In this post, we will look at 2 Tight end archetypes; Receiving and Blocking.  I am not going to post a combo build.  If I was going to go with a combo Tight end it would be a Superstar build.  If I do not have a Superstar TE I like to rotate 2 Receiving TEs.    In a future post, we can explore Superstar Tight ends.

Receiving Tight end

Important Skills for Receiving TEs

I think of my Receiving TE like another Possession WR.  I always start with the physicals...

Conditioning to 45+

Toughness to 30

Heart to 40 +

Balance to 40+

Watch your game film to see if he is getting open and add more sprint when needed.  Focus on Hands, Consistency and Catch in Traffic.  Make sure to keep an eye on Receiving and carrying grip.

Blocking Tight end  (I would use this build in a Run Heavy Offense)

Important Skills for Blocking TEs

Always start with the physicals...

Conditioning to 45+

Toughness to 30

Heart to 40 +

Balance to 40+

This guy is 100% run blocking, no pass blocking no receiving.  Focus on  Run Block Tech, Run Block Aware, Lead Block Aware, Consistency and Run Block Power to 50ish.

In this post, I will focus on the 3 WR archetypes that I use.  Speedy, Shifty Possession, and Slot.  In a future post, we can explore Superstar WRs.

Speedy

Important Skills for Speedy WR

These Physicals are often overlooked by new players and are very important as they form the base of your player.

Conditioning to 45+

Toughness to 30

Heart to 40 +

Balance to 40+

Sprinting and Receiving Hands are your most important skills. After that, are Receiving Consistency and Catch in Traffic.  Then work on maxing Receiving and carrying grip.  You don't want to be a fumble machine.

Shifty Possession

Important Skills for Possession WR

Conditioning to 45+

Toughness to 30

Heart to 40 +

Balance to 40+

The Shifty Possession WR does not rely on sprinting as much as a Speed WR does.  BUT you don't want a sloth in this position either.  Watch your game film to see if he getting open and add more sprint when needed.  Focus on Hands, Consistency and Catch in Traffic.  Make sure to keep an eye on Receiving and carrying grip.

Slot

Important Skills for Slot WR

Conditioning to 45+

Toughness to 30

Heart to 40 +

Balance to 40+

I build my Slot receiver like my Possession receiver.  The difference between my Possession receiver and my slot receiver build is my choice for my second Signature Ability.  On my slot receiver, I go with Slot Receiver whereas, on my Possession receiver, I go with Head Fake.

O-Line for Beginners

My plans are to begin with builds for various positions then talk about how to build a team.  After going over various team builds I will move on to offensive and defensive playbooks and tactics.  This should keep us busy for awhile.  I am sure other topics will present themselves along the way.

I believe that there are a lot of different O-Line builds out there.  In this post, I will be sharing with you the builds that I use.  I encourage readers, both experienced and inexperienced, to post appropriate questions and comments so that we can all build a better O-Line.

Center

Important Skills for a Center

I start by getting Conditioning to 45+ (the higher the better), Toughness to 40+, Heart to 30 and Balance to 40 - 50.

For Blocking Skills I focus on Run Block Tech, Pass Block Tech, Run Block Awareness, Pass Block Awareness and Block Consistency.  More Tech than Aware and More Run than Pass.  I personally do not invest much in Run Block Power or Pass Block Power. 

A small investment in Snap Reaction, Footwork and Quickness is helpful.

Pulling Guard

Important Skills for a Pulling Guard

Like with my Center,  I start by getting Conditioning to 45+ (the higher the better), Toughness to 40+, Heart to 30 and Balance to 40 - 50.

For Blocking Skills I focus on Run Block Tech, Run Block Awareness,  Block Consistency and Lead Block Awareness.  I personally do not invest much in Run Block Power or Pass Block Power. 

Sprinting, Footwork and Quickness are important in that order.  Watch your games and make sure that your guard is getting out front to block for your HB.

Combo Off Tackle

Important Skills for Combo Off Tackle

  I start all of my O-line builds by getting Conditioning to 45+ (the higher the better), Toughness to 40+, Heart to 30 and Balance to 40 - 50.

For Blocking Skills I focus on Run Block Tech, Pass Block Tech, Run Block Awareness, Pass Block Awareness and Block Consistency.  With my OTs I try to balance their Run Blocking and Pass Blocking Skills.  A lot of the blitzes that you will see come from the outside so it is very important for your QB that your OTs can at least slow down the outside rush.

I personally do not invest much in Run Block Power or Pass Block Power.

This one is easy and maybe a bit boring.  For beginners, I recommend starting with your bread and butter blocking Fullback.  In my experience, there are not enough good plays for rushing or receiving FBs.  Maybe in a future post we can investigate receiving HBs and FBs for use in Pass Heavy offenses.
Without further ado...

Blocking Fullback

Important Skills for Blocking Fullbacks
*  Run Block Tech
*  Run Block Awareness
*  Lead Block Awareness
*  Block Consistency
* Conditioning
* Toughness 40
*  Heart  30
*  Balance 40
* Sprint and some quickness in order to lead block

In this post, I will focus on the two main Half Back archetypes for beginners.  If there is enough interest I will write a future post on Superstar Halfback builds.  The two main HB archetypes are Power Back and Elusive Back.  People have tried to build receiving Scat Backs.  I would only suggest a receiving Scat Back build if it was for a Pass Heavy team.

Elusive Back

Important Skills for Elusive Backs

* Conditioning

* Sprinting

* Elusive Running

* Carry Awareness

* Quickness

* Balance 40

*  Carry Grip 30+

* Toughness 40

* Heart 40

Power Back

Important Skills for Power Backs

* Conditioning

* Sprinting

* Power Running

* Carry Awareness

* Balance 40

*  Carry Grip 30+

* Toughness 40

* Heart 40

The first position I will discuss is Quarterback.  In my opinion, there are three main archetypes for the position (Pure Pocket Passer, Pure Rusher, and Combo).   I will post proposed builds for each archetype below.

Pocket Passer
If you are a new player and you want to build a QB that can be successful, I recommend that you start here.

Important skills for Pocket Passer QB 

The first 4 are the big 4.  Most of your SPs should be invested in them.

*Pass Technique

*Pass Accuracy

*Pass Consistency

*Pass Awareness

*Pass Power (I am for 30 and then adjust if I notice my QB floating too many passes)

*Drop Back Grip (I aim for 30 and then adjust if I find myself fumbling a lot)

*Conditioning (I start with 45)

*Heart  40

*Tough 30

* Balance 30

*Leadership  (always good if / when you have extra SP to spend)

Pure Rusher (I have no experience with a Pure Rush QB, as I personally do not think that one would be enjoyable to play.  But if I did, this would be my shot at the AT)

Important skills for Pure Rush QB 

*Sprint 

*Elusive Running

* Quickness

*Footwork

*Carry Grip 30

*Conditioning (I start with 45)

*Heart  40

*Tough 40

* Balance 40

*Leadership  (always good if / when you have extra SP to spend)

Combo (I personally would not build a Combo QB unless it was a Superstar.)

Going Superstar gives you 20% lower Skill Points cost this combos well with Slow Built which makes your SPs cost 5% more BUT gives all skills +10 max points.  The reduction in points and the +10 max helps you get all of the passing and rushing skills you need.  In my experience, this is impossible to accomplish without Superstar.
