How effective are balanced HBs? Is it practical to have a balanced half back? I'm wondering if I should have focused on power or elusive instead of trying to make a reliable balanced player.

Thoughts?

That's actual an interesting thought game.

Speeed and power backs can focus their SP's. They also get more effect from their SA's.

A balanced back would be able to get more out of their SP's at first since they're not pushing into the 500+ SP per point range as soon. The downside is that's you won't get as much out of SA's, nor will you have the high end skills that defenders will eventually get to.

Not sure which would be more advantageous tho...

works great atm.

a decent balanced back at s2 will get you some drag and some breakaway speed, but without fantastic blocking you won't hit many homeruns, and you won't run through tacklers like a true pHB would.
