No offense but can you read? The reason I'm asking is because I never claimed he was tearing it up. Where did that come into play? I simply said that I had over 76-78 natural speed and I didn't neglect any other attributes. His agility is over 90, catching 50+, stam 50+, carrying and vision 60+, and has good distribution in his SAs.

Since you want to bring up stats then the reason is, with the exception of one season, I've stayed with the same group of guys for better or worse. For many of his seasons, he hasn't had the dedicated run blocking that the great S1 stat HBs get. He has split carries his entire career and I've also never played in a cupcake league. If I was like most agents and jumped around teams and spent a few seasons in lesser leagues my HB would have better stats. If I also demanded to get 90% of the carries like the other backs I would have better stats as well.

I've compared his build to a few of the best backs during my time in GLB, and he always stacked up better than most backs 4-5 levels ahead of him. Don't hate the player hate the game.

I don't know if you are trolling or what saying he has never torn it up. Go look at the thread with the best GLB players in history. While he's not up there with tea baggins, he has had better or comparable career stats on pass oriented teams than a majority of the backs on that list.

How about this guy, you have heard of DMP?

He's had a comparable single season best with his best, and that's splitting carries in a competitive league with pass blocking.

Hulk Blazing, many of the most famous backs in GLB have had worse careers than my guy. I love my HB and he is definitely among the best build wise if nothing else. I simply came in here to post my experience with a speed above the OP's question and you guys decided to blast or take pot shots at my guy, so there you go.

Either go 68 speed, or 95 speed There's really no middle ground.

Haha maybe I went too far, but I am passionate when it comes to my first dot, no matter how little the shot taken .

I was pretty happy with my first HB. At one stage his speed was looking like it was going to be top notch, but all the jumping around changed that. My next HB is looking like he's going to be a star, if he isn't handicapped because of his age first. Still, as long as he gets 20 plays a game he'll be fine.

I did not want to get under your skin so step down from your soapbox. If thats the way you build your players power to you. I have a different opinion, voiced in and thats about it.

I didn't see your opinion voiced here, I just saw you taking a shot at my guy's career. When you let us know about how you build HBs, then that would be a valid statement.

His base is 84 and with eq its 111 right now and I haven't neglected anything important to an elusive/speed back. I even got catching up to 50 and with scat back he catches balls blindfolded.



Adding SPs to something past the 78 cap and not putting all your EQ there is terribly inefficient (unless of course you have 2 attributes past the 78 cap).

I seriously doubt you have added points at the 6:1 level for any player in 3 different attributes. There is a differences between actively taking something past the cap and letting it go past due to level gains.

And how exactly does that difference relate to proper placement of equipment points?


It doesn't.
