Yes, there is a level difference, and next season I might move him to a different team with equal-levelled competition. However, I think a lot of it might remain the same. CBs will still have low strength, and I'll still have higher strength than LBs and higher speed/agility then the DL. I'd expect production to take a hit but still remain a decent 5 ypc or so. I *might* even retire this fellow soon and do the same build fresh, as there are some things I'd like to change. If I do, I'll likely keep his build open and make a thread about it.

Like I said, I'm not trying to brag about production or anything, I'm just trying to contribute to the community.

I've decided to slowbuild a HB to create a verrry similar build. I'm pretty excited.

vision 44

first game of the season against a team we lost to in pre-season. This is not a cupcake team despite the score.

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=216302&pbp_id=1372619 (can also break one)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=216302&pbp_id=1375184 (probably the best replay)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=216302&pbp_id=1375634 ( benefit of being a combo back... you have strength)

http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=216302&pbp_id=1375865 (can dance but can also dive for the goaline... I got it next play)

It looks like you're also benefiting from a great OL and FB.

The line is good but the FB is mine so I can take credit for that

Honestly staggart, I'm going to say the same I said to the OP. You're a "combo" back, and I'd assume you have points in Stiff Arm and Power Through. You seem to be stiff-arming a lot, with PT going off when that fails. I think what we're learning in this thread is that Stiff Arm works VERY WELL when both strength and agility are over 50.

I move that "combo" backs (high strength/agility with even SA spreads) just be called "Good" backs.

I have a back that I am slow building as well. I'm curious, what would you consider the best order to recreate this build?

I'm probably going to softcap speed, agility, and strength in that order...just not sure where to go from there.

I just softcapped agility...I'll likely go to speed next and then strength. The final goal is to have agility at about 80, speed at about 70, strength at about 60 and quite a few of the agility SAs but run on power.

You currently have a 5ypc in 5 games this season, and each one of them you outleveled the DLiners by 4-5 levels. You have some nice replays and im sure the build is nice, but I am not that impressed to be honest.

Well, X Ubuntu's build isn't quite what it should be. I'm doing a new one now that's fine-tuned. X's build came as a result of an accident so there's a lot of SPs in places they shouldn't be and some deficiencies in other places(speed, for example).

My point in this thread isn't to brag about "how great my RB is"...it's to contribute. I think this type of build has a lot of promise and X is sort of opening that door. K Ubuntu(the new one) will be a much better test in a couple seasons. Right now he's level 5 and slowbuilding so it'll be a while, though.
