I'm trying to decide whether I should try and change out my HB's AEQ in an attempt to make him not quite so useless this season. I'm already working on getting his agility to 68, and his speed is already there. He just can't seem to get to the outside and break anything. He always seems to just not quite make it or get swallowed up by 3 or 4 defenders.
With EQ, he's currently at
Strength: 61.72
Speed: 95.81
Agility: 68.81
Jump: 18.19
Vision: 56.36
Confidence: 50.3
Catch: 33.25
Carrying: 57.54

Speed Tree- 3-3-3-7-2
VAs: Slippery-14, SYM-13

I've been running him at +75 Elusive, as well. What I'm trying to decide is if switching out a +7 Agility, +4 Juke with a +7 Speed, +4 Spin would actually be the best decision, right now, while I work on getting Agility up through SPs and after that, work on SAs or if there's something else I can do to make those outside runs, pitches, etc. actually start working. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Edit: Also just rolled a +3 Vision, +3% Fake Chance and +1 Vision, +1 Head Fake... so, not sure if either of those would fit into the equation of helping.

HOLY COW I'd love the 3 vision/ 3% fake for my HB, especially this season. That with HF SA (I suspect you already have good Juke) and Quick Feet VA would kill, imo. I wonder if your speed and agility are high enough for your level of competition? Vets, double check my math.

Your AGI is a touch low, I assume your primary focus right now is elusive. If that's the case the speed swap eq would hurt more than it would help.

A rough quarter of your run plays are TFLs. Your line is getting dominated, mix up the passes better and slip in some runs to the weakside to spread things out. Get quick cut and head fake up, but not before getting AGI atleast into the mid 70s to low 80s imo. Then crank the elusive bar up. Didn't really look at your FB, what's his speed? Is he doing anything on the field?

I'll probably pick up the 3 Vision, 3% Fake and start working that up, then. And yeah... we're pretty outlevelled in the league we got promoted to, so my line's been having a lot of trouble run blocking. As far as my FB is concerned... he's got about 81 Strength, 68 Speed, 61 Agility, 62 Blocking, 51 Vision. He seems to do alright with lead blocking... has to block the Defensive end, a lot, though... past that, he can usually block the first linebacker or safety coming in, but can't really get more than one, when they're all swarming.
