Anyone with experience with either?

"Fight out extra yardage" seems a bit ambiguous to me. I'm assuming it doesn't mean broken tackles just a sweet spot etc.

SYM seems interesting, but I'm wondering how useful it is. Do you find you're getting contact behind the LOS rather than past it?

Any advice based on your experience with either would be greatly appreciated.

I prefer SYM. I've been TFL 8 times in my past ~300 rushing attempts, it probably would have been 2-3 times that number without it.

People have been shifting from wrap up to balanced at the higher levels. It's still out there though, just not as predominant as previously. As far as my understanding of tenacious, it is nice if you get a lot of carries (kind of like D4Y). At level 15, you should be gaining an extra yard or two every 3rd carry against wrap up tackling (so it's like an extra 175 yards a season if you're the main running back). That's under ideal circumstances though.

Pretty much the difference between the two is one is slow and steady, while the other can be more game-changing with less of an overall effect. My FB doesn't get a ton of carries, so SYM is more to my liking.

Thx Warlock.

SYM for sure. I had max tenacious last season. I have used all my reset points on it this season, many will go into SYM. If that tells you anything.
