Here's the breakdown of my RW again since some of you guys asked. I use two way players because I want to be balanced on offense and defense. I don't want to be a grinder and just rely on speed.





Key places to put attribute points

Strength - This is probably the most overlooked category. Strength does many things, helps with your shot power, body checking and resistance to body checks. If you look at my wrist and slap shot power, they aren't high at all but this modifies them and makes my shot much more stronger. Mines maxed out with a +5 boost

Endurance - This is really important this year especially since people load up their speed. Gotta make sure that your guy can handle skating for long periods of time without getting tired. Mines maxed out with a +5 boost

Offensive awareness - This gives you the ability to puck up loose pucks on the offensive zone that are just laying there before others, helps a lot especially when there's rebounds. Also assists with the accuracy of your shot. The majority of my goals come off breakaways and slot shots cutting across then roofing it the opposite direction. Mines maxed out with a +5 boost

Defensive awareness - This gives you the ability to puck up loose pucks on the defensive zone that are just laying there before others. I believe it also helps with your poke checking. They say that it also helps you when players are trying to dangle you. I rarely get dangled by guys when I back check. Mines maxed out with a +5 boost

Hope this helps you guys with your builds.

I'm curious what everyone else's builds are and where you put your points. Please share
