Here is my built:
Strength: 67.94
Blocking: 21.57
Speed: 80.43
Tackling: 9
Agility: 57.52
Throwing: 16.15
Jumping: 16.15
Catching: 21.27
Stamina: 33.28
Carrying: 39.4
Vision: 40.26
Kicking: 7
Confidence: 23.48
Punting: 7

A couple of seasons ago he was a superb RB with yards over and over. But now he don't break much tackles, drops passes he alomost catched in the past.
I just raised catching a little bit and it seems to help.
Should I raise agility, speed or just more power?
Any other suggestions?

try softcapping carrying (even second softcap), it helps breaking tackles
little more strenght can help too

I would agree with more strength but hardcapping carrying? I would maybe softcap eventually but for now leave it.

You're running up against the problem most full powerbacks are starting to come to realize:

Teams wanted us to be faster (because we're more effective) and we had to sacrifice precious SP on speed. Now they still want us to be just as strong, but LBs and DTs didn't have to change focus when using SPs. Essentially, we got faster, they got stronger. Now most powerbacks are not as effective as previous because 65-75 strength doesn't cut it.

In summary, you've got the stats of a very effective combo back. Run on combo.

Larry knows what he is talking about... You are a combo back, not a power back.

I agree you are a combo back.

The only problem I see with him is, he's not a power back.

You need more confidence. At your level, defenses are starting to put more SP into the morale effecting SA's.

SA's? How many HB's are you splitting time with?

Why are you complaining? 7.8 YPC is pretty damn good.

He wants to break tackles more. But Kayoh is correct. 2 first downs every three times you touch the ball is really freaking good.
