------------------------------

Equipment is all in +Str, except 1 piece of AE that came with +1 block +1 Pancake (now +1 blocking +4 strength +3 Pancake). Have another piece of AE that has 1 upgrade in it already (+1 Str +1 First Step) which is currently not equipped but will be after next upgrade.

Here's are my options as I see them:
3rd Cap Agility
4th Cap Str (Is this absolutely unnecessary? probably)
Save points, train vision, soft cap vision
Start on SAs (lead block, then spot blitz, then... quick cut?)

Which one do you think is the best option? Currently training Stam/Confidence

I do pretty well with strength at 93.59 after equipment plus 9.04% bonus.

I wouldn't put anything else into it.

I'd suggest getting vision capped.

really nice job so far. imo vision will help with both pass and run blocking. i'd probably leave stamina at about where it is and try to train up vis/cnf until you can cap vision. i'd also suggest go ahead and 3rd cap str after next level since you're so close. may want to second cap speed for same reason. at the next level drop at least another point into lead block and possibly one into spot blitz (won't help much til your vision is upped tho) and then save points for vision.

How much effect does "Lead block" SA have?

BTW, that is a fine looking level 29 FB.

As a level 43 with 6 in Lead Block my FB takes the first defender out of the play with very few exceptions. (Disclosure: He's also over-compensated in Blocking) It also helps having good linemen in front of you to open the initial hole so the FB has a good shot at the LB or S, whichever the case may be.

Thanks for the Verification of what I need.



Is Pancake worth investing in for a FB to go with Lead Block?

not really imo, I'd take it to 2 natural (since that's relatively cheap) then just rely on the AEQ for the rest. Otherwise I find lead block to be fairly helpful.

Your strength is probably set for the lifetime of this build. Blockers need to have good vision.
