I was thinking about going with gold PT, gold Stiff Arm, silver BFI or silver Mr. Reliable, and Freight Train.

How helpful is Freight Train for a back that gets tons of carries for tiring out defenses? It would at least seem like an additional 5 energy and 2.5 morale from silver would make most tackles would be a nice way to make the starters a lot less effective quickly. And blasting a LB for 10 energy and 5 morale from gold when tackled seems like an awful lot.

Am I way off base here?

Only problem with Freight Train is that it is powered by Intimidation, so you obviously have to "waste" SPs in Intimidation.

Freight Train is nice for a relatively speedy power back imo.

Freight train is nice, you can make it work as well on a meta S* HB, 95 sprinting, 99 conditioning, 97 power running, and you can pump intim to 70+ with 95 carry grip as well. It's really nice in that it lowers the speed loss from dragging, and weakens their grip as well. Biggest problem for power HB's is the time it take for them to drop their dragged tacklers, because they can only break one tackle at time.

Madcows team has (or had, on mobile right now) a star hb with freight train. Trogdor just hit gold and will have some data to look over this season. My thought is it's pretty useful if you look at it for the breaking tackle/not losing speed aspect of it, not really the morale part.


Here's a thread on it. Ignore the mass down votes. Someone was on their period.

Does anyone know if FT and B4I can fire at the same time?

I think you are referring to this guy: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/155702

He was pretty good but not amazing. I built him back around season 10 when it wasn't common knowledge that balance did virtually nothing for a powerback and conditioning was the secret, therefore, he had way too much balance and not enough conditioning to be truly great. I did like the freight train SA though, it seemed to fire a lot and create some big gains, if you are willing to spend the points into intimidation, I'd say it's worth using.

yeah, that's him. might be even better now that morale is more important. Glad I was able to pull some data off you.
