Now thats a great build for a lvl 24 SS. When people tell you to do speed and leave other stuff alone well.... don't listen to those people. Its obvious that you know a thing or two about a true strong safety. Here's what you should do next in this order ,imo:

1. Since your speed is pretty good for lvl 24 comp, go ahead and get your strength and tackling to the softcap.

2. Get your speed to 75.

3. Train vision and jumping, if there is one. I've never recall doing it. If not, train vision and put a skill point or 2 in there to get you to the softcap.

4. Jumping to 35 or better.

5. Get your agility up by at least 10 points.

By this time you will be able to get a very good idea of what you want to do next. I like coverage so maybe hands is something you want to look at next, I dunno. Don't let people try to build you player type that you don't want. This is just my opinion on what I'd do with mine because I like a safety with above-average speed, with great lateral movement that cah pick off balls, hit hard to create fumbles, and not be fooled by anything. I sacraficed some speed to get everything else, but it costs so many points after the 1 and 2 softcaps. So built everything else I wanted first before I got back to speed again. With tactics you can set them to where you WILL NOT get beat deep and can still be there to get the pick/pd or tackle. There's certain clowns in this forum that thinks different about it. You can take whoevers advice but tis is the key to the build if you're looking for a player like mine. By the time you are a lvl 33 or 34(only 9 or 10 more levels), then you could work on your speed to no end. Until then,you can still get very productive stats by having everything else and still you'll be very speedy for your level. No sweat!

ok thanks for the advice, this is my first guy and it sounds like you know what you're talking about, so i'll definitely follow it.

i saw your guy, he looks really good, especially at coverage. Unfortunately, on the team i am on i can't focus on coverage as well because they need help in defending against the run, which is what teams around my level tend to do more of than passing.

Don't feel bad, you already know more than what these clowns know. They will tell you to focus on speed and train intense for vision and agility or whatever. Training early in your career is pretty good but as you know, training don't go as far when you're barely moving the bars. Use training for attributes you will need early. When you get to the point where you hardly gain, then hit em with SP. Training don't build all of the attributes where you want them. If you use all of your SP on speed then you still have nothing but a fast guy. You have balance your SP on other things than speed, especially when you are already pretty fast. The SS is one of the biggest misconceptions in GLB, only because of the people that participates in it.

Always look who's talking. Having a single player in a capped casual league that puts up below average stats really isn't what you should be looking for - unless you plan to keep your guy till lv. 40 and retire by then.

Your player puts up good numbers because you're fast (and your team crappy). Be sure, neither receivers nor RBs will stop getting faster because you did. I guess you know what that means, right?



Just to give you a slight idea of what you're expecting at higher levels: in any decent AA team, there's at least one receiver with speed beyond 100... in AAA leagues beyond 110 and in PRO there's almost no receiver below 100 (with peaks between 120 and 130). You don't need to match that speed exactly, but don't bring a knife to a gunfight - if you know what I mean...

You realized that agility is important too. And be sure, you want some good number there too. 60 is minimum, 70 is fair.

What you neglected so far: vision. Without proper vision, you'll see the ball and/or ball carrier way to late - and you'll get faked A LOT. Most guys agree that you want 60 vision (minimum - 75+ is fine) and SA Super Vision (6-10).

Now work on that and you'll have fun for the entire career of your player.



...otherwise settle for capped casual leagues...

lmao, see what I mean RAPB is an idiot. Whats the beef with a capped casual league anyways? And what did you just say about a build that I didn't say, besides the 100 speed, lmao?

Guess what clown...... Any player over 100 speed is completely ignored. Look it up dumbass. A player with 100 speed is just as fast as a player with 120, lol. Now what?

Chargers, don't even pay any mind to this clown. Everyone agrees with him. Thats what so funny. Everybody LOVES speed. Without speed their players are no good. Speed is great. Its the best attribute of all. But if you ain't got strength you will get your ass ran over. I don't think a SS has the rep of getting ran over by RBs. If you ain't got vision then you are late on seeing plays develop and you might be able to get there in time to make a tackle. If you don't have tackling then your strength is nothing for a SS. If you don't have jumping then the SS can't make diving tackles when you're trying to run someone down and you can leap for deflections when you're trying to force an incompletion. If you have no agility then you have no quickness, no lateral movement, no jumps on the ball. If you don't have catching then you don't pick off the ball, period.

If you don't have speed then you can't do none of this stuff, right? If you spend all of your time making a 90+ speed safety then you will inadequate points on everything else as a level 24 but you will get there fast before you get your ass ran over, dropping an interception, running a man down behind without diving at him, and being on the opposite side of the field where the ball actually is.

THATS STUPID.

Get your attributes up and finish your speed. Its absolutely ignorant to do what he says. Thats why his SS sucks.

Hmm.. interesting. I guess playing four years of HS ball AT SS and four years of college ball AT SS isn't enough to know anything, but pc nerds like yourself know more about 8 years of my life than I do? OK, run along little fella
