Here is my level 23 power back. Last year he was pretty good splitting carries and getting decent yardage and touchdowns. This year he sucked, and I took all equipment off of STR and put it to SPD and AGI.... STR/SPD/AGI are all soft capped at least. Carrying is at 38 and I'm soft capping that next. Why is it that last season the elusive back and I both had about equal games, a lot of times my back was better. THIS season, he gets his as HANDED to him by defenses and gets a TON of "tackle for losses" where the elusive back gets hardly any.

thoughts????

not to be rude but you excel at nothing. You need to consolidate your equipment to Strength and 2nd cap agility.

i had ALL my equipment on STR before and he sucked royally this season. So I switched my equipment to Speed and Agi so that he could compete with the elusive backs and it started to work a little. having only 48 speed and 50 agility with like 68 strength apparently sucks and doesn't work at all

but you are in limbo now. if anything you should run on combo. You are neither strong enough for power or fast enough for elusive

Is it "fast enough" for elusive...or agile enough. I think that agility is better than speed for a HB. Aceleration and cutback ability. If speed was the most important thing, every HB would be 160lbs and run a 4.2 40 time.

But yes, you need to get your strength and agility to enormous levels. I would put all your equip in agility because that is more important than strength for breaking tackles. Why? Because my elusive HB build breaks 8 tackles per game and has 12 strength. THe CPU takes "Missed tackles" and makes them "Broken tackles" in your stats

Yes, you are currently a "balanced" back with way too many SAs for your abilities...some custom gear would help a lot tbh.

Too weak, too slow, not good enough blockers. Your dude is also returning kicks so he is probably winded half the game.

speed and agility is gud.
needs more strongness.

tbh- we have a similar build, but i haz way more Sa's and i haz way more to show for it.

Umm...you have 4 levels on his player AND you have custom equipment. I don't think it is the SAs necessarily.

If this was my player I'd get his strength to the 2nd soft cap in strength immediately, then soft cap carrying. No more SAs until you've done at least this much. I'd probably cap speed at the 2nd cap before SAs too.

RBs are all about the line now, mediocre backs have great seasons behind quality lines and solid backs or even good ones suck behind crappy line builds.

Your agility is fine. Just needs more strength/speed.
