Something that will be interesting as the game continues and players get older is whether or not there is a maximum attribute level that will be sueful and how its handled.

Thats the one thing that concerns me about going so all out in Strength and Blocking. You could end up having wasted points at a later stage in the life of the build.

Note that this is complete and utter speculation on my part, just something I find interesting.

My level 15 center will at the 4 cap in strength and 3 cap in blocking. He gains 7SP a level between strength and blocking. You only gain 4 right now.

Every time I level I get 7SP from major abilities and 1SP from minor abilities as well has the 5SP to spend. Thats a total of 13 SP every time I level. You are only getting 10SP each time you level. You will spend the entirety of your career behind people with centers like me.

But if you want to keep him rush to the second soft caps.


can i do this with my G or are my major abilitits not the same?

yeah, he says "may go down further at some point". so it is speculation. I'm not confused about the 2 down to 1.5 part, it's the comment that "it goes down further at some point" that I was asking about, and your source claims it as speculation while you stated it as fact. thanks for clarifying.

coo coo.
also, to clarify on that link.
it can be read two ways:
1. that the drop is when you go from lv 21 to lv 22 (i thought it was that)
2. that the drop is when you go from lv 22 to lv 23

from reading deeper into the thread, it is 22 to 23.

and not that anybody cares, but i put 2 towards str this week, holding back the last point and have figured out the best way to get str and blocking to the 2nd soft cap while also being very close to 60.51 via a little training.

Center is clearly the easiest to build due to only having two major skills.

For a guard you get .66 into strength blocking and confidence when you level so when you hit 48 the soft cap in both your gain goes up from 1.32 between strength and blocking to 2.64. When you hit the second soft cap you get 3.92SP between strength and blocking. Its still a very valuable difference but its not as massive as a center.

The cap is 100 base skill (no equip), since the highest level we are likely to reach before decline is 50-60, 68 is a very good spot to stop rushing strength and blocking

I agree with you there, a well built center (or kicker or punter) is someone who hit their softcaps asap and maximised their natural growth when they level. Its slightly sad that building a good center in the long term is as simple as that

There is also an important question regarding skills at 100.

Is 100 merely the point at which you can no longer invest skill points? In other words, can the leveling bonus take you over 100 or not?
