Will be Level 44 after Boosting. Combo back but with a HEAVY lean towards power (I would say about 65/35 power/elusive), I'm trying to decide where to go with my 15 points when I boost. Here are where the key stats stand right now:

Strength 66.7 (54.7 Natural)
Agility: 50.8
Speed: 61.13
Jumping 20.46

Stamina: 42.54
Vision: 75.22 (57.22 Natural)
Confidence: 36.91

Carrying: 48.19
Catching: 27.59

Elusive Tree: 2-1-1-1
Power Tree: 5-9-4-5-4

Coming off a career year with 7.6ypc, just joined a new team with a *MUCH* better o-line so I'm looking for another big leap forward this season. Here's what I'm thinking:

- That Vision that people kept telling me I was spending too many SPs on? Yeah, it kicked in last season in a big way. Beaston's nose for the hole is uncanny, it's freakish, some of his runs last season you'd SWEAR the guy has eyes in the back of his head. With that in mind I'm thinking of using 6 SPs to up it to the 2nd cap and I'll just leave it there permanently (still adding to it via equipment though, just no more SPs)

- The other 10 I'm not so sure on, I could take strength to 59, Agility to 55, Confidence to 46, or take Lower Shoulder to 9 base and drop the remaining points into one of the Elusive SAs.

Thoughts?

hey, if you want your vision that high, power to ya. but with high vision, being a power back is pretty much useless. so up your agility and speed to 68. who cares if you see the guy before you crash though him?

my advice, if you want to be a power back, it to put your equip into strength and raise it to natural 68.

personally (and not putting you down, just observing), your build seems to be a whole lot of everything and not much of anything.

I disagree and don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to outright reject your advice, just open it for debate a bit since I am and have for a long time been of the position that HB Vision is something that is WAY underrated in GLB.

The way I was going with this build (and the way it's finally started working the past couple seasons) is a big guy that sees the hole fast and hits it like a ton of bricks. There's a reason I chose Marshawn Lynch for Beaston's avatar. Here's a couple examples of what I mean:

Vision to recognize the cutback and avoid a No Gain, power to bust through the FS and make it a TD

Bobbing and weaving like crazy, powers through the OLB, almost breaks another one

Recognizes he needs to take it outside, dicks the SS, busts 2 tackles on the way to the end zone

Just 3 examples of what he was doing all season. While I will agree with you that having crazy Vision might be *MORE* effective for an elusive back I wholeheartedly disagree that it makes being a power back useless. That's where that Combo comes in - he's got the Vision to take the angles to avoid many tackles and the ones he can't avoid he can very often bust right through.

I'm not totally opposed to taking the points off Vision and moving them to Strength though, that would leave him with 57 Vision (which I'd definitely up to 60 after boosting) and give him 70+ strength to better take advantage of his VAs and SAs. Plus the owner has offered up to help anyone looking to rework their EQ. Though I don't know how the owner and OC would like that because they're both in love with my high vision build.

Any other opinions?
