Is this consensus on what to do from everyone else out there?

vision yes, but if you want more "burn" from your WR, then speed is the way to go

Move all of your equipment to speed. you should be at 96ish

then work at soft capping jumping and 60 cap catching...next will probably need a jumping double cap also

this is short term.
long term would be capping agility to 68 first (since it's already 64)

Soft cap VI and Jumping first; Second cap Catching; Train CON/STA. Confidence is more important for a WR than you would think.

I'd say go more speed and put all equip there. May as well soft cap vision tho since your so close.

All right changed EQ, so up to 92.65 with +4 more EQ slots left to fill when i get the $$$$ so then it would be up to 96.65 + the Speed +4.95 because of vet bonus and that gets me up to 101.6 as soon as I can get the cash.... .... But about dropping the ball... is it vision or confidence or jumping that is screwing me up? Also I return KR about half the time in the games, so what should I have my elusive running set to with with 64 base agility and 48 vision?

Thanks guys all feedback is TOTALLY appreciated you all rock.

Cmp Drop PD Pct. Yards Lng BrTk
WR Evynne Hollens 24 13 5 6 54% 146 27 2

The high PD's are because of being slow and severely lacking jumping. 53 is not really a respectable amount of catching, hence the drops also.

This season's sim has hurt the passing game and made it much harder to build a reciever.

The problem with building a good WR is you have to look at so many things:

Strength: 11 <-- Are the DBs just knocking the ball away with more strength?
Speed: 84.65 - +4.24 (VA) = 88.89 <-- Can you out run everyone every time?
Agility: 72.14 - +1.28 (VA) = 73.52 <-- Can you make them miss, how fast can you reach top speed?
Jumping: 38.65 <-- Are you being outjumped?
Stamina: 36.65 <-- Are you tired from returning kicks, is you speed sapping your energy?
Vision: 46.65 <-- Can you adjust to a badly throw ball?
Confidence: 30.56 <-- did you have a few PDs early and now you can't catch $#!+?
Football Skills
Blocking: 9
Catching: 53.65 <-- works great if you are wide open witha perfect pass
Tackling: 10
Throwing: 8
Carrying: 29.56 <-- what happens after the balls is caught, can you tuck the ball away quickly and run RIGHT NOW?
Kicking: 9
Punting: 8

I'll be the first to admit mine is not great by any stretch but I am trying to get him there.
I just want my guy to catch the ball when thrown to him, for a WR nothing else really matters.

My opinion:

If you are looking to be an all out speedster, don't worry about jumping too much, worry about speed/agility/catching. For drops, get catching up to 60 and start training strength and carrying (dont waste SP on them). Strength over 20 and carrying over 30 with 60 catching will work wonders.

+1

Jumping is helpful but more so for a possession WR and you're going for a burner so worry about that after you get your other stuff up higher

Alright sounds good... so for right now... should I go for Strength over 20 first, Carrying over 30 first or catching over 60 first what order....

I think I will use my SP's on catching over 60... and train..... ?? STR or Carryin?

Are you using creative route running style?
You will drop a ton more than you usually would if you are, espec short passes.
