Move half your EQ into agility. Get vision to the next cap.

I typically give fairly lengthy responses in order to help on all angles. Hope you don't mind. The thing that sticks out to me that makes me LOVE your build is that jumping! While I would perhaps have preferred if Speed and Agility had reached the 77 cap and Vision to 73 cap slightly sooner, that Jumping, IMO, definitely makes up for it. Solid!

SPs:
1. Take two entire non-AEQ pieces and put them into agility.
2. As close as Speed and Agility are to 77, go ahead and take them to that cap.
3. Vision to 73.
4. Vision to 77.
5. FS to base 4 and CD to base 6.
6. Get SDC to base 6.

Training:
1. Train Tackling/Strength to 40ish each.
2. Stamina/Confidence until Stamina is 40+.
3. Catching/Vision or Catching/Jumping until Catching is 48.
3. Tackling/Strength to 48-cap.

VAs (if there is a reset):
Ball Hawk: 5 (Honestly, IMO, Ball Hawk is a great VA, but it seems to result all too often in overcompensation in the replays.)
3rd Down Stopper: 15
Long Reach: 10 (This is wonderful when combined with 3rd Down Stopper. PD monster.)
Football Genius: 3 (will be just enough to get a full attribute point bonus to vision)

1. Long Reach to 15.
2. I would look to either take Football Genius to 15 or even look into Clutch, which seems to be a common item of discussion as the "4th VA" for CBs.
3. Do whichever you don't do in #2.

^^pretty much this... except, speed and agility are fine. no more SPs should go there, and i dont think i would take vision to 77... honestly dont think you'll have time. 73 should be good. i also dont see why you would want FS at 4, and then only take CD to 6. imo, FS is just a necessary evil for CD. if you only want CD at 6, you should only bring FS to 3. im also gonna guess that you are a man spec CB, so there is no way in heck that you should bring SDC to 6 base. with a piece of AEQ, and the bonus being roughly ~20% (supposedly), you should only need to bring it up to 4. (4+4)1.2=9.6 . anything over 10 is pretty much a waste as diminishing returns are apparently ginormous. and then for VAs... not LR. LR is terribad. even with 3rd down stopper, it is not worth an investment of VPs. if you loose the initial PD roll, i dont think rolling to see if you can get a re roll that you already lost once is going to help you much. and im also going to have to wholeheartedly disagree with his take on BH... BH=god of CB VAs. get that to 10 asap. the VA isnt what makes you over jump routes. its tactics as well as a myriad of other things that i dont really want to get into right now. but in short, if you have BH and you play off the WR, you shouldnt have many issues with over jumping routes...

ha, but now that im done dissecting that advice, the rest is right on. what he has down for training and all that is good. do that.

Vision on a CB is key.......


Speed and Agility should both be under 100.....I like a 90 90 mix......


Vision should be a minimum 77, and then use the VA for vision.......I have a CB that has over 80 vision and I still have a 5% training rating on it....
