This team. https://fumbbl.com/p/team?team_id=893080

Ive scored my first pestigor with a double for being ball carrier. I am not sure whether i should go for dodge first and then hope for MA or i should just take MA and evovle from there.

I'd take Ma personally. They are both good picks though.

But how will you get to Ma8 pestigor if you dont take +ma to get to 7

Move 7 is a great thing to have, so I would go with that.

I would go +ma, but it depends on how you play.

If you regularly cage your ball carrier, dodge may be better. As the carrier can only move as fast as their cage and needs every chance to not fall with the ball. Dodge too also allows him to escape marks better. Dodge works better if it's a tourney or short life for the team.

If however you shield/screen your carrier instead of a full tight cage, +ma makes sense. Long term development +ma is the way to go.

Dodge is great too! Blodge ball carriers are fantastic. Also since you can take mutations, two heads down the line will make him elf like.

Rolling a double is more likely than rolling +MA, hence +MA is more valuable, especially for MA 6 ball carrier.
Also, Movement will be used more often than Dodge.

That last statement in debatable, because Dodge can work both as an active and passive skill (as in it also helps when being blocked).

+MA for sure. Makes 2ttd much more doable, Will save many GFI roles. Also it will save your ass on defence many many times.

Yes but how many times are you going to be blocked/dodge compared to the squares you move in a game? Nurgle is a slow team and benefits a lot from extra MA on ball carriers.
Moreover at mid/high TV Tackle is common (especially with new ruleset) and it cancels Dodge.
Anyway, I'm not saying Dodge is a bad skill, but in this specific case I think +MA is better.

Nurgle usually play at such high TV that dodge is mostly wasted due to there being plenty of tackle present. I'd go +MA.
