry this safety and start by rolling at least a 19 in speed. After that I would figure out what training combos you prefer. Speed/Tackling, Speed/Agility.

With my SS I went with rolling a 19 in speed and then trained speed on normal so I can CAP speed ASAP. After that I plan on training Agility and Tackling while getting my Speed to the 4th Cap. Everyone has different ideas when it comes to the 2nd and 3rd attributes but it is definitely best to know what you want to CAP first and get that attribute to the desired level before working on another.
Alternating two attributes also works well but with your guy it seems like you have 5 plans in place at the same time.

anyone ever tried training speed and tackling first then cap speed then u could switch to tackling strength from there or a few other possibilities?

isnt tackling a major for SS so it receives a bigger auto gain from leveling. once you got it softcapped you wouldnt really have to touch it again. also you could move to agi vision after tackling. i think speed is the most important att for a safety and as long as u get agi to 68 or preferably 73 soon after then i would think it would be a pretty solid build. any input?

in this sim, it's more important you have high speed, agility and vision first so that they benefit from the level gains the most.

most players you will be tackling will have high speed and agility at lower levels anyways, so you need to follow suit. At lower levels, high tackling isn't required because the players you must tackle aren't very hard to tackle anyways. while you receive more from level gains, you're building your player in the wrong order and handicapping his performance all the while.

at SS, I took str to 60 before softcapping vision... by doing so it handicapped me for a while but I think it will be worth it. At FS you'd be crazy to try that. I think strength is a little more valuable to a SS than tackling but tackling can't be neglected either. It just comes a little later.

i see what you were saying. thanks for the input i was just checking possible training combos and wanted some info. speed is the number one priority for me i was just looking at different ways to go. i see alot of ppl saying no more than 72 agi thats y i figured you could maybe bring it up later. im talking about a build peaking at higher levels instead of lowere levels. thanks for the advice

agility is overrated for safeties

its not a main

and ss for example has change direction SA which compensates for it

speed n strength is all you really need
