i thought power backs got nerfed

good ones made adjustments.

speed is the new power through.

I guess 2nd capping Strength and speed would help...Cuz more speed means higher momentum doesn't it?

Your agility is fine BTW

Some powerbacks still do fine

My powerback does just dandy. Leads the playoffs in TD's and Yards. Was 2nd in TD's in regular season and also in top 10 with yards despite A) Splitting carries, and B) Had about 30 SP's horded for the first 4 games of the season.

Powerbacks make great pass blockers as well for when they're not running.

Is it "fast enough" for elusive...or agile enough. I think that agility is better than speed for a HB. Aceleration and cutback ability. If speed was the most important thing, every HB would be 160lbs and run a 4.2 40 time.

But yes, you need to get your strength and agility to enormous levels. I would put all your equip in agility because that is more important than strength for breaking tackles. Why? Because my elusive HB build breaks 8 tackles per game and has 12 strength. THe CPU takes "Missed tackles" and makes them "Broken tackles" in your stats

With his build mostly agility and vision, and my friends level 10 build mostly agility.(60 agility and high teens everything else) I am convinced agility rules the running back position. but that's for elusive backs, not power backs.

I would concentrate on getting your speed and str double capped.

my power back lead his league in rushing with 60str and 60 speed and 40 agility. He did however fumble like crazy. He has 30 in carrying. 5 in cover up is only signification SA stat. Oh yeah, he also had 42 TD's. That lead the league as well. Oh yeah, one other thing, I would guess the average level in our league is 28ish. He started the season at level 15, out of the D leagues, no slow build and had 55 str coming into the season. Equipment is even on str and speed. Power back can be useful behind a good line with a good FB. In the end, HB's production is based on the surrounding cast.

you also have 18 touchdowns against 3 gutted teams last year in AA, so I don't know.
But if you keep getting speed and str up you should continue to do well, as a power back.

Needs more strength. Same level HB mine has 85 strength with equipment.
