Elusive HB vs Power HB is it balanced ?

I understand both have they advantages and disadvantages but it seems the power HB has more benefit then elusive.

so i would suggest to make elusive HB just as balanced they are probably close in price as well. Even if its just the elusive running aspect. Since consistency and amount of chances seems kind of unbalanced, Power backs just keeps rushing most of the time once built unless someone specializes in taking them down a elusive HB can probably be taken down by anyone plus does not consistently cause most of the time its after a few plays

Also i would consider a receiving back as something different completely so it should not be considered as reasoning why it should be unbalanced.

I would love to hear what people think .

A lot of people would argue the opposite. Both can be powerful, but a power HB is much more dependent on a good o line. A good elusive HB can fit into any offense and can be easier on the salary cap with the right builds. Power HBs also fumble a lot more.

Power HBs are better on kickoff/punt returns though.

Just going off what you said but the reason why power HBs fumble a lot more is because people have a tendency to make them slow and just keep chugging through people right ?

Salary cap- I would of said the the powerback is most likely cheaper since
less likely to use-
Egotist
Natural

More likely to use-
Bruiser
fearsome
meathead

likely to use for both elusive and power-
Rusher
Unpredictable
strong base

Also i would say the much more dependent part on the o-line goes both ways since there is times where the Power back won't chug through people by himself and there is times where the elusive back won't dodge people. Plus the frequency of the times a power back won't chug through players seems a lot less then the amount of times a elusive back won't dodge through players.

Elusive backs are not all built the same. It’s a far more diverse rushing style, and requires significantly less investment to wreak havoc.

No...Elusive HBs are OP as hell. Power HBs are not.

It seems to me its not the particular type of back, but rather who's building it. There are clever agents in this game who build players that seem OP no matter what.

I think both are similar in cost depending on as mentioned earlier the build method, both have advantages and disadvantages, having a reliable tandem of the two can wreak havoc and the latter tiers. I have never found value in a Hybrid blend.

would a HB with no elusive or power running, high Carry awareness and physical be viable? I never dared to test it

Have you guys got a example elusive players after we lost all our players ? Originally posted by atlbruce

Since i respec ed a HB of mine lately and elusive does not feel as overpowered as it used to be so i want to see something that shows me elusive is still really good since i normally only main elusive never done a power back at all

Such a sick run, favorite one I’ve seen yet

The answer is heeeeeeeeeeeeeell no.

Pursuit is a lot more accurate/aggressive since some recent changes before and after the datapocolypsee- was viable before, now impossible.

Yeah spin is actually OP as hell atm, kinda neat since its been famously a worse juke.

Shoe, other foot.
