I just read up on HB SAs...it got me thinking.

What if 1 team had the following 3 HBs:
-80 STR/50 AGI/50 SPD/10 Stiff Arm
-80 AGI/70 SPD/20 STR/10 Head Fake
-100 SPD/50 AGI/20 STR

Think about it. If the opposing LBers had high AGI/VIS, the Speedster and Stiff Armer would destroy them. If they had high AGI/SPD, the Stiff Armer and Head Faker would destroy them. If they had high AGI/STR, they Head Faker and Speedster would destroy them.

The only possible way to counter all 3 backs would be to softcap SPD/AGI/VIS/STR, in which case the Speedster would still run circles around you.

Any thoughts?

An HB wouldn't be able to reach those builds until the high level 20s at the very least and by that time LBs will have high SPD/AGI/VIS/STR. You're also not considering the LBs SAs that make it much easier to tackle HBs.

i am about to get this on my team with my main hb

balanced half back- demarcus tribble
Elusive half back- levi davis
Power back full back- greg worilds

I didn't say anything about Elusive/Power/Balanced. I'm talking about the SAs.

You would start out with the Head Faker. If the defense shuts him down, then they've obviously got high AGI/VIS, so you bring in the Stiff Armer. If the D shuts him down, then they've got high STR, too, and if a defender has high STR, AGI, and VIS, there's no way they have enough SPD to keep up with a 100 Speed back.

i love how every HB forgets about his main foot ball skill Carrying...

look at this guy...he put points into carrying..

The team I GM for the Moose, has an exact combo of power, speed/agl and combo. They all have very similar numbers.

He's in the D-Leagues, come back when he's in a proper league. Also, despite all those broken tackles he still only has like a 5.4 ypc average.

me and this other back are in a lvl 16 capped league and we're doing pretty well as a thunder and lightning combination.

It will be hard to split playing time with 3 HBs. Its better to have a speed HB, Balanced HB, then a power rushing FB (someone who hasn't wasted points into blocking). Then give the FBs 20% fo the carries per game (30% if the run percentage is less than 50%). That gives the FBs about 5-8 carries a piece and the HBs 9-12 carries a piece.

I hated the power back nerf. I had a goof FB, now he is just a blocker until I can get my stength to 80.

As the game is set up today the only smart team build is to have 3 mirroe image RB's that you can gameplan with. Otherwise you are going to have missmatches in your lineup and there is nothing you can do about it.

3 HB's? 2 HB's is all you need.
My team has 1 Power Back and 1 Elusive Back. Any running play can work with a good back despite his running style. If you are getting TFL its because of your blocking and/or the other teams defense. What makes a great RB is the ability to get by the last guy or two and break a long gainer.

2 HBs is plenty. I don't see why you would want 3. My lv 22 RB shares time and he is having a great season, but I couldn't imagine sharing the rock with a 3rd HB. That is overkill.

2 HBs work fine, but if you really wanted to invest I suppose you could. My HB is an Elusive, and I'm paired with a power back and we run over everybody.
