honest question:

I get that doing something different (rushing fb) is fun.

But how can a fb ever be better than a hb considering he will always run with one fewer blocker in front of him?

On Diamond weak side runs he will have 2 lead blockers. That's really the only advantage I can think of. I ran that play a bunch but my FB didn't have high enough power running and it still did decent. Plug in a high power running FB and you got something.

Not really, my S* rushing FB with 100 PR and 80 Speed never made much of it. Even with a HB with decent lead block abilities. Maybe 90+ Conditioning and he would have been great though.

Yup, I will have 100 Power Running/99 Conditioning/69 Speed on Full Frontal. On top of that I have a pure bTE, bWR and a shiny new bHB, for GL formation or whenever I want to switch it up, coming down the pupline.

Shits, giggles and achievements. Plus I want to see what the FB plays have to offer. Might even throw some hands on him for screens.

Just confirmed that playing a PUP S* all the way to Vet still returns a filled S* bar when retired.

My next experiment is the fastest player in GLB history: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/player/206676

He'll max out sprinting and conditioning at 100, Quickness at 35, Carrying awareness at 50, and Toughness at 25.

When Tuck and Run fires, he'll be at 120 Sprinting, 55 Quickness, with 100 Conditioning... he should be the fastest player in GLB history for those brief, shining moments.

So I posted this a few months ago, but I finally have T&R golded, 100 sprinting, and enough conditioning to write home about: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/319555/24123?player_id=206676

Just a 17 yard carry but that's apparently what 120 Sprinting looks like. Working on conditioning and quickness for the rest of the build, hoping to see some quicker acceleration and top speed hit sooner/maintained longer.

That looks pretty damn fast, wonder if people will start trying to use "tuck and run" more often with the recent increase to the activation chance.

Anyone testing brick wall yet?

It's next on my list, but testing Inspire Fear first.

It's on our punter on D'Hara

Our Punter on KY has Fear as well.

One of my agents has a QB he could get never get signed on a human team with Tuck and Run that was pretty well rounded I recall.

Can't be too careful with s*. Having to rebuild it would be a pain.

First long TD scramble, without even T&R firing: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/319851/93366
