I did one of the test builds, SA heavy. Now that he's lvl 13 it seems nobody wants him on their team. Seems everyone is looking for a more stereotypical HB, which I could have made and have one already. Here's his attributes:

Strength: 14.97 Blocking: 12.4
Speed: 38.73 Tackling: 9
Agility: 35.97 Throwing: 12.4
Jumping: 12.4 Catching: 12.4
Stamina: 24.09 Carrying: 15.97
Vision: 24.3 Kicking: 8
Confidence: 14.97 Punting: 9

Elusive Back Tree
7-9-2-2-1

Can somebody please give me some advice, thanks.

Well, that's 21 points which could be better used somewhere else...
So I'd go with yes.
In 40 days, you should be around level 7, so it's not that bad.

Someone will give him a chance when new teams come out for next season.

Just pump agility now (get it to around 60), add a few to Juke as well and then work on speed/vision/carrying. He should be a good change-of-pace for a team with a bruising runner then.

Dont retire him. With the amount of SAs you have in head fake and quick cut, with a good amount of speed/agility you could really do some damage. Obviously its going to take some time to get there, especially with your low carrying/conf/vision, but at least you have done what a lot of people fail to do and that is specialise your SAs. Just add those essential physical attributes and he will be a catch for any team.

Dude, I'd take him on my team if it weren't already set at HB. :/

Don't retire him. Just work on getting his speed and agility up. If you're interested, I'd sign him as a KR/PR? With his SA's I think he could really make the kickoff team look silly!

Yea I think it's too early to ask yourself this question. Level 13 is nothing, it's like an eye blink in the player's career. You've got tons of time.

You're recommending that he add even more to specials?

PUMP AGILITY. Seriously. You will get some good use out of those SAs once you do that

Wow, retire him.

You're gonna have so many less attribute points than other players at equivalent levels, he'll be awful in the 20's.

It's way more than 21 points.

You can still be very productive, you are just going about it differently and actually you have maximized your training since you've spent so many SA's so now you just spend Sp's on speed and agility for the rest of your career.

I do realize he was a test build but in my eyes something good could still come from him. As a whole, none of us really know what to expect from the future of GLB because every season Bort does random crazy changes to the game that alters our characters and makes us do drastic changes to our builds, and the nerfs and other things.

For this season and maybe a few after this, because it's his first real season not in a Dleague he's going to get signed just for mainly kick returns and punt returns, a position that could work out, could not. I just used his 3 boosts for this season and got his agility and speed up some and I'll boost at the beginning of the year maybe a few games deep and get the speed/agi up more while focusing on his carrying and confidence with the daily training.
