Not to mentioning that is very hard for a defender to have good caps in TT, TG, Sprinting and Conditioning, and now def consistency is more important, so can't ignore confidence. And a whole defense can't/shouldn't build just to stop one position, 1v11 is absurd.
And this goes to the heart of the problem. There is no way to put the suggested SP into all these skills recommended. Conditioning, Tackling....then Power Tackling.....Grip.....oh wait Powerbacks have lots of speed so you need a ton of Sprinting.......hmm, don't forget toughness....pursuit.....Heart is essential now. We haven't even touched on skills for pass coverage, lol.
The whole problem goes back to RBs only needing 3 main skills. Acceleration should be moved to quickness, and Sprinting should be Top speed only. Power Running is OP because the BT roll doesn't rely on balance/toughness/intimidation enough. I like that they added Elusive/footwork for indirect hits...but it doesn't seem strong enough. Power rushers should have the wear and tear on their conditioning that we see it at other positions, like a lineman getting caked.
