Okay, I've created a back, Jerious "Darkness" Norwood, who is going to be a purely experimental build. I'm not going to waste any SP on boosting him merely because it's not worth using the SP on something that I don't know for sure will work.

Anyways...what I'm planning on doing is going SA heavy for Jerious. I'm going to focus all of my SP special abilities until they're all at 8. Crazy? Abso-freaking-lutely. Effective? Nobody knows yet. That's the idea. I'll have Quick Cut at 8 at level 3. Every 4 levels afterwards, I'll have another Head Fake at 8. Think about it. Once I get QC and HF up to 8, I'm going to soft cap agility, then back to SAs. I'm planning on pumping all of my equipment points into agility, as well. I'll put 4 into First Step, because it isn't really a technique, but then I'll get Juke up to 8. That's the point that I'll increase Speed to the soft cap and carrying to around 30. Then, I'll get Spin to 8. That's the plan for now. Will it work? I don't know, but how FUNNY would it be if it did?

Interesting.

Seems to me you should get agility to 61, and then spend on SAs, if you're going to run this.

That would take alot longer than I think he's planning on doing for this test. And it's not as fun.

I have two test HB's that are still very low level. I'm thinking of making a third.

One will have low SA with great vision, speed, and agility (and decent other stats) while the other is going to have great SA, agility, and speed/vision being nearly equal.

I want to see how much being fast actually matters when you have moves, what vision does, and how much the SA's really matter.

Game 1 results are up. I'm satisfied considering his stats being so low.

Keep us posted. I would like to see how he is doing by LVL 5 - 8 or so!

Game 2 results up. Nothing spectacular yet. So far, he has a 3.7 YPC. Just a little below average.

Game 3 results are up, and thank goodness he's going to level up tonight so I can start putting points into Head Fake.

You should boost him anyways. You get 70% of that back so it's not like you're out the whole amount.

And if he ends up owning everyone, you'll be glad you did!

I can't really afford it. I have to keep up with the players that I'm actually serious about. If I had about 2000 more flex points I would. I'm contemplating it, believe me.

You should also pump up his stamina so he gets more playing time. If he;s in the D-leagues, you won't need to do it too much, bu 10 stamina won't get you much playing time(aka less XP and leveling slower).

Well...I boosted him. He's level 5 now. He just played a game with 8 QC and 6 HF, and failed miserably.

First post has been updated.

Congratulations. I'm glad you're doing well. You also have 5 more rushes than me in 1 less game. I'd love to get more touches, because the type of back that we're building needs more touches to break that big run. One big run makes YPC look much higher than it is realistically.

Also, I just updated the first post. I've fully boosted him, and he SHOULD level up to 7 tomorrow, when I'm putting all 5 points into Agility. I'm planning on soft capping Agility before moving on to FS/Juke, then filling him out more before moving on to Spin.
