Build review

[Cedo]

First that's only advices. That's my opinion and that can be discussed. I don't know the codes which run the game (like everyone) but i have some experience.

Second: if i criticize a build don't take this personnaly, i criticize a build not the way you do it, not what you though. And perhaps you will be right on long term

Third: The most difficult is to build a player for long term AND short term. Generally that's quite easy to do one but not both.

Fourth: If you have a question or a doubt or if you don't think i'm right, just say it i will try to debate


let's start!


(QB) Sergeant Rock: As starter you need more stamina +5 will be ok then priority is strength. Then i will tell my secret, train on agility that decrease a lot the INTs . For SA, Field general is awesome in 4th quarter
(QB) El Jefe Tiberon: lvl 6 so i will not have much to say. Scrambler SA is a waste with actual GLB. Quickly raise your vision and strength.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(HB) Colton Kidd: That's pretty hard to say this when you are a stranger but you are doing a mistake or misleading. You are an elusive back so you DON'T need any strength at all. Redo your equipment you have invested points in nothing usefull. Confidence is quite low, catching, stamina and carrying too.

(HB) Gimme Six: Outch! Stamina 18 Hb is one of the position which need the most energy and so stamina! you must be near 30 actually. Balance in GLB don't pay. You must choose elusive or power back. Until i know what you want to do, i can't tell what you need

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(FB) Darth Fhader: Redo your equipment. You need to focus on only 2-3 max attributes. When you reach 48 that's totally worth it. Even if you don't carry the ball much, you must increase your speed and your agility. If you want to run the ball more add strentgh too. Think about more carrying and more "lead block"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(C) Ishmael Boorg: Your build is great but redo your equipment. Work on agility
(C) Dirk "Wrecker" Garthwaite: just copy paste the starter
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(G) Runnophf Myhughass: Equipment too but great build. i think you must work on your agility before your speed. A little low vision but nothing severe.
(G) Getoutamy Wayorpay: Equipment too. More blocking and agility
(G) Henry "Bulldozer" Camp: build ok continue
(G) Brian "Piledriver" Calusky: Build ok continue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(OT) Cobblepot Chesterfield : Redo equipment. 2 points on pancake is not worth it if you have only 44 on strength. Speed and agility are awesome.
(OT) Anton Chigurgh: Nothing to say ^^
(OT) Arkady Rossovich: same as above
(OT) Eilot "Thunder Ball" Franklin: work for a build like the two ahead
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(TE) Shepherd German: 15 drops is a way too much!!! Why? because you can't jump and your agility is quite low. Equipment on catching? i'm not a fan of this... but why not. A little more vision is needed to avoid drops too. Put some points on Run block
(TE) Punishing Hands: Redo equipment. You need more blocking and jumping as high priority. Then you have vision, speed and agility as medium priority
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(WR) Taikento DaHaus: More agility needed and redo one piece of equipment to have only 2-3 attributes boosted. your vision is quite low
(WR) Neito Riba: A possession receiver without jumping is a receiver without arms. Then vision and a little more agility
(WR) The J0KER: same tough about equipment on catching like TEs. need 5 points on jumping. A little more stamina and vision too. Good build!
(WR) Jammin U'up: see neito Riba for your infos


Offense is done. Apparently there's a big trouble with equipment and some builds. I think there's few critical situations and the rest is ok with some time and patience. For the equipment that will be costly but needed before the even more costly lvl 24 equipment upgrade.

(HB) Gimme Six: Outch! Stamina 18 Hb is one of the position which need the most energy and so stamina! you must be near 30 actually. Balance in GLB don't pay. You must choose elusive or power back. Until i know what you want to do, i can't tell what you need

I think he's probably best set to become a more elusive back, but he has scored a lot of goalline TDs. I admit, I really don't know where to go with him (other than work on stamina for a bit). He performs great, but the stamina keeps him on the bench. He averages 6.1 a carry with 9 TDs, and gets a lot of goalline work or he'd average even higher. He's really good to the outside. I have him set to run elusive though, and that's where his tree is built up mostly so that answers that question I guess.

Where to go from here, now that he's definitely elusive?

(G) Runnophf Myhughass: Equipment too but great build. i think you must work on your agility before your speed. A little low vision but nothing severe.

Roger...agility is on the plate to be taken care of. I just altered my equipment (can't do one yet..$$) and upped blocking to 60 now.

