Question~~ Yeah...its just one of those things where I see elusive halfbacks shred the field ANYWHERE they are at. powerbacks in general have the disadvantage that near anyone can catch them, that to have the whole break tackle bonus disappear at 8 yards seems unfair. Not all are slow, but it seems that having some bonus after 8 yards would be prudent since elusive HB's have a 30% bonus the whole field. Im not recommending that PB's have a 45% the whole field...but something past 8 yards would level the natural disadvantage that they have in general to HB's using slippery. The bonus' from the slider to spin, like QF, that stack on a guy who uses slippery has no equal comparison in the PB world.
Answer~~ i've seen suggestions to make the power side of the slider give a bonus to power through. I'm not completely opposed to that idea, since it's sorta odd to have a bonus for one side but not the other, but boy would it be a balancing act.
