I haven't had any reception in the last 8 weeks, not even targeted. I was wondering is it my build or is there something with the Offensive AI? I've never been a coordinator so maybe I'm just very low priority to throw to or something. Here are the 3 TE's on my team they both get catches every game and the first string usually leads the team in catches. I still get my max plays a game so doesn't hurt me any experience wise, but I would like to know what's up, either my build has a problem or I'm just not being used by my team. Any advice or suggestions would be helpful.

First String TE

Strength:30.5
Blocking:31.5
Speed:58.56 (+6
Agility:22.56 (+3)
Jumping:14
Catching:66.5 (+9)
Stamina:20.56
Carrying:25.56
Vision:50.5


Second string TE numbers

Strength 40
Blocking:47
Speed:86.06 (+18)
Agility:15.06
Jumping:23
Catching:31
Stamina:13.06
Carrying:13.06
Vision:24

MY 3rd string TE

Strength:26.5
Blocking:23.5
Speed:68.23 (+19)
Agility:37.23
Jumping:12
Catching:64.5
Stamina:21.23
Carrying:13.23
Vision:63.5

Problem #1: You are 3rd string.
Problem #2: You play on every single special teams unit except FG block, which your team hasn't assigned anyone to.
Problem #3: You are level 20 so you have low stamina and confidence.

You will only come in when the 1st and 2nd string TEs are both more tired than you are. The 2nd string TE has lower stamina, but he is only on 2 special teams, the kickoff and kickoff return teams, instead of being on 5. All the extra running is making it harder for him to get into the game on offense and making him play worse when he does.

The game box score page has a nice section that shows you how many plays various players got on special teams. Subtract that from your total number of plays and you can see how much time you really spend on the field on offense. Last game your offense had something like 80 plays of offense (38 passes, 42 rushes) and your TE was in for 26 of them.

Most teams usually have 2 TE's. 3 is gonna limit your plays lots.

next season go somewhere with 2 TE's max.

Thanks, so basically I need to get moved up the depth chart or pump up stamina to get in more plays. Oh, well , I already chalked it up as a suck A$$ season, hopefully next year I'll be in a better spot.

I wouldn't work on stamina too much just yet, there are other things you could do first to be better in the long run.
