Hey I wondered if a high carrying ability could be useful in any way? The description says it can help breaking tackles and all that stuff, and I wondered how much?

I mean if at 36 carrying I'm ok to fumble only ONCE in a season, the 64 other points left to put in it are kinda useless. But I'm sure Bort had an idea on this, so I think i'll try to softcap carrying soon to see if there's a difference.

Just to say, I have 70+ strenght, and our other back has in the 30's. We have almost the same speed/agility, and I obviously run on power, however he still manages to break more tackles by game than I do. The only thing he has more, is carrying.

Anyone with a high carrying ability has seen a difference?

I'm honestly not sure about carrying and strength or even confidence at this point. The sim seems to randomly decided when you are going to fumble, and unless you have confidence in the 40s or higher it will usually make you fumble several times at once. My HB in our playoff game today fumbled 3 times in 6 touches. It can be absolutely ridiculous.

Carrying ot only helps you hold on to the ball, but it helps you break tackles, as you said. You would need a lot of Carrying to only fumble once in a whole season. My HB has roughly 44 Carrying, 75 Strength, and 4 in the Cover Up SA, and I still had about 10 fumbles during the season.

In my opinion, you should softcap Carrying, maybe keep training it if all your other crucial abilities are also softcapped.

I have like 20 carrying and have fumbled once in two seasons.

it all depends on strength, stamina, confidence, carrying... I also think you are more vulnerable to fumbles catching the ball... It seems my hbs are more likely to fumble the ball after they catch it than when running.

I've noticed that once you get carrying 40+ that it gives a small boost to breaking tackles.
