7 rushes for -2 yards and 1 BrTkl ???
He has 85 strength, well you can check if you like, his build's open.~
The competition weren't that great, the other HB ran pretty well.
Any help?
he was set to 100% power and exact route.

you played a good team who stacked the box and broke your o-lines blocks. that many TFLs are not an indication on how the RB did but how the O-Line did.

Normally I would agree, but another HB on his team averaged over 7ypc, still 4.5 if you take away his long TD run. I think it's a build issue, 54 speed and 34 agility is far below acceptable, so that performance isn't really surprising.

i dont know. would more agility affect these plays? they look like his RB didn't have a chance

edit: not to mention the formations aren't that great. running off tackle to the left across the formation without a full back in the shotgun isn't the best idea for a slow power back.

Here's another question: how well did he utilize his strength on those plays? Would additional speed and/or agility have helped him more in those spots?

well, if he was as fast as an elusive back, he would have gotten around the immediate line pressure, which might be why the other back did well in the game.

if he had more agility and the same speed, then he might have had a chance to get to the outside on one or two. its hard to break tackles in the backfield when your not even up to speed yet.

So build wise should I take Speed higher or soft cap agility?

put more points into POWER THRU and get carrying up to softcap. Speed is fine.

Wish I were still in the Africa A leagues lol. Looks like an easy place to run, what with all the gutted teams.

Soft cap agility. It helps.

Your speed and agility are pretty low. Also if it helps, I'd say get some confidence not sure if it helps break tackles but train it occasionally. Definitely softcap speed and agility first like the others say. I believe vision doesn't help powerback's but I'd still train it occasionally just incase Bort decides to do anything.

Improving carrying has been said to improve breaking tackle success as I hear but I'm not so sure myself.

Looks like he crapped his pants. Are you running with the slider bar all the way on power?
