Fullbacks 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.

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+

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.
