There's something is driving me crazy, if for a STRONG SAFETY I'd better to bring first to cap Agility or Vision after bringing spd to 3rd cap...

let's do some considerations:

- Agility is essential to reach the maximum speed as soon as possible, it's essential to tackle, to avoid blocks, to change directions.

- Vision is essential to put the player where is needed, to read the action, to a faster reaction, to intercept and to avoid blocks and fakes

This way it seems agility is more important at first for a SS, being this role a tackling one, most of all at lower levels where teams run 85% times.

But Agility is a minor skill, so leveling bonuses are far lower than Vision... so, for mere point purposes, I'd better at first cap Vision, because lvl bonuses would be more effective when the skill is capped.

So... what to do?
after speed should cap agy or vis?

I would cap Vision for the exact reason you stated. The benefit of getting it to the cap earlier is a greater long-term gain, and you're going to be capping both soon enough. I've found that vision is very important in run support, especially if you are in zone coverage. You will break on the runner sooner and spend less time sitting in your zone waiting to recognize the play.

I say vision aswell, I made the mistake of getting my SS's agility to 60 before, he's the fastest man on the field regardless, but now I'm pumping vision to get it to 68, on the bright side... he seams to still be winning the speed race.

but I fear to have a player potentially fast, always on the spot, but unable to tackle...

What about capping vision to 60 , then cap 60 Agy, then vis to 68? Maybe the right compromise to avoid a totally unbalanced player

I would cap Vision also.
I like better top end speed and Closing Speed SA.
Change Direction is nice that it is #1 SA on that tree.

I am odd though, I prefer Strength to 48 then grabbing Speed then Vision.
Don't run me over, Don't outrun me, Don't fake me.
