Hey, so i have a WR at lvl 7 right now. Im getting really confused because i have played 10 games with an average of about 40 plays/game and i never get the ball thrown to me. For 6 out of the 10 games, I have 0 yards, 0 everything. I am the highest leveled WR besides a TE, and im tied with another WR who is the same lvl as me, and he is pretty consistent as far as yards/game and everything. I dont know what im doing wrong. I started off really well for the first 2 games, and have not been able to do any better than that. Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
I have around 21-26 points for my speed, jump, catch, and agility skills individually and 3 points each in route running, sticky hands, jump catch, first step, and quick cut.
It sounds like a pretty good set up to me, and even if its not, it should definitely be getting me at least some catches and yards rather than NOTHING at all. Thanks for reading

First of all, are you in a D League team? If you are, your QB probably sucks... And I've also heard from SEVERAL people that putting SP in special abilities at a low level is a BIG mistake. It also kind of helps if you post your WR's stats...

Special abilities don't really do much until later levels. Post your build. What have you got for agility?

You have 10 dropped balls.
Try putting more points in Catching and Vision.

The other guys have even more than that, yet they've still made more plays. Something else is missing.

try retiring your wide receiver, and make a kicker, hopefully he doesn't drop the balls

I agree, you've put too much into the SAs too early, it'll be hard to recover from this. It's best to leave the SAs until you get at least 2 of your core abilities to the 1st softcap (49).

My personal opinion is to get speed to softcap ASAP, then agility. You'll still have lots of dropped balls, but at least you're getting open. Then you can get your catching, and vision up to a decent level.

Also, check that the QB isn't using bullet pass. If he is, it makes the ball harder to catch (in theory, I've never seen any evidence).

Good luck.

Ok, thanks for posting guys. So here are my stats
Strength: 10 Blocking: 9
SPEED: 26.33 Tackling: 10
AGILITY: 22.17 Throwing: 8
JUMPING: 21.67 CATCHING: 23.17
Stamina: 13.98 Carrying: 13
Vision: 13.98 Kicking: 10
Confidence: 13 Punting: 10

So apparently, it seems i have already messed up my guy, but luckily this game doesnt reset (does it?) so i still have time to correct myself. The cpu team seems to use 3 different QB's and their levels are 10, 9, and 6. Also, you guys are saying i have a lot of dropped balls, but its nothing compared to the rest of the guys on the team. I have 10 dropped balls in 10 games, so obviously thats 1 drop/game and that doesnt seem too bad. The others have like 15-20+ drops. So, i still dont understand why im not getting ANYTHING thrown at me for the past 4 games. Thanks again.
