Simple question that's probably already been asked, but screw it, I don't see a search button...


I've got a FS that I think I'd like to build towards being mainly a coverage type (its how I played in real life in high school, so yeah... sentimental reasons for that).

I've been focusing heavily on Speed, Agility, and Vision (while throwing the occaisonal stat over to my jumping and stamina) and I've just hit level 4. Should I be focusing on one of these more than the other? And when should I start focusing on things like strength and tackling (which, even as a coverage specialist, are needed)?

I'm mildly terrified that by level 10 my FS will be horribly gimped beyond repair somehow.

Comrade -

to answer some of your questions, SPD/AGI/VIS are the prime attributes to focus on for sure. Strength/Tackling is a little less cut and dry, but for being a coverage type, you'll find WR's very rarely get their strength and carrying above 20, and even fewer above 30, as most of them use Agility and Elusive running styles as their main avoidance technique. So don't leave it out of your training regiment, but STR/TKL somewhere around 25 by lvl 20, 35 by lvl 30 is a good ballpark to shoot for.

Most importantly dont assume real-life football is anything like GLB football. In this jacked up landscape, Offensive Tackles actually get increases in their TACKLING attribute every time they level up, and kickers need speed.

Good luck!
