Since I'm finally getting to the point where all 3 of my backs (1 hb, 2 fb) are done putting sp into agility, it's time to focus on the next attribute...The big question for me, since both candidates are important, which is the most important? I want them to be able to catch the ball, but I don't want them fumbling like crazy when LBs lay the smack down on them...All 3 are around the 45-50 area on both catching and carrying since they've both been part of the multi-training this whole time so it's not like they are fumble machines, but they're in no regards tackle breakers either...I guess my point is that I'm leaning towards catching, I just want a consensus to confirm it for me before I start dumping sp all over the place...What say you general public?

I guess the first question is do you plan on taking ANY SA's or % based AEQ that involve fake or break tackles? If so, I think carrying is the choice between those two.

I'm going carry on my scat atm. I'm aiming not to use ANY SP into catching. Just training it up. But yea take a read into carry and you'll also see that the higher the carry att the better chance of catching/bringing in a pass. So really it's a win win...

They will most likely have at least 1 piece of break tackle % and probably spin, so I do want a good amount of carrying, just didn't want catching to be so low to the point where they don't catch the damned ball...whats the point of tackle breaking add ons if you don't have the ball

no sp you say? interesting ...Wouldn't you want catching to hit at least 68/73 cap? From the sounds of it though carrying is probably my better option right now, thanks for enlightening me...

Carrying, most definitely. Get carrying to 74, and catching to 68.

That way your scat backs can run the ball as well and not be so easily defended against. Also the coverage a Scat Back sees is very different from the coverage a WR sees, you'll need less catching as a Scatback then a WR to produce the same results.

My catching is 51 right now so I should make it there.
