hey guys, wanted to get some feed back regarding my CB. I've got speed, agility and vision raised to the 73 cap natural now, and now I'm looking to see what to raise next. I've got jumping capped, and catching is sitting at 37, with strength and tackling trained to 30. Where should I spend points on next? I was thinking about capping catching, then taking jumping to 61, while training up my stam/conf which are kinda low. Maybe at the end work on strength, then finally tackling. Does that sound about right? Is jumping > catching and strength > tackling for a CB?

Jumping>catching and Tackling>Strength(until bump n run gets added then Strength will be better)

Id take jumping to 68 and cap stamina before capping str/tak/conf

that doesn't seem right! The traditional advice is jumping to 61, first cap catching, and also get strength to 50 for jackhammer/run support, the order you do it is up for debate I think.

What about SA's, when should I start dumping points in SV and SDC, lvl 50?

traditional is boring, everyone does it. JH seems weak to me now. I had 65 str and 15 JH and didnt KL more than 5 passes all season. Tackling is a better attribute for run support.

I'd go with strength before tackling, unless you are planning on taking tackling to 60 for DvG. Since you're in a good spot with catching, finishing that first may be a good idea.

jumping>catching=strength>tackling

jumping is for sure the most important of the 4, so you should work on that first. and then catching and strength are fairly even in the order imo, so it doesnt mater which one of those you work on first (catching to 48, strength to 50+... i probably would go strength though since you'll probably wind up with it being higher than catching), and then tackling should eventually be soft capped, but it isnt near as important as the other imo, so it can wait longer. As for SAs, 40 isnt a bad lvl to start since your natural gains are pretty much crap at this point. so if you wanted to, I would say go for it. its always a little better if you wait a bit longer though to about 50... but not by a lot... we're talking, i dunno maybe like 2 SPs.

To be honest, I don't think I'd drop a single SP into tackling before level 70 . . .

Sounds good, I'll probably 2 cap jumping and then work on catching/str while training up stam/conf
