Does it work on non-rushing plays? like on a punt returns or passes? does it only work for HBs?

It works on any type of play where the player is carrying the ball except for pre-pass QBs (only TTS and spin can fire at that point according to bort).

Punt returns, passes (after the catch), kick returns, hell, if your CB intercepts a ball and somehow has power through and strength? He can power through.

You will probably only see it a handful of times throughout your entire career on a TE. Even when you hit level 79 with 90+ carrying/strength, 22.5% Break Tackle, and slippery or bruiser.

It also doesn't seem to fire enough to be worth it for returner builds as well. I have seen it fire... just not nearly as much as spin, juke, ect, ect, ect....

9 Power Thru, watch any of his game logs. Also has 9 spin, Power Through fires more.
You probably just don't have enough strength or carrying.

Can't see his strength... what is it at? And you might be correct although I only tried it once myself. I used the Power HB archetype as a returner (added return specialist on) and built as a Power HB build mostly... but just never "saw" the bubble enough to feel I had a good idea. 2 things did not work... not enough speed to get away from tacklers and, probably, not enough jumping to avoid those damned diving tackles. I'm not saying it never fired... just that I felt it should've fired more than it did. (But I also expect my elusive dots to be better than Barry Sanders too. )

Momentum is power through like lower shoulder. A cut with low AGI will slow it down but a spin or move that does not cause too much loss of speed(downhill) will allow for it to fire. TE and returners tend to MOVE in route alot more than a downhill runner. Hmmm although a route with a line of sight to a point with STR may do better. PT is head on I agree
