In my original post, I left out that my back has 80 Strength and 60 Agility. I think -90 will be my first experiment, and may move it to -85 after the first preseason game.

Im going with +75 for now
I will see how that goes during pre-season and adjust accordingly.
It will be interesting to see how much of a difference there is between say +50 and +75.
I do like the idea of the slider though it adds more control.

I'm going with a +50 - got a few VPs into slippery, so wanted to make sure that it'll be able to work.
50 strength
75 speed
63 agility

what does the slider control? does it actually give a bonus to running power/elusive or does it just control whether a HB will try to run straight or around defenders? Always been my understading that it was the latter.

yes, the latter is correct.

it controls how often he "looks" for defenders around him. power means not very often, and elusive means alot.

I believe that some of the veteran abilities stated that you would need to rush on elusive or power in order to activate them. So I'm going with 1.

I saw in another forum that it had something to do with ticks. On elusive, the halfback would determine if there was a defender near him from 7 ticks away, on combo 5 ticks, and on power 3 ticks. Which prompted me to go out and get a flea and tick collar for my halfback...

haha yea. i saw that too. but with the slider, its not as clear-cut as it used to be. plus, i never saw the bort quote to confirm those "ticks". but the general idea makes sense, looking at replays.

I've got a decent amount of Speed/Agility on my Power HB (64/51, and a few points into Quick Cut/First Step that I would honestly remove if I could), so I've got him set at -85 right now, I'll fiddle with it during the season and see what happens.

Will do +60 with both my back. Will adjust during the season.

Bruiser - Few can match this player’s power. Each level of Bruiser gives a +3% bonus to breaking tackles when using at least 50% Power running style.


Slippery - This player slips out of tackles with ease. Each level of Slippery gives a +2% bonus to breaking tackles when using at least 50% Elusive running style.

i instantly thought running on "combo" would let you use both

No, running on combo (0 or balanced) would not use either of these VAs.

I'll probably go with +30 on my elusive. Combo's been great, but hopefully I get avoid some more tackles.
