I believe its because his carrying is not at 5o, but still, 0 broken tackles at his level? Breaking tackles was pretty much what made him a good back, now he is below average. Should I just bring carrying to 50 first or invest in sregth?

Should have gotten your carrying up to 50 and saved your VP for Bruiser imo.

No joke. He's not much of a powerback, really more of a balanced back at this point. What are you doing putting VP into Tenacious before Bruiser?

You need strength, speed, and carrying to 68, Power Through to 10, and Bruiser to 15. Train your vision, confidence, and stamina.

Believe it or not, strength has very little effect for powerbacks, at least from my finding. While my HB, is not a "pure" powerback, I've converted him from a balanced elusive back into more of a balanced power back type this season, and the following changes have brought him 16 broken tackles in the first two games (non-gutted teams, close contests), where as he broke about 32 tackles the whole last season.
1. I pumped agility from 63-70
2. Carrying from 50 to 60

My strength is only 60, so it's hardly even high. I strongly believe that these 2 things, are what contributed so much to breaking tackles. That and bruiser + red zone freak

only 75 strength and am averaging about 13 broken tackles a game... all the while losing. Vas are the difference

This season I put 15 in Short yardage monster, 15 bruiser, and 7 tenacious and moved power bar to 50 and my broken tackles have sky rocketed. i had 85 total last season and so far I already have 38. Get your bruiser up and you should see increase

bruiser + SYM = S8* again

Do not waste your VAs in tenacious. This is not a good VA for power backs since most linemen and linebackers are decent tacklers now and are not set to wrap-up.
