I have a lvl 19 CB who is soft-capped in speed and agility. He has over 40 vision too. Is it the right time to start putting my SP's in SA's, or should I wait until I soft-cap agility.

I think its a good idea to wait till a CB ATLEAST has speed/agility/vision capped@48...If your plannign to bring speed/agility to 61, then I would always do that first.
After, Id train jumping while boosting SAs and once jumping was trained to 28-30 id begin raising that, then come back to SAs. For a CB their very helpful but jumping can magnify/supplement your abilities.

depends on how dependant you want to be on SA's vs raw stats

depends on if your defense needs you to step up.

Basically this. If you're a starter, or big play-time backup, you could invest a few points as early as Vision being around 30. Only take them to max lvl 2 at this point though, and only the ones you need (basically just Super Vision & Shutdown Coverage). Once Vision is soft capped (3rd attrib to cap, after speed and agility), I'd reccomend getting more SAs in general, before pushing stats up to 2nd stats or whatever.

I'd consider getting the base of speed and agility to 61 or 69, before putting a lot into SAs.

The 68/69 cap is too much, 61 is the max any CB should ever need. The 21/24 SPs it would take to get from 61 to 68/69 are far more effective when used boosting SuperVision/ShutdownCoverage.

I concur

I'm not sure if I agree. It's a trade off between having a good player in the short/mid term, and having an absolute badass at later levels. IMO, the earlier you can 3rd-4th cap an attribute, the more potent your player will be when he gets to level 35+.

I see where you are coming from and to a certain extent I agree. It boils down to when your D needs you to step up. You can always go back and take a skill to the 68 cap later and lose out on a minimal natural increase in CB skills. I am not so sure that there is much of a difference in a CB with 70 speed and a CB with 80 speed.

thanks. I was about to ask the same question. ^^