(WR) Taikento DaHaus: More agility needed and redo one piece of equipment to have only 2-3 attributes boosted. your vision is quite low

Redid some equipment so he's now focused on catching, speed and a little on vision (one also has agility, but I'm ok with that if you are). This guy should really be putting up much better numbers than he is. He's my only player of all 5 I have that I'm disappointed in. (2 are in our Czar league).


Thanks...this is all around fantastic advice.

I believe strength helps your stamina. Not sure how much though.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(C) Ishmael Boorg: Your build is great but redo your equipment. Work on agility
(C) Dirk "Wrecker" Garthwaite: just copy paste the starter

IMO all equipment for a C should be split between strength and blocking. Once you reach the second cap it will really make a difference. Attributes in order of importance: Strength, blocking, agility, vision

(WR) The J0KER: same thought about equipment on catching like TEs. need 5 points on jumping. A little more stamina and vision too. Good build!

Thanks Cedo!

Side note: For the QB (Rock) - early in the season I dropped 2 points onto "on the run" and shifted my QB as a scrambler to deal with the pass rush. That's about all I'm looking to invest in the scrambler abilities. Training is set on agility - I'll get his stamina straightened out.

The 4 Olinemen (the wrecking crew) - I'll keep plugging away.

J0ker is close to leveling up. I'll soft cap out agility and then focus on jumping and vision.

 

[Cedo]

I believe strength helps your stamina. Not sure how much though.

That's wrong. Strength with carrying is about break tackles. I have a good HB with 18 strength so you see

 

[Cedo]

I think he's probably best set to become a more elusive back, but he has scored a lot of goalline TDs. I admit, I really don't know where to go with him (other than work on stamina for a bit). He performs great, but the stamina keeps him on the bench. He averages 6.1 a carry with 9 TDs, and gets a lot of goalline work or he'd average even higher. He's really good to the outside. I have him set to run elusive though, and that's where his tree is built up mostly so that answers that question I guess.

Where to go from here, now that he's definitely elusive?

Ok then if you want to go elusive:
You need 15 points of agility then carrying. Of course stamina is your first problem by now. Train for jumping it helps to avoid tackles and defense in the box. Then train for catching

 

[Cedo]

Ok then i must go for defense:


(DT) Eraldo Coil: Agility then speed for a pass rusher. Train for blocking. Bort said that can help shed blocking and other stuffs
(DT) Plugging Da'hole: redo your equipment with the +1 vision not necessary. Actually you must work on agility and strength. Don't forget some points on D-line general
(DT) Jojo Kraco: equipement on stamina for early stage can be very usefull so good call. Lot of work to do of course
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(DE) Dick Sutcliffe: tackle is low and actually your DE is blind... difficult to sack anybody if you can't see Of course i talk about what your need in future because you have great stats and a excellent build.
(DE) Yurazz Ismine: Of course equipment then speed/agility + vision
(DE) Slade Wilson: equipment too. For a lvl 11 you need actually 2 points on stamina and agility
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(LB) Nathan Hodel: Stop spend SP on strength. Your build is good continue on this way
(LB) Bane Knightfall : equipment of course. As a LOLB, you need a good acceleration so agility is needed. A little more vision and ST then i will tell train on jumping. Jumping helps a lot with diving tackle!!!
(LB) Nikolai Fury: Equipement. More than any LB, a MLB need a lot of vision to see which play is called. Then you need agility and speed. For a powerfull MLB, you need strength too. Like i said, think of jumping for training
(LB) Danny "Iron Fist" Rand: Train confidence, use SP to up strength in high priority then speed/agility. Add 3 points on tackling whenever you like. That is for the next levels. SA tree must be developped a little later
(LB) Lewkas Cage: equipement and then agility/speed
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General advice. Miss-tackles come from a low strength and tackling. So i will not repeat myself

(CB) Eric Swann: Strength and jumping. I know you are not a shutdown corner but that can help a lot. Stop stamina you are good for near your whole career ^^
(CB) Capitan Planeta: same as above
(CB) Stuckto You: equipment. For a shutdown CB, you need a lot of jumping, vision, catching and of course some speed/agility
(CB) Another Benchplayer: same as Stuckto You
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SS: I have met recently a big problem with my own starter SS. He is a run stuffer SS but we discovered that on GLB we need run stuffer+coverage SS. You can change your DC each time to adapt yourself to oppoment but sincerely that's better to do a balanced player. For once i tell this that's true...
(SS) Victor Creed: Agility, stamina (25) and catching
(SS) ****** Miller: Stop strength for a coverage SS. Agility, jumping and catching will be priority
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FS) Plenty OfRange: equipment then vision, tackling and strength
(FS) Paisley Hawk: try to copy paste the starter. You lack for now a lot of vision, agility and strength. A little tackling is needed too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(K) Shulkie Walters: agility is needed too. Train tackling, sometimes, the k is the last defender of the team...
(P) Stretchin D'afield: a little more stamina then agility will be good. Good build.

