I think it was quite often the o-line that was the issue, but in the two scrimmage games this season on a new team he still has an average line and can't get it done. He's a speed back.

Currently:
Strength: 29.58
Speed: 73.83
Agility: 59.53
Jumping: 16.83
Stamina: 39.77
Vision: 31.19
Confidence: 25.01
Catching: 23.49
Carrying: 36.1
SA: 3-3-4-5-2 and 2-2-0-0-0

I'm considering changing his equipment completely. Some ideas I've had...

Change it all to strength. This would give him:
Strength: 51.58
Speed: 56.83
Agility: 54.53

Other alternative, change it all to agility. Would juke like a madman, but might not be effective at all:
Strength: 29.58
Speed: 56.83
Agility: 76.53

Or leave the custom as speed, and the rest agility:
Strength: 29.58
Speed: 62.83
Agility: 70.53

I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts/opinions! I know I've made a few mistakes on his build that can't be fixed, but that's what you get when you make your player and ignore the forums for a season.

The first thing you need to do is very important.... 1. Move him to the Naturals. Then we'll discuss it from there.

I'll shoot you a PM.

I'd say vision and agility. Yes I know you said speed back, but with the new changes you have to have agility to accelerate to your top speed (not to mention it makes SAs like Juke work).

Looks pretty good. Personally I wouldn't attempt to change him to a power back, I don't think you have put enough SPs in power to do that. You might want to try and get your speed and agility closer together. You may be right that it is your oline.

Carrying. It now helps break/elude tackles. Not to mention it will cure the fumbles.

pump up your abilities and/or bring up strength. It'll help get more broken tackles

LOL. No kidding. I think you have a pretty good looking build right now. Personally, I'd work on your strength and your confidence at this point.

Thanks for the input everyone, I've changed some of my equipment to give him a bit more agility, I'll see how that goes in tonights game!

I would be entirely open to trading him to another team for a level 23+ RB, as I don't like having my own skill player on my team. I feel selfish every time he carries the ball.

This is what I've gone with for the next game. Obviously not the SAs yet, but we'll see how high agility goes. Playing an average team with a few studs next so we'll see how it goes.
