My FB is a rushing bruiser typ of FB and I am wondering which is the better SA for a FB in order to gain more yards.

I have found 2 different pieces of Ad. Equip
1) Lower the shoulder
2) Stiff Arm + 1 jumping

The description of Lower the shoulder seems to fit more but Stiff Arm comes later in the power back line of an HB. So I am uncertain a bit.

Lower shoulder is a STRENGTH only SA, and I have read in forums it doesn't slow you down quite as much.

Stiff Arm requires passing an Agility test along with a Strength test.

whadya mean have to pass a str test and an agility test? it says it works against defenders with low strength and agility ... are you saying this means the player using it also needs high values for strength & agility?

in order to pull the move off, you need high agility. which is why agility helps break tackles for a powerback. Speed is not as important as str/agi/carrying for a FB who will be rushing.

I would go with the Stiff arm personally. People thing it works better against open field defenders than power thru.

Power thru: In or around the LOS
Stiff arm: Better against defenders running laterally at you once you have cleared the LOS. ALSO< i have seen from replays, that it works against players who are chasing you down. It might be a glitch (bort uses a radius for the stiff arm around the WHOLE player, not where only his arms can reach) and have no idea if it would be fixed. for next season.

Thanks for the replys

My FB has:
93 strength
69 speed
63 agility
45 carry
46 confidence

10 Powerthrough, break takle 19% and Bruiser capped

Sounds like to I should add more agi and carrying.

Still not certain if lower shoulder or stiff arm is the better move for me.

Take carrying to 50 if you plan to reset VAs or you won't be able to get Bruiser again.
