Not fast enough to get separation, and when nobody got separation and your QB checked down to see who had the best chance of catching the ball, another WR on your team most likely has a better catching value that you and was passed the ball a lot more often.

Yea, sadly average skills = average results. It's very rare for a 'balance' build to be succesful, and certainly not at the WR position. Id recommend getting speed up; possession doesnt have to mean slow. move your equipment over from agility. get some points into route run and stop investing in the rest of the possession tree.

You've gone towards a possession build with the SA, slightly towards speed with the main stats and you've got stuck in between. Options either to switch your equipment to speed or work your jumping up to softcap.

Wowsa. You are getting hosed. I think at this point it would be easiest to focus on being a possession guy. Get route run to 10 see if that works, if not, drop your gear into catching. You have the separation level of a guy 10 levels lower than you. 70 speed is average for low 20s WRs and you invested all of 2 skill points in RR.

I have found you'll get plenty of looks with high speed or high catching so pick one and ramp it up!

I wish you the best and I appreciate you opening your build for learning's sake.

I'd say you need speed. Dump the agility equipment and put it into speed.

3rd/4th cap speed to make up for loss of time then do the same to agility. At your level it will take a few seasons to get there.

Just like Mob-6 said. My WR has more speed & catching than yours at level 23. I almost have as much agility. That is without level 24/32 equipment.

I have heard that having too much speed and not enough agility causes the Speed stat to be negated. For example a 90 speed 50 agility receiver isnt as good as a 80 speed 65 agility WR.

That is why i moved equipment from speed into agility.

So normally he is 86 speed 51 agility but last game I moved points into agility to see if it made a difference.

10 points difference basically. 76 speed 59 agility or 86/51

I certainly think Vision is a useless stat for a WR as well, I got sucked into the hype that it was useful for catching and seeing the field. It hasnt helped at all.

I am a fan of agility, but not at the cost of speed for a WR.

Your build looks much better with all your gear in speed, hope that makes a difference.

I don't believe agility's acceleration attributes are as big as people make them out to be. Remember that agility had a major WR attribute purpose long before they added acceleration into the mix. I think agility for the non-acceleration things it adds are good, but am not convinced that agility makes a huge difference in acceleration.

Balanced builds do work. When you have a few high level stats balanced by moderate stats. He had NO high level stats before he put all his gear in speed. He doesn't have to believe anyone about the build not working, he experienced it first hand which is why he came here. Your WR may have success with a "balanced" build because you are the highest level WR on your team by at least 3 levels. His teams WR chart is deeper and thus more competitive showing that being averaged in each stat isn't going to cut it for getting looks.

I think it would be best to keep all your equipment in speed.

Also, Bladow my WR The Athlete wil be joining you on Cobra Kai in a few days....
