Yeah, he needs more carry...and Steady Grip VA should probably be a priority over SYM at your level.

I'm not a big fan of 100+ strength RB's with no speed. In capped and AA he'll put up good numbers in general, but once you hit the higher leagues he will break tackles but not get anywhere.

If he was my RB I'd move around some EQ and get him faster..but he's not mine.

He'll like a solid 7/10 RB for AA. He'll move the ball a little and not turn it over. If you ever want him to dominate in AAA or play pro/wl you are going to make speed more of a priority though.

Not at all disagreeing with what you said, as I've never been lucky enough to play WL, and thus don't know how it goes. But just the idea that 80 speed on a POWERBACK isn't good enough shows that SOMETHING isn't right.

Or that defenses are quick enough to swarm to the ball and bring you down quickly.

I appreciate the advice, bought an extra set of EQ and put it all to speed, and all future EQ points will go to speed, we'll see how it goes

stamina & vision

If a defense is fast enough to get to a slower power back, then I would hope that the power back would be powerful enough to bulldoze through most, if not all, of them. I mean.. yeah, the secondary and OLBs should probably have speed upwards of 80... but an 80 speed just keeps pace with that PB. You'd need a good amount higher than 80 to catch up in time to stop a big gain. So now you're talking 90+ speed, and really... if anyone other than secondary has 90+ speed, their supporting attributes should be so low that once they get there they are just a speed bump.

but then I guess even Communism is good in theory :-P
