At least you're all catching the ball. :'(


This is my WR at level 11:

Strength: 8 Blocking: 9
Speed: 41.74 Tackling: 8
Agility: 52.31 Throwing: 8
Jumping: 18.31 Catching: 25.72
Stamina: 19.81 Carrying: 16.41
Vision: 20.22 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 16.76 Punting: 8

He never even gets thrown to, and I can't understand why. When I heard about the agility tweaks coming for season 4 I assumed they would be much more significant than they are now, and decided to soft-cap agility (first as opposed to speed first). I figured this would give me an advantage over high speed med agi WRs considering high Agi med speed, because I'd accelerate much faster to my full speed, make a catch, and then get tackled due to their higher speed. Instead, I never get open because the tweaks aren't at all drastic unless you are in fact a 90 speed WR.

The result: I get more tackles than any WR on my team. We have one other WR on the KOS team and that's where they're produced: I simply move around my opponents more smoothly and land the tackles. Other than that my high agility contributes almost nothing to my effectiveness. I never recieve high YAC against capable opponents. The amount I accelerate faster than my peers is so little that I am outdone by their speed because it is still a more valuable stat, not by any means even.

If you want something stupid and short, take 3:2, maybe even 3:1 into consideration.
Agility affects how quickly you accelerate, by such a meager amount that you shouldn't stack it except for juke, head fake, and spin. - Things I may invest into later, but as a level 11 just aren't wise or worthy.

As for earlier posts referencing my intelligence, you're just showcasing your ignorance. You know nothing of me, so shut the fuck up.

Yet come to find out, your WR doesn't even get thrown to..

I've seen the same thing happen on defense. Watch the FS on this play (with 70 spd)

He's just making all of these tiny adjustments that just kill him.



this seems to be the crux of a lot of problems with YAC. Anyone have any theories or proofs on what fixes this? Could be vision has a sort of 'bell curve' of effectiveness? Is first step or quick cuts helping here? Does higher agility mitigate the speed loss?

Wait.. so your point in this is to argue something I never said..



What exactly do you want? I give you an in-depth analysis of my experience in the game considering what stats I chose and all you can do is try to win an internet argument.

How can I mend your damaged ego?
