All over the place. As a balanced build, you still have to take a focus. The problem is that you're too balanced, focus a little more on blocking and a little less on running (since you're already a little better blocker than a runner). When you're too balanced, you kind of suck at everything equally. With a focus, you're slightly worse than a specialist build, but adequate at your secondary role... this is why I prefer to go offensive focus on my balanced FBs, because blocking isn't as tough to do adequately (as opposed to rushing).

Too balanced man.

If you block, your only half as good as a full blocking FB... and if you rush your only half as good as a full rushing FB... that just wont work. Pick a primary and roll with it. Your skills, SA's and VA's are all split right down the middle.

My guy has played for 3 teams different approaches, one wanted me as runner & had very little depth, Elwood was the only full back so thats why his stamina is high & the other a runner & the other a bench warmer. Oh well, thats what I thought.

You're not impossible to fix, but you really need to focus your VAs on one role. It's fine to have a little of both SAs as a balanced build.

You have to get speed up regardless of which focus you choose... I only suggest going for a blocking focus because it's easier to transition over to that role. It's going to take two seasons worth of resets to fix your VAs though, unless you decide to take an offensive focus (but your attributes are kind of weak to be an offensive focus).

If you want to go offensive focus, put all but 12 EQ into strength (the 12 go into speed). Get speed to 68 naturally. Take carrying to 60 or higher (the higher the better). Get confidence to the first cap. Take power thru to 8 or 9. Take bruiser, short yd monster and scat back to 15. Take strength to 68 or 73 naturally. Finally get a couple pieces of AEQ with +% break tackle chance.

If you want to go blocking focus, split EQ 3-ways (strength, speed and agility). Get speed to 68 naturally. Take agility to 60 or higher (the higher the better). Get vision to the first cap at a minimum (confidence might be nice to have at the first cap too). Take lead block to 8 or 9. Take outside blocker and downfield blocker to 15. Take strength to 68 or 73 naturally. I would take agility to 68 before strength though.

It's going to be hard either way and you won't be great when you finally get there, but you'll be adequate IMHO.

what about vision?! how can you pick up the blitzs if you can see them blitzing?!
