Pretty damn good SA. Gonna use that on Jabba instead of Surge. GOLD = +15 to power running, run awareness and grip? Nice. Although it only fires when insdie the 20 yard line and/or 1 yard to go for the 1st. (95% activation)

Add that to Gold Power Through (+15 power running) and you get +30 Power Running on almost every play in the red zone. Add that to my cap of 93 and Jabba will be rumbling at 123 Power Running! Who cares if he has 30 sprint...he will just run over you twice!

This will pretty much change my tactics to run up the middle on all short yardage and most red zone plays out of goalline formation...you know, cause I cannot switch my HBs in any non-goalline formation.

Add it to gold grinder and you have an invincible back on 3rd and short

Gotta keep my silver brace for impact.

Damn...grinder looks nice also.

So now I am thinking about changing out Goal Line Back for Grinder.

Gold Grinder:
- Carrying the ball on 3rd or 4th down, short of the 1st down
- 75% activation
- powered by: toughness
- 3 seconds
- +12 to power running, grip and balance

Gold Goal Line Back:
- Inside opponent 20 yard line or less than 1 yard for 1st down
- 95% activation
- passive
- Entire play
- +15 to power running, grip and awareness

I like the activation % on GLB and the additional 3 to power running, but the amount of times it will be used is much smaller than Grinder, IMHO. I like the balance boost on Grinder too.

Does anybody have Gold Grinder? How often does it fire compared to the toughness of the player? Is it like BFI where it has multiple chances of firing?

Grinder only works when "carrying the ball on 3rd and 4th down, short of a first down", which the description of seems redundant. GLB works anywhere on the field with one yard to go so both have a chance to fire in short yardage. I like the balance bonus more than the awareness so Grinder would be my choice.

It means that it wont fire once your back gets past the LOS.

Which is fine. I just want Jabba to pick up 1st downs. Move the chains, keep the clocking rolling and wear down the defense.

With 30 speed and no threat to run outside you will just get defenses loading up the box on him every play. 120 power running doesnt matter if 3 guys are there to bring him down immediately.

He will mainly be running out of goalline, so I should have enough blockers to minimize the gang tackling.

Neither.

Well now I like Frieght Train instead of Grinder. Love the tackle grip and energy/morale loss on the defender. Falls right into my game plan of wearing down the defense with long drives and morale/energy reduction.
