My running back is struggling pretty bad this season. What do I need to do to make him more prdouctive and more of a threat when he touches the ball?

my presumption would be Strength. I mean, it's not even 1st capped yet. You are getting tackled by the wind!

Terrible advice, the guy is an Elusive back.

My guess is that they probably aren't using you right, because with a build like that, you should really be doing some damage.

What do you have your Running Style Slider set to?

99 Elusive. I have tried everything from 50 elusive to 100.

19 fumbles, 12 lost this season already? Might consider affecting your ball security with some improved carrying/cover up.

Yep, go ahead and do this.

But also maybe look for a new team (no offense), because you really should be tearing it up.

Yeah I am open to offers, I get less than 10 touches a game. We are a passing offense but I should still get some balls out of the backfield even.

Thanks for the advice all.

BTW I would consider moving around some of my equipment but it cost me an arm and a leg to get it in the first place.

That is a pretty good build...maybe get confidence up a bit as well as catching to about 40 so you can be used more in the passing game.

But the best advice would be to go to a team that knows how to use your great build. My HB is a similar build and you have 5 levels on him. Mine is also the backup HB on my team that leads the league in passing but mine still has better stats. In the right situation, your HB would be an MVP candidate.

Is it all in speed? I like it there...but thats me.

It isn't a great build.
Typical over-emphasis of speed.

Carry is way too low - at least to 60.
I would also get strength to 50 so you can break a little more tackles.

Your RB has a career average of 4.9 YPC.

You have a lvl 56 RB, playing in Single A, that hasn't done anything remotely special his entire career.

But for some reason, you think you can tell this guy that he has too much Speed? That's hilarious.

Maybe you should have worried less about Carrying, and more about Speed. Then maybe your career average wouldn't be less than 5 YPC, but that's just a thought.

So tell us, what is it that your RB is so good at?

He doesn't break hardly any tackles, yet his Rushing Bar is only @ 60, which is incredibly low for your level. So he's not very fast or agile, and he doesn't break very many tackles.

Sounds to me like he's pretty mediocre, all across the board. Congrats.
