put on elusive. Seriously, you have 9 in QC with 80 speed and 60 agility. Run on elusive. Maybe add some vision to help your cuts later?

I'm asking myself the same question lately. Unfortunately, I haven't played any mediocre talent to take a chance and see if the elusive setting has been fixed, or if I'll still dance around like an idiot behind the line of scrimmage. I'm running on combo for now. Let us know what you decide.

While I'm on here giving comments, I'll solicit some advice on the same question. What do you think for my guy...combo or elusive?

Strength- high 40's
Speed- mid 70's
Agility-low 70's
Carrying- mid 40's
Vision - 40

Elusive SA's- 5,5,5,8,3
Power SA's - 2,2,2,2,2

The change to vision and pathing choice fixed elusive. In fact, this change came 2 seasons ago.

Not based on the experiments I ran. Every time I tried elusive last season, my guy became really indecisive and just danced around in the backfield. I know 40 isn't a really high vision, but it's enough when running on combo to hit the hole and run upfield.

BTW, if you owned my RB, would you run him on elusive or combo?

Lets get some results on backs testing out elusive setting. I have a very high speed/agility HB who I have always run on combo due to the same issues boognish described. I'd be willing to give elusive a try in one of my next 3 games - all are against fair, but not great teams and would probably be good for testing.

That's what I heard but EVERYTIME I tried Elusive instead of combo I danced around in the backfield like I was auditioning for Dancing With The Stars!!

Is it any better this season?? Has Bort played around with it at all??

Well, I ran on elusive today, against a very solid team and did better than I thought I would. I broke fewer tackles than I do when running on combo, but it wasn't bad from a yardage perspective. Here's the game.
