what are the biggest factors the help in breaking tackles and in what order?

I know strength, carrying, power through, lower teh shoulder and stiff arm help..but I have a HB who has an absolute MONSTER build with very high in all 5 of those attributes and a very strong O-Line breaks 1 tackle for every 3 rushes while I see other HBs breaking a tackle or 2 for every rush...this is AAA level I'm talking about.

speed helps a ton too. its all about momentum - speed times power = force.

edit: in order or importance for a power back, i'd say -

strength
speed
power through
LTS
agility / carrying
confidence / stamina / stiff arm

x factor

everything else

+% Break Tackle EQ
turns shitty players average and mediocre players good. and the good players, well, it's allowed some of them to become household names.

CON

Each broken tackle lowers morale.
Morale is a big factor in the BRK TKL roll.
To break more than one consecutive tackle in a roll I believe you need more confidence to lower the morale hit.
More CON helps to break consecutive tackles

My personal belief based on observable stats and builds... loosely based on forum discussion as well.

This is actually a lot less true than you might think.

i'd love to hear your rebuttal. I find that it works quite well for my PBs.

my old back i retired because i thought i would quit this game. i miss him with a burning passion of 1000 suns.

soo an HB with 100 strength and speed, 70 agility, avg of 10 in LTS, Powerthru and Stiff arm, and 70 carrying can barely break a tackle for every 2 rushes? explain this to me?

You could have crappy VAs. You could have the wrong equipment.

Are we talking about your level 19 HB or your level 4 HB? Because either way, I am pretty impressed at the 100/100 build at those levels.

Any equipment that doesn't have break tackle % is the wrong equipment.

You could have bruiser and be running with tactics at 0. You could not even have bruiser and have something stupid like streaky. Lots of ways to F up VAs.

For a Powerback, the best are bruiser, short yardage monster, and then several choices are about the same, depends on the build.

But anyways, a 100/100 spd/str guy wouldn't be great without brusier, short yardage monster, and % equip. He'd be okay only.