 

[Djaughe]

That's wrong. Strength with carrying is about break tackles. I have a good HB with 18 strength so you see

Yer too polite Cedo.

In these parts we use this smiley to get our point across:

 

[Djaughe]

Keep on training

I'm slowly re-issuing contracts now to the rest of the team (about 4 a day) - while keeping an eye on the budget the next day.

Remember to maximize your training while targeting yer energy to be near 100 by the next game.

However if yer energy is going to fall short - just train on relax on one of the secondary attributes.

DO NOT SACRIFICE EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING SKILL POINTS.

LOOL

BTW, sorry for the budget and equipment but we all did this mistake when we have begun GLB . Spreading equipment is good low level but then you must redo it!

For explanation: after 48 all +1 cost 2 SP so that's better to increase with equipment than SP
There's a next step with 68 for 1/3 etc...

 

[Djaughe]

....(LB) Danny "Iron Fist" Rand: is hidden....

Doh!


Fixed!

No problem.

I'm also redoing contracts to better afford some of the players (exp. contracts Season 5 Day 1) while gunning to max out the stadium seats early in the season.

(HB) Colton Kidd: That's pretty hard to say this when you are a stranger but you are doing a mistake or misleading. You are an elusive back so you DON'T need any strength at all. Redo your equipment you have invested points in nothing usefull. Confidence is quite low, catching, stamina and carrying too.

Thanks for the input.

I am maxed out on Speed and Agility for the so when I train I need 2 skill points to increase these.

How do you suggest I distribute the Points I dedicated to strength? Do you suggest Confidence and carrying?

I am training on Stamina and here is my EQ:

BTW - Thanks for taking the time to help us out.

Your input is soooo welcome!

I knew that so that's why i didn't talk about speed and agility

Apparently we talk about 4 points. I think you must use those 4 points on agility. Because a lot of your SA skills need high agility to activate.

 

[Cedo]

Doh!

Review done

When you have the time - Can you expand on this?

I've been working the team on "confidence" to get to a min. of 25 in order to "activate" the SA's - but yer post reads like there are other minimum "triggers" related to the attributes to fully maximize SAs.

 

[Cedo]

Juke and spin need agility to be effective. First step is a bonus to agility too.

For confidence, that's very usefull but i never heard or see that allow activation of skills...

Confidence is for example needed for a CB if he allows the WR to catch the ball. Generally you recover half your morale loss if you tackle him. Then you have D-line who need confidence when they are pancaked otherwise they suck... Confidence help on critical times 4th and late etc...

So confidence generally is the most underrated attribute of GLB. You have not made mistakes when you have increased your team confidence. That's worth it!

 

[jf-08]

For LBs, their SA's trigger with Confidence.

 

[Djaughe]

Importance of BUILDING SMART...

and player development.

Example...last year this team had nothing but lvl 1 guys and they stuck to the plan on "slow building" (i.e. train train boost at the end of the season)...this year check out their roster with just lvl 17 guys.

In year three these guys are gonna rock.

According to the scout charts - their on par with the Czars.

My bad... that's right for 2 first skills of each SA.

Yes confidence depends of the position can be important for SA. But sincerely i'm not sure "The Glare" "snarl" and co is really effecitve...

Some players have tried special players with those skills maxed out. I don't know if it was effective or not.

For a LB generally i prefer see him tackle the guy than trying to intimidate him lool. But that's my opinion... that can be effective against low confidence HB only. Generally Qbs have enormous confidence

Kalmanc, i know him. He has a player who's name "Perfect build". That's a truely a beast of a DT... he played for me last season and sincerely i was sad when he left. I'm sure this team will rock very soon

 

[jf-08]

I knew that so that's why i didn't talk about speed and agility



Apparently we talk about 4 points. I think you must use those 4 points on agility. Because a lot of your SA skills need high agility to activate.

I redid my EQ.

I have 1 more piece that I am going to sell - the shirt and drop all points in Agility.

 

[Djaughe]

.... Generally Qbs have enormous confidence

Are you thinking like 40+ ?
