I have to laugh at threads like this.
Powerbacks didn't get nerfed.
Linebackers just started pouring points into Strength because powerbacks were so good last season.
It isn't rocket science. It's basically the supply and demand of GLB.
Game 1: WR with 80 speed gets 12 receptions for 300 yards and 7 TDs facing a level 20 CB with 60 speed, 50 agility, and 50 vision.
Game 2: Same WR gets 5 receptions for 38 yards and 0 TDs facing a level 21 CB with 80 speed, 50 agility, and 30 vision.
As soon as game 2 is over and the agent of the WR finds out that his stats weren't amazing, he posts something on the forums along the lines of "Speed WRs got nerfed!!"
Then I laugh.
And here we are.

How would you know?
You only have a Level 2 RB... But you're going to tell people that do have power backs, that do notice a distinct difference in their runner, that they are wrong, and you're right?
That's pretty egotistical.

It's the only thing that makes sense. Bort doesn't just go around changing equations every other day. The changes that he does make, he usually tells us in his State of the Game Address at the end of every season.
Think of it this way...if you were the DC on a team that gave up 200+ yards to a power back, what would you do? Tell your LBs to get their STR up so it doesn't keep happening. Power backs were killing everybody last season. That's a lot of DCs getting angry at their LBs and telling them to get their STR up. I'd be willing to bet that the team(s) that your HB didn't do well against this season got destroyed by a couple of power HBs last season.

Did I say that Power Backs definitely got nerfed? No, I didn't.
But I am involved in the conversation, and I have been following all of this bullshit.
I think its silly for someone to say 100% that it didn't get nerfed - that's what I have an issue with. There is more evidence to suggest that he has gotten nerfed, than to say that it hasn't. So yeah, it bothers me when someone comes in here, that has JUST created their first RB - and jumps on in the conversation, acting like they already know the answer.
EVERY single time something gets nerfed in GLB, there is those same people that will stick up for GLB no matter what.. These people are taking your money, changing the game whenever they feel like it, therefore making our spent money useless, while we continue to buy more and more flex points. We are customers of GLB, yet they act as if they're doing us a fucking favor. Yeah, I take offense to that, and so should you and everyone else in here.
They are scamming us, and couldn't care less about it..
Most of the GLB community noticed that their Power Backs were not as effective, as of Week 12 last season. Is that supposed to just be a coincidence? Are we really supposed to think that all LBs all across GLB boosted at the exact same time?
No one knows for sure, I don't appreciate people that act like they do.
What is your problem, anyway? You have to follow behind me with everything that I write. I'm trying to stick up for all RBs, trying to get definitive answers around here, only to have a fellow RB harassing me, as if we are in a competition.
I'm on your side..You should remember that.

He changes things ALL THE TIME, without telling us..
Seriously, the SIM is changing constantly, but he pretends that its not, so that we don't have a fit.
Its fine to have the opinion that he didn't nerf power backs, but you shouldn't act like you are 100% certain that he didn't..
That's just being a little too shortsighted IMO.

Anyone who doesn't believe that strength was nerfed, at least to a degree, look at my HB's game log from last year and tell me again.
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player_game_log.pl?season=4&player_id=93332
A drop like that simply cannot be correlated with defenders raising their tackling and strength. If defenders improving was the cause then you'd see a more gradual drop in production.
Regarding my player's build at the time: approximately 85 strength, 40 speed, 40 agility, very high power through.

I don't understand why people don't want to believe it..

Agile? I'm a powerback though. I should be breaking a few more tackles than I currently am. My dumbass owners also has me on KOS (not returning) and is keep giving me 2 or 3, sometimes only 1 carry except for one game when I bitched about it but then he just switched me back. Now that I am on the KOS, my stamina gets shot and I get 1 carry a game. Fun.

Well this is how I see it
Breaking tackles isn't all strength. You need agility too so you can make faster cuts keeping your momentum going in the right direction.
Plus agility will help your overall running if you add into it where speed would just make you a stronger, but still unable to change direction effectively.
It's not like a power back only has to run in a straight line, he needs some agility. It could also be the fact that your owner has you playing on ST and it's draining your stamina. Breaking tackles takes a lot of energy and if you're already tired you're even less likely to pull it off. You should still have a lot more stamina though.
