I'm starting at -100 for my Combo back (he's combo but leans HEAVILY to Power) and will work my way back until I find the sweet spot for him. I have a feeling there will be no universal "best" setting for Power or Elusive, it's going to depend on your individual stats.

4.6ypc against a higher level team in his scrimmage at -100. Not bad but I'm used to better, he usually gets around 5.0ypc against good teams. There were a few situations where he could've avoided a tackle easily if he'd gone with a more elusive move.

I dropped it back to -50 for the second scrimmage, we'll see what happens.

Tried my guy at 60. 33/80/67, had 5.3 ypc. Not bad, didn't seem to cause him to juke/spin around in the backfield. Going to try 100 this next scrimmage game and see how it works.

These plays concern me running with the 100. Granted my Vision is only 38, but on 60 he would still go for those holes. Don't know if other people have run into the same thing yet.

I'll try it on 50 next time and see how it works out.

your player is called "zendine" zidane? are you kidding me?

One of my SA's is "Head Butt" ?

zendine is just an ugly nickname, you do know he is called Zinedine Zidane don't you?

Yes

I had similar problems on some running plays today with 100 power. HB starts making cuts and shit before he even has the ball. Then when he has it, he starts running one way, then just stops and changes direction for no reason.

For the scrim games I had it on +25 for my elusive back. Worked so-so against a team that really out matched us and pretty well against a team we really out matched. But after looking at all the replays he tended to just run at the line instead of heading for any holes. So for our first game I'm trying it set as +50 and see how that works and what paths he picks.

Still finding Elusive Running SUCKS!!

Dancing around way way too much!!

Switched back to Combo 0%

This was on 50. Best play for my elusive back I have seen in a while. Some other plays on 50...

I'm liking 50 to 60ish so far. Especially since I am a "speed" elusive back. We'll see how it progresses as the season continues.

So here's the important parts of my build--I've converted the endnumbers to reflect the bonuses provided by VPs:

Strength: 89
Agility: 68
Speed: 57

PowerThru: +8
Quick Cut: +3

Bruiser: +8

I've currently set the slider to -95 with regard to running style--would any of you recommend a different setting?

Elusive Back on 50 -

Those were to show that he will move around, but still hit the whole, but with great blocking:

Haven't seen a problem with elusive running yet. Not as great as some of the Power Backs, but still not a problem.

With the setting on 50 elusive have you seen better results with exact running style or the creative running style?

huh? Route running has 0% to do with running the ball.
