No self-booting!
Shutup and just give us your infoz!
Oh, I thought blue said it was all available in the scheme section, so I didn't bother. I think he may be right. I'll check right now.
It tells you based on what you set your preference to what attributes are most important. It doesn't really tell you what they do, but it still makes it so you know whats more important on a position by position basis.

Lol. Asshole. That said. No I can't play tonight as it is past my bedtime. Tomorrow evening should work though.
LOL just messing with you. Can you go around 5 PST tomorrow? I only have a small window on Thursdays after work.

You know it's true
Ok, so we'll go over what the attributes mean.
SPD - What you have the need for.
ACC - Acceleration - how fast you can get from a stopped to full speed.
STR - Strength
AGI - How fast your player can make sudden directional changes without sacrificing too much speed
AWR - Awareness - how fast your player can react to situations. Not used for player controlled characters.
ELU - Elusiveness - your player's ability to shed tackles. [Counter to TAK]
BCV - Ball carrier vision - your player's ability to see the open field, holes, and blocks. Not really used since we control players with the ball.
CAR - Carry - your player's ability to hold on to the ball. [Counter to POW]
JKM - Juke move - your player's ability to perform a juke move successfully.
SPM - Spin move- your player's ability to perform a successful spin move.
SFA - Stiff arm - your player's ability to perform a successful spin move.
TRK - Trucking - your player's ability to bowl over defenders [Counter to TAK]
CTH- Catching - player's base ability to catch the ball. How good their hands are.
CIT - Catch in traffic - player's ability to catch the ball in traffic. Players with high CIT hold on to the ball when getting hit.[Counter to POW]
SPC - Spectacular catch - player's ability to perform circus catches. These include stretching out for the ball, jump balls, and end zone catches. Sideline catches are now their own trait. [Counter to Ball Hawk]
RTE - Route running - player's ability to run routes. [Counter to MCV/ZCV]
RLS - Release - player's ability to shed/beat jamming at the line of scrimmage. [Counter to PRS]
JMP - Jumping
THP - Throw power - How far/hard a player can throw the ball.
SAC - Short accuracy - How accurate a player's short throws are.
MAC - Mid accuracy - how accurate a player's medium throws are.
DAC - Deep accuracy - how accurate a player's deep throws are.
RUN - Throw on the run - how accurate a player can throw while running.
PBK - Pass blocking - how well a player can defend against pass rush. [Counter to FMV]
RBK - Run blocking - how well a player can run block. [Counter to PMV]
IBL - Impact blocking - how well a player can block in space. Think of it as a counter to LBs and second level blocking.
TAK - Tackling - how sure of a tackler your player is.
POW - Hit power - how hard your player hits. Can cause fumbles and may take players out. Is aided by Big Hitter trait.
BSH - Block shed - your player's ability to shed blocks. This allows your player to get off blocks to make a play. Useful against the run.
FMV - Finesse move - basically the line's spin move to get around OL.
PMV - Power move - line's power move to get around the OL.
PUR - Pursuit - player's ability to chase down the ball carrier. This allows a player to get to the ball carrier and take good angles.
MCV - Man coverage rating
ZCV - Zone coverage
PRS - Press - how well a player can jam a receiver at the line.
PRC - Play recognition - player's ability to recognize the play. The higher that players have their PRC rating, the more likely they are to recognize whether it's a run, pass, or play action. For defensive ends, it allows them to recognize screens.
KPW - Kick power
KAC - Kick accuracy
RET - Return ability - the player's ability to field punts and kicks without fumbling.
STA - Stamina - how fast a player gets tired. The higher, the less often they need a breather.
TGH - Toughness - Beats the shit out of me. I think it's just the ability to take hits and combines with INJ. I don't know or care!
INJ - Injury rating [Counter to POW]
Scheme explains which are important, but I'll go into which are important to me either today or tomorrow.
Wellie informs me that BCV is useful for FBs. I haven't paid attention to it, so he might be right.

I purchased swim move, but I'm not sure it has effect. Maybe it's for players who use the DL? I remember in previous madden games some players had one or the other for use at the line, but usually not both.
GG levious. I couldn't help but laugh at how dumb that interception-safety was, thankfully it didn't come back to bite me too badly. Maybe it was karma for using ballhawk.
You were getting ridiculous pressure early on. I'm not sure if I just adjusted to it or your players stopped being as effective, but Eli was getting crushed. I wouldn't describe it as a successful day passing, but at least I didn't throw any interceptions for once.
Running continues to be an exercise in frustration, aside from a couple of clutch runs late in the game. It feels like I'm getting stopped by my offensive line as frequently as I am by the defense. Even my successful runs don't feel nearly as good as in Madden 12.

I'm not sure how a spin move factors into finesse. I can upgrade Jpep with a Spin Move, but it costs 10K and I don't know if it is worth it!
Also, I agree rushing is tough and I wouldn't be surprised if run blocking is someone broken right now. There are too many times my own oline dudes get in the way of Forte on a run and I can't go anywhere.

So how important are Physical, Intangible, Size, Production, and Durability? Are there any others I'm missing?
that's why I immediately sent you a message, that safety crap has been in the game since 10, this is the first time I've been on the receiving end.
I had that one deep pass overturned, rightfully, and then just kept trying to do it again, felt like I was stagnant in what I was doing on offense. Still have trouble with stopping draws.
McCoy doesnt seem to be having a problem. You just have a trash line.
That's a trait. That's different. Upgrade his FMV if you don't use him manually. I purchased swim and I regret it.
Those are the new stats. They seem to mean jack all. Maybe intangible has something to it, but size and physical don't make any gatdang sense. Production is more useful when drafting.
Yes, tight spiral, and sideline catch have to do with doing it consistently. Spin move is a manual trait best I can figure.
I'd consider shying away from punters and kickers in the first round.
You're probably safe holding off until the second. Or trade for another first round pick. Or I will trade you the best punter in the league, Tim Masthay, for Percy Harvin.
Most people here draft best available, but I like to go with need. Don't be fooled by the draft board's projected draft pick number this year. There are busts lurking!
I usually go OL or DL.
What about Fullback? DCX set precedent for those going in the second round, right?
I can't believe you'd trade this guy. I figured you'd keep him, just you know, because
Not even my love of the whites can overcome my hatred for John Kuhn
Send him to oak town. I can send you a wide selection of fast scrubs.

Hello friend, I have many draft picks for trade.
I have standards eznark, I only accept bills. No change.
I have to see how Owusu works now that Harvin is out for a few weeks. Then WE'LL SEE
I'm pretty sure Toughness has something to do with how likely your player will be to come back out and be able to play following an injury. Might effect how likely he is to get re-injured.
Yeah, I think it's more of a re-injure thing. They should rename it DOE. For putting da team on yo back. Thanks for the answer.
forgot the mac one!
