ya im tryin a power back for the first time...I got str to 74 might go to 77 then stop not sure yet, and carry to 60 prob stop there. agil and speed r very poor right now tho. Should I go for more of a agil/speed or speed/ agil type build. Which one would be better for PB?

It depends if you want to go all out powerback or PB/speed hybird (this is a little more popular these days).

Basically 130str and 80 speed.... or....100 str and 100 speed.

There is room for arguement here, but I prefer the higher speed and my opinion is that your tackle breaking comes a lot from your VA and SA choices more so that pure str/carrying.

One of the best powerbacks I've ever seen had 90str/90carrying. However, this was many seasons ago and the sim has changed 3 billion times since then

I'm sure you forgot about one LOL

My guy is LvL 44 ATM, playing in a weak AA league so difficult to tell if he's gonna be good! I went with...

STR to 73 (Train CAR, AGI)
CAR to 69 (Train AGI, SPD)
SPD to 73 (Train AGI, VIS)

He's now at 80/73/73 could be more if I was smarter with training over, converting BT's etc.

Working AGI to 73 now,
CON to 61
Training VIS and 1st cap.
Training STA and 1st cap.

That should be done around LvL 56, then start hitting SA's if I'm happy with him.

Edit: Oh, and that leaves me jumping to train.

depends on when your wanting him to be effective and if your going to try and keep him and get to a pro league team or not.

to the OP it sounds like you want him to be effective starting earlier rather than later.
but if you want him to be decent at all in the later lvls your going to have to sacrifice performance in the earlier lvls.

my lvl 38 power HB is just this season starting to look somewhat decent, but stil needs buku work.

but seeing as has a shot at being MVP this season here's what I did/am doingl

str to 77 first, then worked on speed to 68, then agility to 48 then carrying to 60, which if I did it over would have stayed with speed longer first. anyways,, have agility up to almost 60, and am going to keep working on speed to 80+ before going back to carrying or vision.
split 2 sets of EQ with str and speed but right now I'm adding about 14 in str and 15 in speed .
2 pieces of AEQ with break tackle %,one of which is not fully upgraded or equipped yet, and both can be enhanced with a +3 to speed. also 1 piece of AEQ with power thru SA. surge as his bonus SA, with only 2 points in it right now, and I added hurdle as another bonus SA. only 1 point in it. training jumping. sta,conf and vision are around 34.

VA's= bruiser is maxed for his lvl, a few points in steady grip and a few in tenacious.
