Ok, thanks everyone for the help and developed answers
Even if I 'll certainly never make tournaments in USA (but I hope one day I'll come in USA for holidays and met some of you!), I want to practice the hobby as closed as you 're actually playing it.

lso, since you are isolated from us over here, you could play with minimal tweaking for strength and have your teams on equal footing. This will make it more fun for your friends who don't know how to tweak because they will be able to play with some equality to you. If your team is a lot stronger than your friends, they may become discouraged and not want to play. Something to keep in mind...

that's a wise observation.
But when I play with my brother, with our "demo/generic" teams (with decent speed -diamond bases, running 6secs the 100y/42"- and strenght -I 've got 2 Revells linemen bases to compare), we 're quite frustrated with some athletes, especially blitzers, and runners. Our coverage defense could be better too. I'm not happy with the messy LOS of angled linemen also.
Another point is, even if I don't think I'll become passionate about tweaking, I want to integrate that part of the hobby, because better is the tweaking, better will be the experience on the field IMHO.
Well...a lot of theory for the moment
. I believe I'll order plenty of bases soon, Proline rookies (fast and strong, round and square), and Proline TTC (fast and strong, round and square), and apply the tips you gave me.
In a first time, I believe I'll just use TTC for strenght my line (since I obtain quite good results in strenght tweaking), and learn how to use the dial for control. So the improvement will be not too violent for us.
then, I'll try to use TTC bases for coverage defense (even if on passing play, since I use Buzzball rules, the defender is allowed to angle his free athletes)
Then, I'll try to use the TTC for speed for runners (= achieve good tweaking then learn to control)
then, TTC for strong runners (the most difficult tweaking IMHO)
By the way, you're talking about control : on a rule point of view, when do you turn that dials ? on placing pivot sequence ?
Another question :

TTC's are better for strength and rookies are better for speed.

What about the Proline strong rookie bases ? Could they be good candidate for easy tweaking mixed strenght/speed athletes ?
thank you all
