Warrior General Games

I have been slow building and am finally ready to start playing

current build ::

Physical Attributes
Strength: 58.5
Speed: 58
Agility: 52.5
Jumping: 8
Stamina: 21.6
Vision: 12.6
Confidence: 15.6

Football Skills
Blocking: 19.5
Catching: 27.6
Tackling: 12.6
Throwing: 9
Carrying: 41.5
Kicking: 8
Punting: 8




I guess my goal over the next few levels is to continue training confidence/stamina while taking str to 68 - carrying to 61 - agil to 61 - then speed to 61

Is that the right track or would I be better served to go with carrying earlier?


thanks for any input.

Retire and try again with less speed until MUCH later in the career.

Read up on slowbuilding while you're at it.

Here's a place to start:

I know why you are telling him this, and here's why I say that's stupid. I'm tired of being on teams with slow @$$ FB's who aren't worth a crap when it comes to blocking because they can't get in front of the RB. Speed IS important for FB's, even if GLB doesn't choose to make it one of the major skill category's. Does he need to be at a 60 already? No, but he should at least be at the first cap so that his guy is worth a crap to his team. Too many slow, useless FB's out there. All in the name of having 2 extra skill points when they are level 70.

You may want to look over your math again... it's most definitely not just 2 extra skill points at level 70... 0.5 per level from ALGs from level 2-20, realistically speaking, it'll take 5 or so of those levels to cap speed (because you also have less time to train it to a decent level before adding SP). Then factor in the trickle down effect to all other major attributes, 5 or so less levels worth of good ALGs to two more attributes. That's 0.17 x 5 of lost ALGs in the best case scenario (0.07 in the best case scenario), per attribute... all of these numbers then have to be multiplied by the cap level of said attributes, to determine the wasted efficiency.

Overall, we're talking about many levels worth of SP in lost efficiency, if you're a pretty good builder anyways. My advice would be to wait until S15 when archetypes are supposed to be introduced, then pick one that suits going speed earlier... using the current system though, it's very counter-productive to put SP into speed before level 30+.
