I know, my player is slow as molasses, but his goal isn't to be a speedy receiver. His goal is to make the catch, then murder people from there. I want him to break tackles and battle up the field every play. His future Vets will be Bruiser and YAC. Below is the link, open build.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1660271

I plan on training strength and carrying on intense for the next two levels to 19 (meanwhile boosting a Break Tackle % piece). The 10 skill points received will go 7 in agility and 3 in speed. From there, I'm not quite sure. What am I doing wrong? Any flaws? And what SA should be focused on for the most broken tackles?

Any and all help will be truly appreciated.

There are alot of things you need to do in order to be a break tackle WR. You still need the normal WR build. 68/68 speed/agility. Then 60/60 str/carry. A break tackle piece and a spin will finish off the build. VA's in slippery and YAC will also help break tackles.

My advice put all equip into speed,train speed/agility cap speed,move to agility/vision while taking speed to 68. Train jump/catch while taking agility 48, then train str/carry while taking agility to 60. I would go with speedster tree.

Sorry about the double post

...err.

Long-term, I plan on having 60+ speed, 85+ agility. Also around 80 strength, 70 carrying. VA's in bruiser over slippery, because he's a "POWER-WR", thus, he uses a power-run style. And I will not go with the speedster tree, because as mentioned, I am not going to be a speedy receiver.

Thank you for the advice man, but I'm not sure you understand what I am going for.

you should have started by taking CAR to the 3rd or 4th cap,
you get (.5) nat level gains and that will be an important stat.
But you are almost at lvl 21 and you haven't even first capped it yet.
CAR is the only useful lvl gains that WR gets, and it is really important for what you want to do...
I would start over if I were you,
I'm builiding the same thing as you, except I'm going to save about 16 SP's to get my carrying where you plan on having yours. You should have waited to take STR up as well as you get no nat lvl gains.

No offense, but there are a lot of things that I believe you didn't take into account while making your build. My advice would be to start over and focus on CAR, get SPD, AGI, and CAT where you want them, and then level up STR like FB's lvl up SPD. You could have upwards of 76 STR if you do it right and save plenty of SP's to make a more efficient build... which you so far have not done...

^ Good point. After that, I realize that retiring my player and starting again might be the best option. Thank you.

Yeah man, youre spreading your training out too far right now to ever have a "specialized" build. And If you are talking about making a specialized build you need to realize that you wont be tearing it up at lvl 13. I think MileHigh nailed it almost to the t. You will always end up with an average build in your guys later years if you try and lvl every major at the same rate.

On another note Id say Conf is def. a major for a power WR. Some would even debate that it is more important then Catching in this case.what good is +20 STR over a CB if your guy doesnt have the balls to try and truck him? Youll need at least above average Conf. (say60+) if you want to realize this build.

does the lower the shoulder SA (with AE) help this build? I realize that TE's have it, and more or less a power WR is essentially going to built somewhat the same.

That's not how confidence works.

I actually agree, and WR's get .5 nat lvl gains for CON I plan on 2nd capping CON after I 4th cap CAR to get the nat level gains as well and so I never deal with it again. Breaking a tackle lowers your morale for that play, so players with low CON tend to break less consecutive tackles as morale is a big in game factor for the BRK TKL roll, personally I believe that any player planning on effectively breaking consecutive tackles in a play needs to have CON at least 2nd capped by lvl 42... I plan on going higher with nat. lvl gains... but that's just me.
