Any noticeable help from it? My FB has a ADV EQ with +3 Lead Block built up and if it's not to helpful I'll juts sell it at the beginning of next season to get my BT.

It is helpful.

unfortunately I had it fairly high early on so I never got to see the impact it made.

Trust me I use D-Line as blocking sleds with it on my RG.

My team's FB who has it has been very effective in run blocking.

Very... I have 8 in lead blocking and I see my FB doing this others dream about... Such as picking up defenders who are unblocked in the secondary only if our team is handling their defense. Some good reads are below and my vision is around 38

Not to rain on your parade, but out of any kind of I-formation the F.B's main job is to block the Linebacker. if he doesn't do that it's considered a failure. your Fullback is only doing what he is programmed to do. Nothing real spectacular there.

The fullback who leads my own halfback is much more impressive with only 3 in lead block. he blocks the Linebacker and as I pass that he moves on to the safeties and corner backs. most times knocking out the corner back or F.S. and catching the S.S> from behind.

Meh his replays look pretty good to me.

if your saying your fb would have been able to block two people in any of those replays than you are playing in a cupcake league. on average when the fullback makes contact with his block the hb gets tackled about 1 second after. The problem is that many peoples fbs are not doing their job...

Staggart - just curious what do recommend a FB's speed to not get outrun by his own HB?

depending on your level i would say -10 to -20 of what your hbs base speed is. So if your hb speed is base 70 than you need at least 50 be better off with 60

I think it stems from most people building their fbs for their 3-5 runs a game, but not its 50+ blocks per game. When I took over the offense for my team I told our FB to build 100% towards blocking and our run game has been helped tremendously as well as us being sacked only twice in the past 20 games. Too many FBs are probably obsessed with stats instead of winning.

im sure he is a good blocker based on these runs ... but according to the SA wording, the SA only gives a bonus to blocking not to vision ... (I know we would all expect it to help vision given that it is "Lead Block", but vision is not mentioned in the wording)

im still not missing too many blocks or screwing up plays
