Ok, let me hear it. I think I tried to balance this guy out too much so he went from being good to average...base stats are in parenthesis. I'll probably start a new HB soon, and I want to do it right this time...

I have plenty of play with my EQ right now, so I can get him back on the power track, but if I start taking speed off, where should I stop?

no i think he's great,if you got agility to like 70-75 he would be a GREAT balanced HB,and if you take speed to give power,stop around 75

anyway for a balanced back,i give hin a 7and a half/10

if you take speed away to 75 and put all that in str. i would give him a 8/10

Thanks, appreciate it, also I run him at -51, just enough for bruiser so I think moving his strength up will help a lot. Any suggestions for VA's?

No id say you ruined your RB. Balanced backs generally dont succeed. whe nyou start over focus him one way. Train the major attribute (speed or strength) and cap it as soon as you can (while trained to like 95%) than keep putting sp into it until you reach desired cap (usually 3, maybe 4) while training other major attributes than start takign them to desired caps

Balanced backs are awesome, however this build is not all that great.

So, my best course of action (besides retirement) is taking him back towards power? Focus on str and car? That would be best right?

yep. id move all equip into strength

you really only wasted 8 points on the elusive tree. the 4 points in QC and FS , and 2 of the ones in head fake are fine for power backs, since they rely on speed too.

definitely not the best level 56 out there, as you should have strength up near 74 by now, and speed/ agil both at at lease 68. points in vision were wasted for a power back, but with the elusive SAs, they won't be.

at this point, i'd get agility to 68, and put all my eq into speed. you'll be strong enough to have those power SAs fire against weaker players, and you'll be fast enough to get to the edge. work on speed to 74 after that and you can have a few good years at the end of your career.

also, if you're going to go with my route, i'd move his running to -50. and keep it there.
