Great post... in an ideal world you would be happy if he had both Passing and OD.

I've opted to create a completely rounded PF with decent OD and I think this can be the key to completely snuffing out the threat of a R&G or Motion attack. (10348451) I do however sacrifice some ID/RB and would be vulnerable if I was attacked inside on the PF position.

Having said this the player in question (841683) can be used to great effect at SF when i want to look inside as he can also protect me fairly well against a more outside focused opponent whilst giving me a big boost to my own inside game.

Bottom line for me is as you say the C position is pretty fixed and i cant see a good reason to have OD on an out and out Centre. Same with ID on a PG. Out of the other 3 positions I enjoy the challenge of creating more versatile players and place a lot more significance to the outcome of games from getting the right tactics/players in the SF and PF positions.

all true all true.

If I have to choose, I'd pick player 2.

But if I can keep both, I'd use them depending on my opponent.

If he plays pressing, go for the passing guy.
If he plays outside attack, go for the defense guy. Actually, always go for the defense guy, unless your opponent is pressing you. ;) (at least, that's what I'd do...)

There is always a third option as well. Look for player 3 who has decent passing AND defense :)
