Strength you guys have seen on a HB? What is yours?
My HB has 81.85 without equipment at level 22. And 99.85 with equipment.

Ive seen 110+ but at high levels they have a lot more EQ.

that much is a waste imo

Why?

Major sacrifice in all other attributes to get it that high, and HB's have quite a few important attributes.

I disagree with your agreement to the disagreement which makes me disagree with the original disagreement too.

Getting one attribute to 80 is no detriment to a HB's overall build, so long as you know what you're doing.

yeah but I know you can be as effective with much less which is why I disagree. I know this because my hb has done so and averages as many broken tackles as many of the super strong backs.

I only have 75 strength and broke 208 tackles last year with my combo back in USA AAA 1

I think well rounded backs are the way to go when building a power or combo back. I am not saying that 80 strength naturally is bad, but then puting all of your equipment on strength is a mistake imo. Think of it like this, speed is always on, strength is not.

Combo backs face different opponents than do power backs. Power backs usually run up the middle and face MLBs (higher strength) SSs (higher strength) DTs and NTs (way higher strength) sometimes DEs (higher strength), and combo backs usually run OT and pitch plays to the outside, facing CBs, FSs, sometimes SSs, DEs, but since all these players have to be able to catch them, usually from the side or behind unless they're lucky, the tackle is much easier to break on top of the fact that they'll have less tackling and strength.

It's reasonable to have 77+ natural strength, 68+ natural carrying and 60+ natural speed/agility for any power back. More isn't crazy to imagine. Saying otherwise is silly. And what else do you need? Vision? Not really, you're running straight into guys.

i am saying equipment should be on speed.

MY combo back was pretty much the power back last season

none of these are amazing but they show that broken tackles can be achieved against anyone on the defense.

to say they cannot run up the middle is not right. most of the broken tackles were up the middle. I am not arguing with you on the placement of sp, I just believe that the equipment should not all be placed on strength.

I think you're assuming there's a "correct way" to build a HB, and that combo is how you do it. I'm not going to debate that, I have a combo back and I like him.
Regardless, for a power back, strength is your primary attribute, if not carrying. Speed is secondary. So whether or not you had success with your combo back doesn't change that power backs build differently.
For a power back, 90+ strength isn't out of the question. For a combo back, it probably is because you have to look at every stat as important.

There are many ways to build a HB in this game, and a lot of them are junk. I think it's very ignorant to think that a HB must have 90+ strength or carry to be a "powerback."
