Dual Threat Running/Catching HB
Key Physical Attributes: Agility, Catching, Vision, Speed, Jumping
Other Important Physical Attributes: Confidence, Carrying, Strength, Blocking
Special Abilitites:
Other Advice: This type of player is tough to build well and takes a very specialized game plan to utilize his skills effectively. You are essentially building a HB who can catch passes out of the backfield but who can also play as a slot WR. Speed and Agility will be the key both to running well as an elusive back and to getting open as a WR. The attributes most critical to catching the ball are Catching, Jumping, Vision, and Confidence so a healthy amount of these are crucial to ensure you HB can make tough catches with consistency. Due to the changes in the sim, Carrying now affects your ability to break tackles in addition to helping you secure the ball and preventing fumbles. Confidence will also keep you from fumbling repeatedly if you fumble once, and will keep you from being dramatically affected by special abilities (like Aura of Intimidation) which lower your morale and make you run much worse than normal. Right now lower Vision is OK for a HB while rushing (not catching a pass), but it will likely be much more beneficial in season 5 and afterward once Bort makes a few changes. Blocking in this case refers to both pass blocking when a HB, although there is a play where the HB run blocks for the FB in the Pro set, and also run blocking when split out wide. Vision will also help your HB pick up blitzes in pass blocking. If your team doesn’t pass that much blocking may not be as much of a priority.
Ideal Backup Position: #3/4 WR
Example of a Good Build: Example Needed!!!
I am going to try, but will probably retire them
