So from all the info I've experienced/read/seen about DE's in particular, this is my formula to being a decent pass rusher in GLB by around lv 20-22....:

Speed to 60
+
Agility to 60
+
Vison to Soft-Cap
+
Tunnel Vision to 6 (7 with Custom EQ)
+
All EQ into either Speed or Agility

=

Pressure + Hurries + Sacks.

All your questions answered? Do that and you're at least a decent pass rusher.

You know what's awesome about have a DE?

You can build your OT's to take them on properly

You know what's the worst about building an OT to combat Speed DE's?

You forget about the 75% of the GLB DE population that went Strength.

sadly my build is almost exactly what you said but since he goes up against OT 4-6 lvls higher than him all he can get is hurries
70 spd
60 agi
6 TV
35 vision (currently training it)


competition lvl is almost as important as build

If you're getting hurries it has nothing to do with your competition. It means you beat the OT but can't make it to the QB in time before he releases it. Try working on Speed and even Jumping for that matter to increase your tackle radius.

8 Hurries in 8 Games? That's not so bad. That could potentially be 8 Sacks in 8 Games which would be considered incredible compared to the average DE. But yes, although I tried not to admit it, competition is also a factor but ideally the formula is tailored for people playing in their own lv range.

2nd softcap for str, blk, and agi should do the trick

Vision + Speed?

60 Agi alone won't do the trick.

We shall soon see.
And my OT is doing punt return drills for vision.

This formula and you have 14 total sacks in your career?

I didn't follow the formula...... I made this DE in season 2 before we found out that Speed DE's we're the way to go. However, I do have 80+ Speed and 60+ Agility, my only flaw is my Vision is low because I softcapped strength before anything else. I also switched my EQ from strength to Speed mid last season. I've got 7 sacks in 8 games with low vision and low TV so I've already put up decent production don't you think?

Whats wrong with the formula? My DE has everything mentioned in the above formula except for vision and is leading his league in sacks.

As the owner of a L31 OT, I wish all DE's would follow the advice of the OP. They'd be so much easier to deal with.
