Hi,I'm new on the punting thing(although I have a good kicker) but i just created a Punter and I have calculated what I am wanting for him.

Actually,I'm wanting to turn him into an all-purpose punter the way Sammy Baugh was,but i want to have Great punting before working on Throwing,tackling and speed...etc. Baugh was a QB,DB and P btw) Here's my guy: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=1761435

He's slowbuilding for almost 2 full seasons....

I ran across thiat gold bar thread into a few pages and caught someone posting and saying that the gold bar in punting reaches when you hit 79.125? or something like that...

Well,when I looked at my sheet from my building plans,I noticed i would hit that when my player hit level 16...

I'm at level 3 now and have punting capped...then I stopped!

I wanted to cap my otehr primary in Confidence,before going back to punting...

I will have Confidence capped at level 5..

Then I start training Vision,while dumping EVRYTHING into punting until I reach level 21.(that's when we stop getting a full 1-point in our primaries..right?)

Here's what I have from level 5 to level 21 for my player...

Level 5
Punting=52
Confidence=49
Then I start training vision...(daily for shopping tokens)

Level 7 (2 seasons of SB(11,12,then sign on D-league on day 41....boost X3 at end of season 13)
Punting=59
Confidence=51

Level 8 (X1 boost)
Punting=62 (2nd cap)
Confidence=52

Level 10(X2 boosts separately)
Punting=67
Confidence=54
1 skill point remaining....

Level 11 (boost X3 again separately at start of season 13 D-league)
Punting=69
Confidence=55
2 skill points remaining...

Level 12
Punting=71
Confidence=56
3 skill points remaining

Level 13
Punting=74
Confidence=57
Should have vision where I want to stop..anywhere from 25-30
Start training Strength w/daily training and shopping tokens also

Level 14
Punting=76
Confidence=58

Level 15
Punting=78
Confidence=59

level 16
Punting=79
Confidence=60
Is this where I reach the Gold bar in Punting?

Level 17
Punting=81
Confidence=61
4 skill points remaining...

Level 18
Punting=83
Confidence=62
2 skill points remaining

Level 19
Punting=84
Confidence=63
7 skill points remaining...

Level 20
Punting=86
Confidence=64
4 skill popints remaining....

Level 21
Punting=88
Confidence=65

This is when I stop putting points in Punting and begin capping Vision and Strength when I can...while training whatever..throwing...agility..speed..we'll see (Probably start with Intense for bonus tokens here for AE)

this is when I don't get 1 point in my primaries as well and longer...

Both Vision and Strength should be around 30 or so in attribute....I could probably cap each one every 3 levels...24 cap vision...27 cap strength..(49 each here)

Is this a fairly good start for my punters build?

Gold bar at level 16? No. Not even close.

nah, you are thinking of just the skill itself. You havent even looked into the lolbars.

^^^THis. 79.125 is the Punting BAR number you're looking for, not the amount of punting.

As for your plan, I applaud your long term thinking. However, it's generally a waste to cap confidence at all until you're done with punting. You want punting WAY higher than confidence. Those SP are far better off in punting than confidence, at least until you get punting to the 4th or 5th cap.

Further, doing con so early screws your option for Vis/Con intense training. Once you've capped punting on a punter, there's no good reason to not train intense unless you want shopping tokens. And with eq like it is now, I'd argue that building up shopping tokens in advance is a waste.

Thank you for your imput guys and keep them coming please!!
