Which is better, to not spend SPs, get less playing time and beat out by a fast build, thus less XPs.

Or do you spend SPs, lvl up, add some to Stamina and play majority of game and bank in on the XPs?

I tried both last season. Creating 1 player day 1 who shared time at QB. and another who I lvld up and spent all points on who played all but a few downs a game.

The quicker build with more playing time now has better numbers after all points are spent on both by far.

I could see if you are getting playing time no matter what, but it seems that owners are getting more and more pressure to win, make money, and move up. If you own a team and it is full of a bunch of slow builds, it will flop and you will go broke, and be forced to sell it back or loose it.

So really I guess my question is, does anyone else see slow building as being more and more penalized? In theory, when GLB was new, with fewer players I can see how it would be a players market and better to slow build, but... well it seems to be evolving?

Or not.

I see slow building as still beneficial but only if you do it right. It will take many seasons before your player has anything to show for it but he will come out ahead (if built correctly) in the long run. Most people want to have player who plays well early on so you see less and less slow building. It is boring to go through season after season with a true slow build player. Even a lot of the people who claim to be "slow building" really aren't.

I am working on a player right now where I will not even put SP's into him for a full season because I will use training points to capitalize on all his major attributes. My player will have horrible seasons for the next 4-5 probably but after that he will begin to edge out ahead because of the benefit of capitalizing on my training points.

I've got to admit when I saw the link I was expecting a lot out of the QB you posted and I certainly was dissapointed.

Lol, total typo, I actually meant to put I wasn't dissapointed, he's probably the best QB I've ever seen under level 40, once he gets his SAs up a bit later on he'll be an absolute beast.

That being said, no I don't think he's almost as good as my level 60 QB (who also has 20 points unspent)

I think he's put up some outstanding stats playing for some top teams (Invaders last season, Gunfighters and Chaos in Africa and SA Pro before that), though I started him before I knew about slow building so I'm sure by time you get to level 60 your guy will be better then mine is now at level 60.

Ahh you're forgiven then
Well when you only have one play to build you have to make him good

My plan for him is to finish 3rd capping str
then finish 2nd capping conf then I'll begin to dump into SA's
Maybe I'll cap agility sometime

Sounds like a plan, I'd be very interested to see how his build looks when he's a level 50. I think he has superstar written all over him.
