what if I'm not looking for big runs, but rather average 3 to 6 yards and maybe have a few runs in there in the 10+ range... Not making a dot that breaks away for 30, 40, 60 yards runs. So, could one get away with say 120 speed with EQ and use the extra SP in strength, agility and carry?

And the reason I ask is I'm going to be OCing a team that will be using a powerback alot. If there is a good logical reason for taking Carrying high first then I'll be able to change my opinion about it and see which direction the agent making the powerback wants to go.

1) Steady Grip gives a bigger increase than workout warrior;
2) Carrying helps break tackles, hold on to the ball, make fakes, make cuts;
3) 2) again.

I've actually got 115 carrying on this dot right now with a piece of BEQ into carrying and with steady grip. Everyone who says 140 speed is a requirement never had a dot with 110 speed and 91 strength and 115 carrying. The goal has been to make use of every break tackle SA and to not be so fast that he gets in front of his blockers. I think he has been very successful, especially with hurdle.

Wow, that's a thing of beauty

No but I do have one with 145 speed(w/eq) 100 carry(natural) 94 STr(natural) and 88 agility . http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=4257157 He breaks tackles and often when he gets to open field he is not caught from behind, and when/if he is it's 40+ yards downfield. http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=2353906&pbp_id=6389436 Lives on PT and Juke http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=2353906&pbp_id=6384608

#2 on TimeTrial's list is why I value Carry more than STR.

Do you have Hurdle and Surge or just Hurdle? And if you don't care to tell, how much jumping will you have at end build?

Promise you, you dont. Keep in mind though I am including Steady Grip. So guess carrying would be more like 93/94. I wouldnt use workout warrior on a powerback though. So strength would be natural 100.

I believe I said I didn't like the results



My point was you wouldn't know what the results would be since you didn't finish the build.

Waste of a roster spot imo, and a waste of flex also imo

imo imo

No surge. Surge isn't a break tackle SA so I'm not using it on this one. Jumping is at 63 and will finish at 64 or 65. You don't need more than 60 to break diving tackles on a power back.

having some success with more carrying than strength

Thanks for the info. Will go the Hurdle route too, just swapped Surge for Hurdle and will end at 65 Jumping. Will also get 100 Str, 100 Carrying and 140 Speed (all EQ here) but now I'm thinking of 130 Speed and use those points to leave Carrying at 110.
