Scouting Positions

[NCAAFBall00]

When your scouting for NCAA14 ive read that ppl look for certian things and just wondering what those thigns are

OL - OV and ACC
WR - height, speed, accel, release, route running, and catch traffic
CB - Height, speed, acc and man coverage

what about

QB
HB
TE
DE
DT
FS
SS

That all depends on what kind of offensive and defensive system you run in the game.

depends on what you like in a position.

For QB, I tend to recruit scramblers, but not super fast guys. A speedster QB makes the game too easy. I look for guys just sub 5.0 40 yard dash. Maybe a 70-75 overall speed, 80 tops. Just enough speed to scramble, but not wreak havoc. I'd much rather have a passer. Especially when you modify sliders, accuracy starts to matter much more.

Everything else, I am pretty much looking for overall. I run a balanced attack, so a balanced tendency is good for me. I want a balanced running back. Speedsters don't break tackles enough, power guys can't break away because they're too slow. There's always exceptions, but I prefer a guy closer to 90 speed and some strength.

Here's some of the things I key on when scouting. Bear in mind that I'm mostly landing 3* talent.

For QB, like SilverBullet mentioned, I try to stay away from scramblers because it's so easy to tuck and run and move the sticks. I usually target balanced QB's.

RB: Carry rating, speed and ACC, in that order. I subtract about 35 carry from my HB's, so they need to start out as high as possible.

WR: catching first, then at least 84 or so speed, and route running is nice.

DE's: I need at least low 70's speed for pursuit.

MLB's I go for Play Recognition first. Even if I find one that is really great at something like tackling or speed, I usually pass if he's not decent all-around with good play recognition.

CB's: mainly focus on speed and man coverage.

OL: ACC is a huge factor here.

Safety's: I usually look at play recognition and zone coverage first.

OLB's I go scout speed and pursuit

DT's I look for block shedding and moves.
