Is everybody elses RBs just blowing up? Mine are putting up ungodly numbers, elusive and power. Is the new AI just more suited for RBs?

The o-line change imo. Equal matched o-lines are blowing up d-lines.

And now tackling is reduced, it's better for a powerback.

I've only had one scrimmage, but my guy got worked by the defense. I had a 5.4 ypc avg last season, and had a 2.4 ypc average in that scrimmage. Hopefully it was just because we played a tough team.

It may help if you post the game or player link.
Also knowing if you're more a power back or elusive back may help, as well as knowing wich tactic you used.
Of course sharing the build is even better

Well, that's D league so not really reliable


As usual, don't want to shut down your performance or whatever, don't get me wwrong, those are huge stats any of us would like to see on their HB. It's just that to consider them it's better when the game are player again even oppostion (or if you're doing well, against stronger team).

Still it seems like power back finally got tuned up and that they'll do better this year.
Plus wrap up tackle as been lowered to a more realisitc level (ie 20 tackling CB will miss more even on wrap up when they try to tackle a HB)

Oh no that was the question, if it was due to weaker competition or if HBs are really doing better in the game.

So does that mean if you have 20 carries in a game, you have 100 broken tackles?

interesting.

The funny thing is, the change somehow crippled our o-line completely. Our backs might dominate if the d-line wasn't in our backfield a second after the snap.

Actually FB's seem to be breaking out of just blocking duties now.
