What level do I start working speed for my C?

I waited until the beginning of last season for my C. I guess he was level 52 or 53 when I started spending SP on speed. I still wish I had trained it a bit more but I needed to get the speed going for the team. At level 58 my C now has 70 speed.

Not sure if that helps or not because I am not sure if I am doing it right. lol

I have a 32 build very similar to yours and I'm putting it into my quad training now instead of con.

The way center's are playing these past 2 seasons, its tough to determine how high strength/blocking/agility need to be then coupled with the need for confidence.... there's going to be one attribute that will be left out but not neglected.

Just curious how you gained so much speed in 6 levels at that High level to level 70. From 60 to 70 is over 30 sp and you didn't spend any before level 53? What kind of training are you using?

I had some saved SP due to bad timing. Also, because in the old training system I would intense train two skills to 41 then I would spend 3 boosts to cap the skills. Then I would intense train them both for 2 offseasons and a full season from 48 to about 53 or 54 depending on luck and timing.

If I recall correct, I messed up the timing and had nothing to spend SP on the season I was training speed up. So I think I held on to more SP than I would have liked. I also did not train it as high as I would have preferred and did not get to train two skills at the same time like in the old system. I know multi training would have helped but I had not figured out a good system at that time.

Usually I don't hold so much SP since I have a good plan going so I am working on one skill while training the other. This particular build got away from me if I remember correct. It is also not uncommon for me to have 5 or 6 SP laying around at the end of a season when a player is on a team that is out of the playoffs. Sometimes I luck out and he levels when the team is out and I save them to be combined with the next seasons boosts.

Edit: By the way my C's speed is now 72.68 with 77% trained. I pan to stop training when I hit 99ish% trained and then take it to 74. Finally I will use one last training to push it to 75. depending on how the decimals work out and if I give up on a third AEQ item I may continue to train it to 76 or 77 but 75 is the main goal.

What does speed for a center even do?

Also high high with equipment should ones agility be?

If your center can get to the 2nd level of blockers on running plays he can steamroll LBs and DBs

This is the dream. I think everybody is waiting for the good old days when blockers actually got to the 2nd level. Right now blocking sucks bigtime.
