I'd assume more carrying, but how often do you fumble?

IMHO, powerbacks don't need much more than 30ish vision. Really all they want to do is hit the hole and run down hill.

I'm just starting a a change-up power FB... but I'd like to know this more than anything.

Wouldn't agility be more important than speed in that you need to accelerate off broken tackles to not get held-up too much?

Edit: helps if I don't type as a Microsoft clone... excel instead of accelerate...

Right now, agility doesn't effect acceleration like it's supposed to. However, Bort did say agility helps you break tackles.

They're both important. Agility to affect acceleration (even if it's not working as intended yet), break a few more tackles, and be able to turn and hit holes. Speed to get down field and past the D-Line, and so you can build momentum to help you crush LBs/Safety's in the secondary

I would get carrying to 30+

Even with that STR the LBs are going to finagle that ball away from you. My own 22 HBs have around that and have some problems fumbling lately. Since carrying is also used in break tackles, it makes sense to get that higher on power guys. For you I's say put your next ten SP into carrying and not have to worry about it for a while. You'd be a solid power back at 24 and your four equipment SP could go into whatever main att you are putting equip into (STR?).

Build is good overall. He could use a bit more strength and higher Power Through but I'm guessing his productivity is due to a mediocre line. If he has to make his own yards he's not going to break as many tackles in the secondary. Nice work though.

You don't need high vision for a power back you want to bust through the hole. You need more carrying.

Stamina seems high for your level given the stamina adjustments. how much stamina does he leave the game with?

I'd say train confidence up to 25, carrying up to 30 (in that order) and focus your points on agility and the power SA tree. Put the LV. 24 equipment bonus in strength.

Based on my builds, I've seen that once you go past 60-63 str, you start seeing diminishing returns.

IMO, a better build than 71 str, 46 speed would be 65 str, 50 speed and 28-30 carrying. I also agree to take some points out of stamina (if possible) and go down to 35ish. Then, pump up carrying to 3, speed to 50 and get Power Thru to 5-6 ASAP.

I think you'd be performing much better if you had more agility. I think your speed is fine for a powerback, but definitely needs much more agility. I suggest carrying and stamina according to how you perform, and once you get agility up, pump up points in power through to really use that strength to its full potential.

How many broken tackles do you get a game

A better question would be how many broken tackles do you get per carry.
