What should the ratio of strength to blocking be? Right now my strength is 67 vs 52 blocking. I could switch a piece of equipment and make it 71 strength vs 48 blocking. What would be the pros and cons of this?

A big part of the question is if you do more pass blocking or run blocking. Run blocking is more about strength (drive into the guy, pancake, run to the next guy; or just hold the block until the rb gets by), while on passing plays you need to hold blocks longer usually, which requires more blocking.

So what does your team do more of, and based on that, decide.

strength>>>>>> blocking. IDeally if i could redo my fullback I would not have brought my blocking to softcap

sure it helps on your bars to make your build look better but at game time i question its usefulness. Give me alot of strength/speed/agi and some lead block SA and I think we are golden

See, that works for normal or heavy run teams...but if you've got to constantly stay in and help against DEs in the pass, why would you not want blocking?

at least on my team most pass plays happy teams usually have a single back formation

With my young FB, I am planning on keeping the strength : blocking ratio at 2:1. Strength to Speed should be 1:1 and Strength to Agiltiy should be 5:2
