The speed experiment... update

[Agnlaw]

My new WR had his first game today as a level 7 WR with 59 speed and 27.68 Catching (I've not put points to anything else). 2 catches for 55 yards & one beautiful TD (and 2 drops!).

He goes to level 8 before the next game. I'll use the equipment upgrade entirely for speed & the regular level up points will go to catching.

When our O line gets a little better & our QB has more time to let the WR get downfield, this may make for an unstoppable combination.

Funny you mention this... Guess who our Fastest player on LOD is...

Dude has 68 Speed... while it's not a HUGE difference than our 2nd or 3rd fastest player... seem's like if we had a track meet... Clark would win...

Hopefully he can produce similar stats as your WR Project does, without the drops. ;)

By the way... That is freakin sweet what your WR can do.. :gig:

I always wondered about Clark. Too bad his profile is hidden as we with WR's might have figured some of this out a long time ago.

blazing has 62 speed :gig:

Dix is 65.84, Holland is 63.23. :gig:

Holland's ready to go deep! 63.23 speed and +6 on first step! Also, jumping is at 36.44 with +3 to the jump catch ability.

I believe I have KG's speed at 60 or 61 now (can't see from work). Agility will help with route running on your experimental WR too...when you get to 60+ speed you may want to put a few points on AGI.

I work towards balancing him down the road. The nature of the experiment is to see how focusing on speed and catching alone will work towards creating a bombs-only receiver (which is why he has 59 speed at only level 7). So, on purpose, he's going to be very imbalanced for quite a long time.

My WR on LOD (Holland) is an attempt to create a classic balanced receiver -- I don't think he reached 59 speed until around level 15.

Looking at this play again, it was an interception waiting to happen. If the QB can consistently wait a second more (or the WR can get a little faster on take-off), we'll have an unstoppable deep threat.

My DE was upgraded to a speed of 50. We will see how he does.
