Theres the build. Basically I just want to see how I'm doing and what I should try and improve on. Kinda screwed a few things up early on in my build (see the 1 point in cover up) but I think I've done an ok job. Also I have a veteran point to use and want to know what I should use it on.

your speed agility ratio is way out of wack. More agility. Cover up and carrying wouldn't be a bad investment to be honest. It will keep you from fumbling. Some guys haven't had problems but I have. It may be because I have a Powerback, but I have seen elusives have that problem as well. You have more of a combo build though, so I think you might want to do that.

His speed agility ratio is fine. 110 speed to 88 agility. If anything, he could continue to pump speed.

My advice:

Train confidence/catching.

SPs into speed for the next couple of levels.

Ok so what Vet ability should I go to next that I maxed out Quick and Track Star? Quick Feet?

With those natural attributes, once you boost up your confidence you will zoom out of the backfield.

I don't think Quick Feet is worth it. If you have a 9 or 10 in a fake special, then sure, but you don't.

I'd say it depends on your teams situation. Do you play from behind? Are you used on screens? Do you return kicks? There has got to be something that fits you out there. Quick Feet would be like burning your VPs unless you took Headfake or Juke up to max.

And FWIW, I know this is not a popular opinion, but I love headfake and hate juke. I've experimented a fair ammount with both, and perfer maxxed headfake for high speed guys.

Mostly I just run the ball. We've had a very good team but we just moved up to AAA and we've been struggling so we've been playing from behind a bit more. I usually catch 2-3 balls a game out of the backfield but I get most of my touches on just runs.
