I still need my level 32 upgrades which will go mostly to speed and I'll be leveling up next game. Looking for some advice on what to work on next.

Very interesting build.. This is actually the kind of build that I really wanted to build, but got discouraged from having lack of performance with Elusive SAs.

Have you had more success with Head Fake or Juke?

Have you noticed Head Fake not being as effective as it was before?

Have you noticed Vision having an effect on your Elusive SAs?

Sorry for all the questions, but I've been waiting to see someone with a build like this, so I could figure some things out..

That seems like a lot of strength for a elusive.
Anyways, I would go carrying and maybe vision.

More agility would be nice.

Wow.. So an elusive back can't have decent strength?

That's a new one.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but Strength has become more and more valuable, as more defenders work on Speed/Agility/Vision instead of Strength/Tackling..

You misunderstand.
I was merely commenting how he has a lot more strength for a elusive back than I normally see.

I think having strength soft capped for a elusive back is a great idea. Most CB's you face only have mid 20's strength. So if you run a lot to the outsides you should get quite a few broken tackles on the CB's. Plus it helps not fumble getting hit by strong LB's and safeties.

I'm planning to put another point in speed when I level up that will take me to the 3:1 cap naturally. I've been training catching and carrying this season and plan to drop more points in carrying as the season goes on. What are your thoughts on vision for an elusive type back? I've been debating on whether or not to drop some more points in it or not. Anybody have any experience with high vision for running backs?

I don' agree. I'd only take strength as high as you can train it, after vision and carrying are at an acceptible level.

The point of an elusive back is to break tackles by being elusive, not using power. Plus, I won't kid myself, but the only players 40 str will help with will be weak defensive backs. Any SP's applied to str would be better off applied to elusive abilities. IMO

As far as the OP's player, I'd continue putting points into speed and then agility.
