I wanna do Outside linebacker. My dad played it. I played WR but seems like too many WR's.

What would you suggest to a new player where to start? What is good? i assume speed and strength???

Can't disagree with what's already posted. Cap Speed, then Agility, then Vision, all while training the stat you're planning on capping. Rinse and repeat until you're around L25.

ok so by cap you mean the soft cap right? where it still takes 1 sp to go up one point? basically 1 sp to go from 17 to 18?

and by saying cap speed then agility then vision. do you mean neglect everything else other than speed? then neglect everything other than agility and so on? or just focus on speed while still hitting agi and vis little?

also i would assume defensive players need tackling??? and strength?

Sorry if these questions are literally retarded but im a complete newb. about 3 levels down the road ill probably know 10x as much as i know now. any help now works though.

thanks

o ya and can you shed some light on the lvl 8 equipment upgrade thing or whatever it is. i read about it on the intro thread but didnt really understand it.

you don't completely neglect the other things, you just focus and put all your points towards the big 3.
personally, after i get speed and agility capped, i like to start training strength and tackling up to about 25, then got train jumping and stamina.

some suggest doing all your training for minor skills only (jumping, stamina, confidence, catching, etc.).

there a million different ways to take care of everything else, but everyone pretty much agrees, all points to speed, agility, vision until all are capped (at least).

other than directing 20%-40% of your training into stamina to get it to at least 15 by level 8, yes focus exclusively on training spd/agi/vis until they are all >48 (ie soft capped). use your cheap equipment for stamina, to replace a $500 piece of eq with something else later on is not a big deal

the more stamina the more playing time right? so i would assume stamina should be built a little.

alright well i played a game now and got a little experience. like 700. and i see what the training does and stuff. thanks to all that helped i get it more now.

My OLB has 80 vision, 60 agility, and 50 speed. Is pretty badass in a capped league imo
