Which Tree do you think is better and why?
Thanks for your opinions/suggestions

I like First Step, Change of Direction, and Super Vision in the Coverage Tree
& Wrap Up, Diving Tackle, and Closing Speed in the Hard-Hitter Tree.

FSs tend to go coverage since their responsibility is usually in pass support, not run support. It all depends on how you want to play. If you want to play more run, you could easily find a team to join. Specializing is important in glb.

Yeah, the more I think about it, the First Step, Change of Direction, and Super Vision will make you a better a better Ball Hawk, which is what Id prefer to be at the FS position.

Ha. didn't see you had so many players already. You probably want a more in-depth response.

I'm currently building a special teams...specialist. So I went with FS. I like first step, change and super. Diving tackle and closing speed. I'm focusing on speed, agility, and vision. I'm going to ignore as much as possible strength, confidence and stamina. I figure if he's just a st specialist, I can get away with just those three and train up tackle. Maybe train up jumping and boost diving tackle.

As far as a traditional safety, Super Vision is king. First Step, Change Direction, Wrap up and diving tackle is where I'd go. Closing Speed is good, but costly. I'm not sure how effective it is if the play is in front of you. I would think SV FS and CD are more important since they will initially get you into a good position. I wouldn't go with shutdown coverage unless you plan to play cover 0.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking, Shutdown Coverage pretty much worthless for a safety who plays a lot of zone.
But I do like Closing Speed.

They're about even imo. Diving/Wrap Up Tackle are good, Super Vision and Change Direction are good, Closing Speed is good.
