Move all your non-custom equip to speed, cap agility, then cap speed. Your current build is the equivalent of Vanilla Ice releasing a new album.

I do feel that I need to at least get speed up to the first soft cap ASAP and is what I will probably put my next 8 points into. However this is a POWERback, I will not be moving all of my strength EQ into speed and turning him into a balanced back. That suggestion is more retarded than that new Vanilla Ice album would be. Not to mention my strength is at the 2nd cap and each EQ point into strength gives me much more of a bonus than it would in speed.

Hahaha. . . dude you are so far behind and you don't even know it. Enjoy your TFL's. You'd think that maybe, just maybe you'd look at my RB's, see what they've done, and consider the advice that I was so kind to offer.

I actually looked at your back before I posted. You have a good back however the advice you were offering me would turn me into a balanced back not a powerback.
That's fine except you are apparently one of those people who needs to throw in an offhand comment in your statements so that you can talk down to people. So I could really care less if you think you were being 'so kind' or not.
My HB does need some more speed for sure and my next 8 points will be going there and I will look to agility also before I pump more SA's. Thanks for the advice.

Well, you're going down the old road of what a powerback was pre-week 12 of last season. The adjustments to tackle breaking forced most of us who had builds similar to what yours it now (hence the Vanilla Ice comment) to adjust. Most people's current definition of a powerback is what's being called a "downhill runner." So what you're calling "balanced" isn't actually balanced. Think more along the lines of 75 strength, 75 speed, and 50 agility. This allows the HB to escape would-be tacklers who can now easily snare even the strongest runners. The key is having enough speed and agility to hit the holes at full force and match up with DB's. You can do what you want, he's your player, I'd just stress that you not neglect agility. While I feel that speed is more important, 30 agility is dangerously low. Advising you to move your equipment is an immediate temporary fix to a major hole in your build until you can fix it.
Don't get too caught up in building your player how you want him to work, build him how he will work.

This post actually helped me a lot with the decisions I need to make. I understand what you are saying now. Thanks for the help I will be building it up this way with a boost at the start of next season to shore up some of the stats quicker.

Glad I could help. Keep me updated on your progress, I've helped a few other guys and I love watching people succeed. I apologize if I came off as combative earlier in the thread, it wasn't my intention.
