Warrior General Games

I am getting pretty frustrated that I have played in 37 Regular Season Games and I have still yet to cross the line. I am really starting to wondering why my WR sucks.

Strength:20 Blocking:8
Speed:55.02 Tackling:8
Agility:42.23 Throwing:9
Jumping:23.87 Catching:34.63
Stamina:32.61 Carrying:18.5
Vision:23.54 Kicking:9
Confidence:22.17 Punting:7

Possession Receiver Abilities
33112
Speedster Abilities
12121

Help is greatly appreciated.

Exactly

Max out your blocking and you'll have a solid TE.

no vision

Yeah , think he forgot his glasses .

Looks like you wasted a couple levels putting points into strength
those should have gone to speed, catching or vision

if you spent points in carrying, that was a bad idea too

and I can't tell which SA tree your equipment is in, but the points are too spread out in my opinion... it's probably better to concentrate in one, get it as high as you want it, then move on to another SA and do the same


You don't get a lot of separation judging by your 11 receptions this season. either that or your qbs don't like you. so, speed and agility are likely the stats to raise, if not a little vision.

look at it this way though: the most important stat for a WR is yards per reception, and yours in comparison to your teammates is not really suffering that much. from there it's trying to get the ball in your hands more often, which many struggle with. it depends on many things that have nothing to do with your WR and a few things that do.

It doesn't help that you're in the No. 2 WR spot, either. We have a "jack of all trades" WR on our team and I love him.

How do you figure?

Easy. If you have 1 receiver who averages 100 receptions a game and gains 1 yard per catch he really isn't doing anything for your team. If you have another receiver who averages 1 catch a game for 100 yards he is getting you a TD. If both of these guys were on your roster, which one would you want to make an effort to get the ball to more?

This is too extreme of an example to be useful. I can play that game too. Would you rather have a player that gets 1 reception for an average 15 yards per game, or one that gets 10 receptions for 120 yards a game?

Because on a play by play basis the one getting 12 yards per reception versus the one that gets 15 yards per reception, if they're both consistent with those numbers, the latter means more toward winning the game.

But your example is fairly extreme in itself, since 12 yards is a fairly high average. Let's put a different number there, say 8. Medium but not outstanding.
A guy that averages 8 yards per reception consistently and recieves the ball 10 times, he gets 80 yards.
Against your example of 12 yards per reception, even if he only catches the ball 4 times that game, getting 48 yards total for himself, you have to consider that there are other people who will recieve passes or even rush on other plays so the higher consistent number is more valuable. It makes the clock run down slower giving you more opportunity to clear the field, and it's more likely to get you within FG range. I could go on.

Also, the players in your example would never be on the same team, and if they were there'd be obvious Depth Chart differences. IE: the 10 reception guy is on no special teams, using all of his stamina for being a WR and the 1 reception guy is on kick returns, kick off team and kick return team, getting maybe 15-20% of the plays as a WR of the other guy.

What's wrong with the #2 spot? I'm there on my team...

Well unless #2 is your setup for a slot WR (and it likely is not), you'll be heading deep, with average speed and agility, low catching and very low vision...pretty useless. Try slants to the middle (think what a TE does)

Yards per reception really don't tell you much about a receiver. A lot of times my guy simply runs extremely short routes, 4-5 yards each. That isn't his fault, but he gets open a lot and makes big plays too.
