power runners are certainly more effective than speed/elusive. Ruins the point of using a CB, though.


The CBs can be still be effective.

At first I thought those TDs were just against weaker teams, but after actually watching them, most of them were good returns against decent teams. You've built a great returner there.

Also keep in mind that while Power running is dominant right now it might not be by the time you get there.

Whether it be by a Power nerf, an elusive boost, or just defenders catching on in terms of strength, the Power back isn't likely to remain as dominant as they are now for the long haul.


At the moment it's because most DBs and some LBs have neglected strength and tackling.


Wrong. It's because the pathfinding is fucked up.

The best KR's are G's and OT's.


Oh, I was thinking about HB. But that's the reason why powerbacks are so effective. Elusive backs aren't doing as well as they should because the vision is fucked up: they won't hit the hole because they know they will get tackled.

Some very nice returns there. Pretty shifty.

Those runs look pretty good.

What's your Speed/Agility/Vision?

Also, it looks like you are running on Elusive - is that correct?

I have a CB/KR as well, but not quite running as effectively this season, as I did previously. The Kick Returns are still pretty good, but Punt Return has been so ineffective, I just took myself off.

Also, switching from Elusive to Combo seemed to help my player a lot, he definitely doesn't sit around and wait to be tackled anymore, like he used to.

I'd say about 4 of the TDs were against weaker teams and 4 were against playoff quality teams. Most games she has had fairly big plays, not just a couple big plays against bad opposition

Hope it's truth. Seeing linemen bowling ball kick returns for TDs is unrealistic.

Vision is broke, so high vision HURTS you on kick returns.

I suspect vision and agility are higher than speed. for returns you can't be to fast or you will out run your blocker.

vision is about to be fixed and obviously it isn't to broke if Erica has a bunch of returns
