Hey guys/gals,

First off, here is my build (its open):
http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=412356

Originally I was building Skip as a speed/agi based back and he preformed fairly well. I wanted to convert him to a power back or balanced build I suppose. Right now his speed/agi/str are all around the same base (54 roughly w/o equipment). I have been moving equipment over to str and once I shift my last peice he will have about 72 str w/ equipment.

What is the best route for me to go? I understand some points will are wasted in the elusive tree. What power SA's should I concentrate on? Lower shoulder? Also, I understand speed is important to take to the 61 softcap, should I get my str up that high as well?

Any help would be fantastic.

i'd get speed and agility up to 61 and move eq to str, and try to get points in power thru. i don't have a RB myself though.

At this point you're too combo/elusive to be an effective power back. You're going to want to make use of those elusive SA's, or else retire the player. Let's make you a combo beast.

Put two or three more points in Lower shoulder, one or two in stiff arm.

Get speed/strength/agility into a 13/15/11 ratio with equipment. (65/75/55)

Run on Combo. Ask to be a kick returner. Maybe one day you'll hope to be as smooth as Larry Brown!

Training? Strength/Jumping (or Carrying). Or Agility/Vision.

Yeah, level 32 is too late to change your build focus. Continue with combo. Increase speed would be my first goal with your build. My power HB has more strength/speed than your combo back. No point wasting all those points you used in elusive.

You'll never be a real powerback, but you can make a decent combo back.

Combo backs need a good O-line more than any other style of back.
