agility is 80.65 natural and speed is 73.65. i put a good chunk of eq into speed, but i'm starting to think i should switch it up and go 3 pieces in agility and 1 in speed, rather than the other way around. should i be trying to 77cap speed as well, or is it ok to just let it increase with levels at this point, with additional equipment coming along the way?

I have 4 sp saved right now, and I was thinking about capping tackling, but i also realize my strength is lacking quite a bit. he's 73xp away from leveling again, which would give me 9sp. since his daily training and game xp are starting to level out, should i just boost him at the beginning of the season to try and get a jumpstart on the strength? if i boost him 3 times i would have a total of 24sp, and if i dump all of them into strength it would put strength at about 55ish give or take a little bit. i'm starting to think i screwed myself a bit by leaving strength for so late, but for DEs, there's really no good attribute combos to train it with except tackling. i'm pretty sure it was because of the lack of strength, considering he got pancaked 65 times in 16 games, including 22 times in one game. he had 10 sacks last season which led an 11-5 team, but i feel like he should be getting a lot more. would increasing strength fix that right away, or is it a little too late and this guy is doomed to be pancaked from here to eternity?

I would say stay the course and get speed to 77. I think you are right 3 pieces in agility and one in speed. I wouldn't even worry about tackling for a while. After speed I would take strenght to 68 to 74 or 77. I start to boost to begin the season after I hit 26 or 27, so I would say go ahead and boost. The difference is going to be pretty small.

Yeap..To much in tackling for that stage..I'm willing to bet that your DE gets pancaked quite a bit...For that level you should be in the 50's..Almost 60's in strength.

my training regiment from the start for this guy was agility, then agility/speed, then speed/tackling, then tackling/strength. that's why tackling is so high right now relative to strength. I guess I'll keep training strength for now until i boost, that way i can get it as close to 61 as soon as possible.

Did you slow build him though...? Have any CE on him.. ? His atttributes seem sort've low..Could just be you're missing equipment.

yea, no custom eq yet. i slow built him starting with agility and just reached the 77cap with it about a season ago, and I should have speed 77capped and strength at least 61capped by the end of the next season. i'm hoping that by the time i get to level 45 or so, with equipment and everything, i'll have agility 100+, speed 90+ and strength around 80 give or take a little. my plan is to get tackling to 48 and leave it there, then start training vision and confidence. is that a reasonable goal by level 45?
