How does jumping affect HB play? Would vertical jump help avoid diving tackles? How often would diving ever come into play?

not that anyone can show you. i would just double up on NO.

I was thinking maybe it might work like Hurdle did in GLB1.

dont have hurdle in glb2

I would never put jumping or diving on a HB.

Haha, well that's all I needed to know. Have you tried it and been disappointed, or are you speculating?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the least considering making it even a secondary skill, but toward the end of a build, I was wondering if dumping a 10-12 points into it might have even a small benefit over, say, every defender who hasn't bothered to touch diving. Part of me wouldn't put it past the developers since Hurdle was a short-lived fad in GLB1 a few years ago.

What good could it do? The only thing it might do is give you a further jump if jumping into the end zone, but how many times in a HBs career is that going to happen?

Unless he is a pass catcher, and then those skills could come in handy.

Jumping into the end-zone.. or diving for a first down. Or playing a part in the fight-for-yards roll which, all else equal, would mean an addition to YPC almost every carry if past the critical mass to matter.

Of course, this is just speculation based on 45+ seasons of playing GLB1, where it was the most expensive SA in the power rushing tree. It's not entirely baseless..
