powerback with 77 str and 68 carrying.. what EQ setup would help break the most tackles? All in strength? Half strength/half carrying?

strength, and maybe some speed too.

i just mean purely for breaking tackles... would it be better to have all strength, all carrying, or a mix

speed (mainly momentum) helps with breaking tackles. i'd go with a mix of strength & speed

And +break tackle percentage AEQ, of course.

so if you had 2 powerbacks, both with 77 str, 68 carrying, 60 speed... the one who puts some EQ into speed will break more tackles than the one who goes purely strength with his EQ?

yes

and both will break more tackles than a guy who puts everything into Carrying?

he'll be more effective with speed. its hell to see a powerback with 110 strength in the pros who can break 5 tackles, but can only get 3 yards of it. you need speed to make your broken tackles most effective. will you break a ton of tackles with only 70 speed and a ton of strength and carrying? sure, but they won't mean as much.

Well carrying does help with breaking tackles my friend has high Strength and Carrying and broke 120 tackles in a season.

120, Try over 250, plus over 3000 yds a season. You definately need speed/agility to be successful. Backs with 100 strength and no speed look like snail's going thru the line of scrimmage. My powerback turned the corner when he went 90+ strength 73+speed/68+agility and 2 5% break tackle AEQ pieces. All VA's into Bruiser and run on -55. Hit the hole hard and fast like a mack truck and smash & dash.

ya gotta be able to outrun them, carrying doesn't do that

carrying helps though...

i'd have to say STR>SPD>CAR>AGI in that order if you want to be successful in the PRO/WL as a PB.

Speed alone helps more then you think to break tackles and gain yardage. you want atleast 95+/95+ STR/SPD when your to that lvl at the minimum imo (with equip)
