a really similar build to my own there. I'd started him as a pure speed back but since made him more balanced. Personally... I'd put your vision up a fair bit, i've found that having heaps of speed doesn't help too much when the oline isn't amazing and not giving downfield blocks, but increasing the vision helps him see the hole when the line eventually creates one . Just curious, have you had any problems with fumbles? I had to pump up carrying massively from the level you at cus i got hammered with fumbles last year!

ive only fumbled once this year and another time last year...but so ur saying i shouldnt become a speed back then? if not should i go raise stregth also? or if i go to speed back, at my lvl for a speed back, is 30 strength high for a speed back then?

Make sure you're running on Combo and not Elusive. I couldn't figure out why my back was terrible for the first 2 seasons. Then I read a post about the disadvantages to running with the Elusive style - you become way to hesitant and don't hit the holes right away. Since switching to Combo (3 games ago) I've been averaging 5+ yards a carry and 3 TD's. I'm only lv 18, and my build is fairly similar to yours except I only have 20 str and 68 speed. You might also want to try sticking some points into head juke, it might make it easier for you to get around defenders.
