Warrior General Games

Last season, my level 20 Power Back put up good numbers.
1500 yards, 30 td's, 5.7 per carry, and loads of broken tackles. Splitting carries with an elusive back.

THIS year, he has 9 yards total in 2 games, only .3 avg per carry, and NO broken tackles.... the elusive back has 171 yards, 6.1 per carry and a td and 8 broken tackles... my STR is DOUBLE what his is.

Been concentrating all level up points on speed... Has power running been SERIOUSLY nerfed??

As I've been saying since, oh, last season: strength was nerfed around week 12. My theory is that there are more components to the roll for breaking tackles now, something like strength/carry/speed with SA multipliers if they hit. Adjust your equipment to bonus your speed until you get it over 60. I'd really like to see someone test equip on carry on a back with 60 str and capped carrying + 40 speed. I want to see how much of an effect carrying has now.

Do you guys take turns as the starter, or are you always the starter? I've noticed that the backup RB often puts up much better stats, if the two are at equal levels. Maybe it's because they're playing against 2nd stringers?

You're not fast enough. Strength isn't the only thing that determines broken tackles. If you are running very fast directly into someone, you have a good chance of breaking the tackle.

I think your problem is you're pretty strong, but not too strong to the point where the defense can't take you down. Then on top of that, you're not fast or agile enough to get away from defenders, so you just get brought down.

I checked out a couple of replays from this game

A lot of it is the play calling. You're not quick enough for pitches and often get caught in the backfield. Also, your stamina and confidence is kind of low. I noticed you started the game fine, but after you got tackled behind the LOS a couple of times, you never really came back from it. That's definitely a confidence/in game morale issue.

I was always the starter, except for like three games in the second season, and posted my best numbers as starter. NOW, however, (with the exception of this last game which we were against a gutted team) I'm doing very poorly. Even this last game, the elusive back got more yards and touchdowns than I did.
