Brainstorming...

New SAs
good?
Surge - good for inside runners unless their o-line sucks, especially with SYM because defense picks their poison (hit in backfield vs SYM or give up the acceleration bonus)
Scat Back - good for receiving HBs if you couldn't grandfather in the VA
Hurdle - should be decent if you can jump

decent?
Brace for Impact - some use for receiving HBs in traffic
Catch Fake - some use for receiving, faking HBs
Catch in Stride - could be dangerous on fast HBs with limited catching

slightly useful?
Balance - some use for pass blocking or even for FB,QB run plays
Open Field Fake - too restricted, seems terrible even for fake backs, unless it works during routes, in which case it would be somewhat less terrible


Old SAs
good?
Sticky Hands - good for a third down specialist

decent?
Route Run - for power backs with decent hands, possibly more useful than Scat Back, since the benefit is not based off your attributes
Spot Blitz - pretty good for blocking backs

slightly useful?
Pass Block - some use for decent blocking backs
Cut Block - some use for poor blockers
Run Block - only if your team really likes QB and FB runs
Foundation - some use for blocking backs
Shock Block, Pancake - maybe for an exceptionally strong power/blocking back
Absorb Pain - can't see choosing it over others
Diving Catch - can't see choosing it over SB/RR/SH
Jumping Catch - see diving catch
One-Hand Catch - see diving catch

Honestly hurdle looks like it would be great on an elusive back... but the new elusive back archetype gets no ALG's in jumping... which might be a little limiting for hurdle.

TBH their really don't seem to be many if any useful bonus SA's (besides surge) for a non scat back RB. Hopefully someone can correct me and point something out but I'm just not seeing anything worthwhile.

So yeah I pretty much agree with you on this one, Surge, Scat Back, and possibly hurdle on a fake back if they invest a lot into jumping (which might gimp the build).

i i tend to agree with MileHigh, nothing special about any of those really...its possible that open field fake might be decent for outside runners, but hard to say for certain.
