Warrior General Games

This is a blocking FB and I'm looking for some advice on what to do with his build for next season. I will be boosting early on so there is 15 points right there.


Strength: 72.01 Blocking: 56.01
Speed: 48.39 Tackling: 14.8
Agility: 40.54 Throwing: 9
Jumping: 9 Catching: 14.8
Stamina: 41.8 Carrying: 27.01
Vision: 24.85 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 31.93 Punting: 9

Special Abilities
Blocking Abilities
33221
Offensive Abilities
00000

Any input is appreciated. One specific I am curious on is Vision. I purposely kept it low since I was reading that there was a tendency for the FBs with high vision to be indecisive on who to block....similar to runners stuttering in season 4. True?....fixed?

I'd start off by softcapping Agility; will benefit you in all aspects of the game.

After that I'd go with Vision. Some still believe in keeping it low, and for a while they were right. They still might be to a certain extent, I don't know. But I have a FB with 41 vision and he seems to make the correct decisions when lead blocking, and I noticed his play improve a lot when I took Vision from 22 or so to 30+, although that was a long time ago.

And even if it isn't fixed, you can count on that it will be eventually. Simply because it's not an intended effect to make your player WORSE by improving an attribute, so if it can be fixed, it will be.

So yeah, agility first and then vision. Strength to 60 is also a good idea if it's not there already. If you have equipment in Blocking (Or anything else) I'd move it to Strength. Also don't put any more points into blocking. For a blocking FB it's a good idea to get it to 48 early on (After strength and/or agility), but leave it after that. Maybe it'll become a lot more important later on, but we don't know that. After all, a FB isn't a lineman, it's a hybrid rusher/blocker. And even then it's a blocker with focus on mobility, not on blocking D-linemen.

As for where you're at I think you're in pretty good shape. I would personally have softcapped Agility a lot earlier to take advantage of the 0.5 gained per level there before lvl 22. I'd also have a bit less stamina, but you're on the right track.

Thanks for the reply.

My blocking is 56 natural, no equipment. Str 54 natural.

My strength is now at 76 with equipment. I just got the end of season bonus cash to buy 24 equipment, and put it all in strength.

I will go ahead and soft cap Agi and put the rest in Vision at the start of season 6.

Good input...thanks for taking the time!

Get STR to the next cap natural. 61 was the first thing I did.

I think I will make that a goal as I level in the season....but will go agility soft/vision a bit higher first. My strength is functionally high enough right now with the equipment. I will get it there by the end of the year.

Thanks for the input!

I'd go all into AGI.

AGI is a blockers best friend (after STR/BLK)

more str won't make your player that much better, agility will, vision will too in all likelihood.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Agility soft/vision increase seems to be the concensus.
