Lvl 27 CB

Cant decide whether to bring agility up near the 2nd cap, OR, boost SuperVision/Shutdown Coverage.
Im not spending points in jumping/catching/tackling/strength.


Strength: 20.49 Blocking: 8
Speed: 76.22 Tackling: 28.63
Agility: 54.26 Throwing: 8
Jumping: 25.88 Catching: 22.31
Stamina: 30.83 Carrying: 16.13
Vision: 51.31 Kicking: 7
Confidence: 20.36 Punting: 10

I would certainly look at agility and jumping. Your speed is quite good for your level, and super vision has less of an effect against fakes than is advertised in the SA box. Agility is very important against fakes and for INTs. I think getting jumping to around 40-42 and agility in the 60s should be your next priority.

There are WRs in USA Pro that have over 100 speed now, and it remains to be seen how much of an advantage that will really turn out to be, but speed will be important after that.

Agility and vision seem to be important for CBs, so I don't think you can go wrong with either one of these. I like the Shutdown Coverage SA, but I have no idea how much it helps or doesn't...

Good luck with that 25 jumping!

yeah.. i've seen a lot of receivers in USA Pro with 95-100+ speed and jumping at the soft cap. but since you dont want to spend any points into jumping, i would have to say Swat Ball, Super Vision and Speed are your best bet.

Boost the Super Vision and Shutdown, and start spending points on jumping, 25 is a pretty decent point to start at. But IMO, 3 and 1 are WAY WAY WAY too low for Super Vision and Shutdown at lvl 27.

Well the problem with adding any SAs or JUMPING yet is I have not finished his build. I decided to finish capping agility, and considering thats not even finished yet, how could I justify putting points in jumping when its still getting great value from training?

I want to finish building my player the right way instead of cutting loose 3/4 of the way thru and spending points in jumping.

Anyway, I decided to cap agility before I did anything else. Im not as concerned with jumping as I am with SV so that will be next. I dont NEED the shutdown coverage SA as bad as alot of CBs do because my speed/agi is superior to most so that can wait till after jumping. (76spd/65agi)

Thank you to the guys who came in here and actually critiqued my build in a way where I could come away with something instead of just stopping in to make yourself look bad.

Punk SA are overated in my opnion. I love the build. I went the other way

I have
72 Spd
54 Agi
40 Jump
50 Vis

So I chose Jump instead of Agi. Agility is my next focus.

Somewhat true, but at the same time, a few quick points will give you a massive boost for cheap. And 65 Agility is STILL no finished? Wow.

Personally, I don't really like the build, it's just not my style. But I will grant you that 1 CB on one of my teams has a similar thing going on (high base speed AND agility, lower SAs, mediocre secondary skills) and does quite well, so it can work. But again, even he's had 5 SV and 3 SC for as long as I've noticed.

Anyhow good luck, and hope it works out for you.

I coulndt agree more really. 'finished' meaning having both speed/agi capped at 61. I know how valuable the shutdown coverage SA can be which si why it is definately in my plans but I believe I could make due with only the CE bonus for right now.
I decided to raise speed/ai because of how QBs rate their WR targets matchup against the CB and thought it would help being a 'shutdown' type CB to keep the WR from even being thrown to.
I may decide to leave AGI where it is, uncapped@ 56 base, and raise my shutdown coverage SA while training jumping to 28-30 before I start spending SPs there.

I have a CB on my team who had the same build as me, low SAs with great speed/agi and he didnt do so well, which is why SAs are in my plans to begin with. I know their valuable, but I have time, I wont consider his build finished until jumping is at 40+, SV at 7+ and SC at 5+(including equip)
