Well as a FB who gets some decent results, I think vision and agility are under-rated for a power running build. I typically run at -51 setting, that extra lateral movement is quite important, especially since it's extremely difficult to break a bunch of tackles in a row (or at once).

The way that I think vision works in-game is... you make a check every couple ticks (every tick for super elusive running style), if you pass the check, your player takes the best available path... there could also be multiple paths and the better you beat the roll by, the better the choice of path. Thus a low vision player might run right at a group of defenders, while a high vision player might take such a good angle that only 1 defender in that same group has a chance to really tackle him.

All that being said, balancing your build is pretty important... you need enough strength and carrying to consistently break tackles, you need enough speed and agility to take advantage of said broken tackles, you need enough stamina and confidence to play at full capacity, plus you need enough vision and agility to avoid taking poor paths... It's hard enough spreading the points around without sacrificing too much, so the question becomes, what are you willing to give up and what will it do for you? I.E. by taking low vision, what will those SP/training go to instead and will it be more of a benefit than having decent vision?
