Could you quantify the importance of physical skills compared to others? I mean, is strength more important than another skill? For example, for a DL, is strength just as important as tackling?
I've been in the game for a short time, and currently I'm only trying to sign if they already have strength or speed above 48. If not, I won't sign them. Could I settle for players with less physical skills? Could a good DL have, for example, 45 strength? Or is it not even worth it? Sorry about my English... |

In OL & DL case for strength, for all other positions in speed. But I like my RBs, TEs & LBs to have 45+ in strength, my DLs 47+ in speed. Of course you can get DL with 45 strength but I believe he will be less productive while playing 50 str OL. |

It takes a long time to build a roster with good quality players. So, when you’re starting out, you can improve your team with players who are less than top quality, for example 45 STR DL. That’s like Everest base camp. From there, you can get better players step by step.

It's a difficult question to answer how important it is.
I think it depends on many things. For example, it's no use having someone with 50 strength as an OL who has an Int of 20 and a TW of 20. (Just as an example.) I'd rather have someone who has 40 Int and 50 TW, but only 47 in strength. There are also traits that are helpful and may compensate for the lack of strength. For a DL, I don't think a DE necessarily needs strength, and I'm currently testing this out. One DE on my team doesn't even have 44 strength, but he has 50 speed and he has twice as many tackles for losses on my team as the second best in this statistic, and he also has the most tackles in my DL. But he also has a useful trait. This is just my opinion on the subject, and I know other users think I'm crazy for taking this stance.  |

Obviously it's the more the better in every skill is helpful.
And every longterm manager has their own rules for SPE and STR as minimum requirement on specific positions. But if your question is, whether say SPE 48 or SPE 49 are THE limit for some position, I think the answer is neither. First, as I understood the presentation of the skill value is 50 as max and 1 as min in the database, but in calculation, it starts at 75% already. That means for calculation the skill values are 151 (for 1) to 200 (for 50) (even it might be done differently, but to show the real difference in numbers). So to get back to the example, 48 and 49 are not that far apart. Second, as I understood, the whole engine does calculate actions and that involves the physicals and all other skills, of the player, sometimes the teammates and of course of the opposing player or players. Means, sure you need to find some sort of rule set to make up your roster, but don't be too fixed on physicals. |

I know i don't have to be too fixed on physicals, but they are the easiest to focus on at the beginning. Precisely because in the physical ones I am already finding the limits, and in the others I am very far from finding these limits and then they don't worry me. For now, as long as I can find them, I will try to sign young players where one of the two physiques is close to 50, and for the draft I also try to do that. I also don't try to sign too many players. Thanks to everydoby. All the opinions have been very helpful |
