Warrior General Games

the rb hesitates or waits for his blockers. been watching my pb and he does this all the time. he sometimes waits for the qb as well.

is it normal is what im asking or is it just lack of spd?

Have not noticed it but have not had a pure power back in a long time either.

Post a few links and you'll probably get some opinions.

your guy looks normal

Well whats his speed/agi?

I have a rb too:

at +10 he dances around in the backfield before even hitting the LOS.
This leads to me think its a build problem.

It's a speed/weight versus vision thing. The slower movement lets you still get a healthy amount of vision checks. Personally I use -51 on this guy: http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=2354017

And tbh, and this is purely imo, at high elusiveness players often become TOO elusive with a lot of wasteful movement. It's that weird dynamic where some of the fast 160+ speed backs would be better off on the power side of the spectrum.

ETA: Likewise GLB path-finding for ballcarriers is pretty mediocre.

my retired elusive bk who played on SE never did things like wait for blockers

im not sure but i remember hearing about a predetermine spd for handoffs could that be the reason y it looks like he slowing down or hesitating or whatever

To see this in action, run the Weak Side Handoff from the I Form with your power back. Its funny to see a powerback hit a wall like happens on that play.

fix ur builds

You didn't notice something, i'm shocked.

he actually slows down for the fb to get in front. im not complaining just not use to it. my retired elusive bk would of just left the fb behind.
