Okay, I created 2 Punters after season 6, day 42 and day 44, the second one I boosted straight to lvl 4 because the team wanted our kicking/punting to be decent to start the season. Here are the 2 Punters today, both are lvl 8!

Created Day 42 (not boosted):

Player Attributes | Print Friendly
Physical Attributes Football Skills

Strength:20.19---Blocking:8
Speed:11.19------Tackling:10
Agility:11.19----Throwing:11.19
Jumping:11.19----Catching:10
Stamina:10-------Carrying:9
Vision:11.19-----Kicking:9
Confidence:21----Punting:65

He has 25 SP that aren't spent yet, will be going to strength

Created day 44 (boosted):

Vision:17.18----Kicking:8
Confidence:23---Punting:69

Both have C/E and all Equipment in Punting, first one has not upgraded equipment yet.

Just posting for people to see, I was quite surprised, although, keep in mind that #2 is in a pee wee league, so he doesn't get as many punts as the #1 guy who hasn't boosted, he has leveled up in 4 or 5 straight games now!? I will post his XP on here as well, it's quite astonishing!

Str higher than Conf = Fail

You can't compare the two xp wise unless they're both getting the same % of max game XP. Your boosted guy with equivalent max game XP % gains would not be equal to the unboosted guy. The gap would have closed some, but he would never completely catch up.

Using my player builder you can compare boosted vs. unboosted equivalently and see the difference.

All this is not to say I advocate boosting during your first season; I don't, I think it's a waste of money.

^^^ I agree with you, I don't usually boost in first season, it was a pee wee team so they wanted to boost early to try to have an early advantage in Kicking, only about half the team boosted, the other half will boost before playoffs, this was just a strategy to make sure we got to the playoffs and see how it went. I just thought it was odd how quickly the unboosted player caught up to the boosted player, but also wanted to point out that Playtime had more to do with it in this particular situation.

I also was showing how high XP per game some punters get when in "ideal" situations, and by that I mean ideal for the Punter, not the team he's on!? LOL!!

Also, boosting is not the indicator of slow vs. regular build. It's how SPs are spent that's the indicator. Your booster could have slow-built after boosting, holding on to all 30SP.

Umm, I don't agree, you level up much faster when you don't boost early. Slow-building is when you DON'T boost early, not just saving SP's. By not boosting early you level up much more quickly, not usually as quickly as my Punter in this case, but you will level up much faster if you don't boost early.

Any player doing a slowbuild is unlikely to boost before day 40, especially at a low level. But i agree with Syed here. Slowbuilding really doesn't have anything to do with boosting.
