Any thoughts on this SA? I don't see it mentioned very often, yet looking at two power backs on another team who are the same level and split time 50/50, it seems to have a significant impact. One of them is better in seemingly every important category for a power back (Strength, speed, agility, vision, Power Through as well as the elusive SAs), yet the seemingly weaker one averages .5 ypc more, as well as having 30% fewer TFLs and has broken 50% more tackles.

The difference? 1 in Dive for yardage for the seemingly "better" back, and 4 for the other one.

Any thoughts on this? Is it a coincidence? I'd say it's not completely a coincidence, since both have the same settings, the same O-line, the same amount of rushes this season, but I'll also concede that with such a small sample size (180-ish rushes each for just two players) you can't draw too many conclusions.

So yeah, feel free to discuss this SA. Partly why I'm asking is that in one of the coming levels I'll be looking to improve my rushing on my FB, and two options there would be either to increase Power Thru from 2 to 4, or to go from 0 to 2 in dive 4 yds.

flames seems to think that it helps out a bit since his power back has 5 in Dive 4 Yards.

Flames' hb has 4-5 in every SA.


I'm sure it does have an effect.. As it should.. It is a SA after all........

Hmm, I've neglected this SA because I've found my Power Back sometimes does it anyways. There have been a few occasions where he is clearly met 2-3 yards before the TD line but he gets the TD anyways...

Of course, I feel like this is probably a product of strength. I would guess Dive 4 Yds is strength independent? Thats the only way it would be worth it to me to be honest.

hi, does jumping affect this skill?

That's what I've heard.

haha a dive for yards build

jumping 100, dfy 11

As you say in the OP, it's my opinion that Dive For Yards is a very effective SA.

I have to agree that this is a very effective SA. I have an "elusive" back with O in this SA but almost the same strength as our "power" back and he has 4 in this SA and he almost always averages more yards per carry and breaks WAY more tackles than my guy.

yeah I'm looking forward to the next season just so I can make the DFY build.

woot Im gonna go 100 jumping and 11 DFY now... that'd be. AWESOME...

on their own one yard line, oh and it looks like the back will be tackled in their endzone for a saftey, wait he dives forwa... ... ... ho-ly shit... ... touchdown?

dive for 100 yards >.< ftw!
