For next season, I'll build another HB. What are folks thoughts about archetypes now?

The days of 90+ Strength backs seems to be over, much better to have a 150 Speed back with 85 Carrying and Strength. Thats for Power and Combo guys.

Is it best to just build an Elusive and go all out for Speed (160+) and get everything else as high as you can? Or do Power/Combo guys still have an important role to play?

If you were starting a team now, what HBs would you want; 2 Elusive, Elusive + Combo, Elusive + Scat or Elusive + Power? (Assume there will be a Blocking and Scat FBs)

With APD, you should be able to get 150 speed, 90 str and 85 carrying without much trouble....not sure though. Hopefully the more experience HB builders respond.


I would suggest downloading Firefox, greasemonkey and then Virtual Player Builder. Use that to find a build that will reach caps you want to hit. Pick an archetype that has majors that will help you reach those caps.

Teams have their choice of positions on an offense now that you only need to be on the roster to get max XP. It really depends on how the OC wants to run the offense and how well versatile they want to be.

The trend now seems to be elusive HB due to their ALGs.

This is my thoughts. An Elusive still gets good ALGs for Strength and Catching and the most for Speed, Agility and Carrying of any archetype.

Perhaps having 2 Elusives on a team is the way to go. One can focus more on Strength and the other on Catching but both have 160 Speed.
