I was wondering if any REAL powerbacks would care to share their experiences with us.

What's a real powerback?

Someone with high Power SAs.

IMO a HB with high strength,speed,agility,carrying, etc and low SAs is just a combo back.

Most of the time I see the term speed back being used for a low SA elusive back. Other times I see the term agility back.

Let's hear from a power back rather than a strength back.

Strength is key so you can't have a powerback without it but my back in no way is a combo back. He lowers his shoulders and runs straight ahead

I would completely agree.

I'm just frustrated to hear people with 60 str back with 3-3-3-3-1 (including custom) in the power tree talking about their power backs.

I've pretty much the same build except 10 levels lower and 12 speed less a little less stamina and nearly zero SAs

My HB's closer to remaxjon's than anyone else's that I've seen, but has some key differences.

Then you aren't a powerback. You are strength back.

He does pretty well for the most part. Probably could use more stamina, speed, and agility but what are you going to do.

This is my build approach for season four.
By priority spend points

max strength - all equipment in strength
agility should always be higher than speed I won't tell you how much though that's my secret
speed
carrying

training by priority to about 20
vision
confidence
catching
jumping

SA's should be power back 1-1-2-2-0 then buy the special equip for it

I guess this would be his best game this season against a "decent" team. http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=95594 press cntrl F and search Moose in play by play.

I play backup HB on a pass happy team but average almost 8 yards per carry and break long runs.

Stamina is based on depth chart recommendations.

People tend to use other terms for backs high in agility.

What makes you think that strength should be any different?

If you want me to call them powerbacks, they need to have serious investment in power back SAs.

Where are the people with 10 in lower shoulder?

The fact that strength makes you powerful. ~End of story~

... No

If you want to call them powerbacks, they have to be powerful. Strength = Power.

Seriously, how can you not know this??
