When I built my most recent safety, I took speed up to 68+ pretty quickly without touching agility. The lack of agility was noticable. When I started adding to agility, I also did something it seems like a lot of people around here don't do - I actually watched the games. As I added agility I noticed some things. My safety would get up to speed quicker and would also turn in a tighter radius. I noticed that as I added points to agility, there was less and less improvement in her performance to the point where when I raise her agility from 63 to 68 there really wasn't any noticable improvement. Equipment has always been in speed. As her speed increased through the equipment upgrades there was some improvement in speed. I have since added to the Change Direction. There has been some improvement, but not much. I'm not sure how valuable that is.
I don't know why people think in terms of ratios with speed and agility. It's not a ratio, it's a matter of having enough to do the job. I am sure that if I had less speed the addition of more agility would have had less of an impact.
You really need to watch the games and pay attention to your player's performance. My conclusion was based on how my player performed. While I do get ideas from others in these forums I base my builds on my own observations. While there is a lot of good information in these forums there is also a ton of garbage as well.
A ratio that works? I don't think so.
