Warrior General Games

been a while since i put any points into this SA so i'm out of the loop here ... i know that strength/agility & break tackle % helps it fire, but where did it end up with regards to how the running style slider affects the spin SA? what else affects it?

I found my back spun more when I set the slider to SE vs running on 50. Carrying may also affect spin.

i remember hearing something about the more elusive your slider, the better chances of spin working but i was looking for confirmation on if this is true and how much the quality of spin is affected.

It is true.
The more elusive your dot is running the more spin will fire.

This is from the changelog

Apr 1, 2010 (mid day upload 4PM)
- Increase distance QB is allowed to drop back, and allow more movement in general when in pass mode
- Add potential for defender reaction to be delayed briefly when ball carrier makes a large cut
- Improve chance and power of spin skill the more elusive the player is set to on running style slider for non special teams plays

And then the nerf. Also from the changelog

May 25, 2010
- Revert the morale balance between offense and defense that we did last season
- Slightly reduce the chance of revcakes
- Reduce the spin bonus tied into the running slider slightly

Bort has never stated how much the quality of the spin is affected.

One way I read that is that the bonus from slider was toned down across the board, so -100 bonus is reduced no matter how small it was and the +50 or +99 is reduced proportionally as well.
