Your vision is relatively low... I know that HBs have a problem where they pause or stutter before hitting a hole to avoid a defensive threat. It's caused a lot of power backs to keep their players' vision low on purpose.

However, at 26 I'm just not sure that's high enough to cause that kind of hesitation. How frequently does your FB do this? If it's not that frequently it's probably just the luck of the RNG gods rolling for your player's vision. If it happens all of the time... got me. No reason it should be.

On the other hand on both of those plays there was some decent separation between you and the HB and also a lack of any defenders in the immediate vicinity. It may just be a result of inadequate pathing and threat detection AI on the game's part. Noticed how on the play where you picked up the LB you did it right away? That LB was way closer to your FB then the other two plays.

In fact, it may just be a lack of vision that's causing the hesitation.

Yeah, I'm going to work vision up now. I had focused on Str, Blk Agi and Spd too long.

Thanks for the help.

I always thought it was a lack of vision...which is why i am making a vision HB build. I capped vision first. Lets see what it does.

HOWEVER, about the hesitation...thats why FBs need the first step SA. So we can accelerate through the hole once we ^see ^where we want to go.

Our backup FB got almost 700 yards rushing last year and his vision is LOW (I am the starter). He is basically a power Hb with a FB name. But he only has speed in the low 30s...but high agility. So i am not sure what the hell is going on there. I have lots more speed than him, and he is still the better rusher.

He is about 1 to 1 strength and agility, but he has the quick cut and power thru pumped pretty high.
