Warrior General Games

Hey all, I have an back that has been completely unproductive. In past seasons, i had thought this was due to relatively low Carrying (it was single capped) keeping his substantial Juke investment from firing. He's got +30% fake success chance from the Quick Feet VA and relatively high agility (86) so I don't see any reason why he wouldn't be making defenders blink if it were actually firing. He's been running on 90% elusive tactics.

This season, I increased his Carrying to the second cap, expecting to finally see him do something - instead, he's been worse than ever!

Here's his build (natural scores only, equip is in Spd/Agi):

thats w/o EQ. With EQ he is probably about 100 speed.

Also I have heard vision is helpful when you get it very high (like 70) or you can run less elusively like +51.

It looks like your team has been overmatched in its 3 games so far this season, so it's going to be hard to put up good numbers when you're losing by 70. Even with a perfect build, it would be tough to perform very well in that situation. But there are a couple of things you could do that I think would improve your HB:

I'm guessing if your Agility is at 86 with equipment, your speed is probably around 90. If that's the case, if you have the option, I'd redo one piece of agility equipment and move it in to speed, giving you something closer to 97 speed / 79 agility. Also, your condfidence is low. I would get that up to at least the first cap, as I think your in game morale is probably taking a big hit from being down by that much and getting tackled for a loss a lot and that would offset it a bit. Eventually you'll probably want to train catching up some too (to at least the 35-40 range), as you dropped almost 20% of the passes thrown your way last season.
