I have softcapped strength, blocking and agility. Where should I go next?

I am thinking either softcap vision while training speed and stamina or 2nd cap strength while training the same.

I plan on softcapping vision and speed eventually but am in no hurry to do speed cause it gets no level bonus and vision only gets .2

lvl 15 with 7 SP still to spend

Since it's a slow build, and it looks like you're patient, you might want to work strength/agility/blocking to 60. I think you'll be better in the long run having those three working for you with good level bonuses still ahead of you.

yeah we are a slowbuild team, blocking to 60 though?

I was under the impression that a good blocking FB could get away with blocking just soft capped and built up through level bonuses

Probably so. I go back and forth with blocking. You could leave it as is, let bonuses work for you, then come back to it if your not satisfied and get it to 60.

But I'd at least get to 60 in strength/agility. And if you're really slow building, 68.

Blocking to 60 is overkill. FBs don't need hold blocks for very long. I've seen plenty of good blocking FBs have BLK at like 40ish and that's in their mid-20s level wise.

Don't take it to 60. Points could be much better spent elsewhere. It takes a dirt ton of SPs to make a decent FB. More than even a safety IMO. You basically need to soft cap vision and blocking while double capping strength, speed, and agility.

That will make you a good blocker. If you want to run you need to soft cap confidence and carrying. And then there's catching after all is said and done too.

Still though, even if you never touch the ball you can imagine how many points that's going to take.

thats why I'm slow building him, going to need every point I can get. Is double capping speed really necessary? Top end speed really isn't a concern, just have to be fast for 3-4 yards

If you want to run the ball, yeah. Really though, your speed is predicated on the HBs your blocking for. You need at least enough to speed to stay ahead of them and if they're in the 70s or 80s you're gonna need at least the second cap IMO.

its a slow build team and we have a power back and a speed/agility back being built right now and I am the only planned FB

Not going to be much of a runner though, mostly blocking

You're gonna need at least 2/3 of the speed of the fastest back you're blocking for. So if he's 90, you want 60, et cetera.

yeah that makes sense

What if you're a pass blocking FB primarily? Would there be a difference in strength/ blocking/speed?

why would you build that though?

Because a team may pass often? A pass blocker would need less speed, more blocking. Strength and agility are probably worth about the same amount.

Well, you just answered your own question. Less speed, more blocking. I would just build the FB to be basically identical to a pass blocking TE's build. I mean, in that paritcular case you're more lineman than running back.
