My Power HB has 15 VP in Bruiser, and I've got 10 or so in Tenacious, but I have seen no improvement whatsoever so I'm going to cut my losses an move on to another VA, but I can't choose between Clutch and Workout Warrior.

Clutch would be useful obviously because you get boosts to stats (probably speed, agility, maybe even breack tackle chance) when you need them, and at lvl 15 you get a 75% chance to get the bonuses on 3rd/4th down and late in the game.

Workout Warrior is also clearly a good choice because more Strength = more broken tackles. one quick question though: WW gives you a bonus on your base Strength right? or does it factor in equipment?

1% bonus/level to the base strength.

Clutch is a p.o.s. if you ask me. Only position I would recommend it for is Punter/Kicker, or Punt Returner.

In your career you will see more runs on 1st and 2nd down than you will on 3rd down. And as for getting better bonuses late in the game, chances are if you are running with a power HB late in the 4th, your team has probably already won the game and is just running out the clock.

My team is a rush first team, we have like 4 rushing yards for every passing yards. Our run game is good enough that we run it on third and long sometimes. 75% increased chance for the seven skill SAs to trigger sounds beastly in that case.

In that case especially its worthwhile to get clutch.

Otherwise if you run on 3rd and short a lot on your team it could be useful. Find out what your team runs, what kind of build you have.... and select your VAs accordingly

It's not like third or fourth down runs with a powerback are very meaningful to your offense, after all

Better off getting Workout Warrior and Bruiser imo. Because you at least know it is going to be there every time, and every down for that matter. And you know its a boost to what you do. No way to see what you get with clutch.

TimeShare Seller: Alright, you get your free prize now. Do you want the boat, or this "Mystery Box?" *holds up a little showbox with stars on it*

Lois: Now Peter, we came here for the boat. Let's just get the boat and leave.

Peter: But a boat's a boat. A mystery Box could be anything............ it could even be a boat! You know we've always wanted one of those.

That's exactly how I feel about Clutch.
