All my equipment is in catching except +2 vision from what was on my AE when I bought it. (Now +2 vis, +4 catching +3 one hand catch). I know I should increase my jumping but what else should I do? Going to be a free agent tomorrow due to being too high of a level for my current team. Is being at least a 3rd WR on a AAA team or 2nd WR on a AA team to much ask? Here is my build and thank you very much for any suggestions: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=595939 .

increase Jumping & Jump Catch
Bump Run Route~

Then work on Speed (via skill points and/or VA's)

Also, want to join the 300?
Slot WR Spot for ya!

AAA Team (getting Bumped)

Far as position on Teams?
depends on OC

For Us - we look at how well your WR is playing?

I would line you up at 3rd slot - put you in rotation on the 1 & 2 slot (3rd deep).
Most likely - you want to contact the owner/OC and talk up your player to get a few snaps in during the scrimmages to prove he can bring down the rock!

Love to have you play on a Champion Team

Take a look at the 300.

Interested - check out the 300

Equipment fund to cover ALL equipment needs – in fact we have spent millions on players, so they could buy second sets of equipment that have learned (the hard way – like many (me included)) where it should have been.

Don't touch blocking anymore! Train confidence, carrying and strength to 40, get stamina to 48 and then get the others up to 48.

VAs should go in track star and quick once you 15 point soft hands.

Wouldn't hurt to get speed and agility to 68 at some point, but get your possession SAs all to level 6 first.

You have an odd build simply for the ultra high catching, how high is it naturally. There are a lot of AA teams that would take you on as a slot receiver, though your lacking in a few areas. Mob kinda has the right idea but is taking a long term approach to it. Your build is very much in the realms of a possession WR, and as such needs a few key essentials that you lack.

Firstly, your speed is fine, 60 is the low end but it's not low enough to hurt you (my own WR makes do with 60 speed and performs fine). As far as making receptions, 89 is very solid, and isn't to be sniffed at even if you are outlevelling the league your in. To improve your chances at an equal level league you need a defining stat (jumping/speed), or a combo of catching stats (catching/agility/confidence/vision/strength) that outweigh opposing CBs in the catching matchup.
Easiest of these to get up would be jump if your after a single stat (taking it to 80 myself with the VA high jumper and next seasons boost) as it works most with your SA tree, or if your looking to round out your current build capping strength or confidence are cheap options to improve results.

As far as the SAs in your tree, I rate them Sticky Hands>Jumping Catch>Diving Catch>Route Run>1-Hand Catch, though others have differing opinion. If you do go with jumping as your stat to work, jump and diving catch very much aid the build, but require good jumping to really excel. The other stats give small overall boosts and are less reliant on support stats to make them work.

Hope that helps you make your choice, it's a nice solid build that just needs a few final style flourishes to take shape.

TTD, FWIW I think that high catching in and of itself is enough of a defining stat and doesn't need to be part of a combo. He has an impressive 79% catch ratio. It'll only get better if he adds separation or more hands abilities.

Jumping gives seperation Mob, i'd class it in the same realm as speed, only you need it less high than speed because the CBs work it less. You either go over them or past them... Catching i'm less convinced by, i'd put it maybe just behind speed or jumping. You also have to consider he's been at 79% in a league where he supposedly outlevels his team, i'd be curious if he also outlevels the opposition.

catching > jumping (by a long way IMO)

Speed is the #1 attribute for any decent WR but I think I may even put catching over agility in importance.

Do you have a WR to prove this claim Chicago (jumping is worthless), as your pretty much pushing the cookie cutter super high speed, 60 catching build there.
