Will Power HB's be viable in BB?

Look at the massive arms on WR #88. What a freak. Must be getting his steroids from K-Mart. The sky looks calming.......the blades of glass....the little bitty 3D people who make up a realistic crowd.....atmosphere.

i think people are looking at the pads and not ghe player because they are not all the same size

that's the first pic I've seen where you can see a size differential. Haven't noticed in the videos, but thanks for pointing it out.

If there was fatigue...Still great stuff nontheless. Hopefully the "FORM" system plays out.

I dont think 88 has massive arms in that pic.. Basic noodle arms. In fact I think he has the smallest arms out of the models in the photo. IMO

I really like using Power HBs in football games, so if they aren't viable or are much less effective than Elusive HBs in BB it will be a huge turn off (espcially since I'm still on the fence about getting it).

The lastest video has power running using the shoulder charge action, etc

This is a real big question mark for me... is this going to be random (but wait, I thought 'dice rolls' were the debil) or will your good players always be good and your bad players always be bad?

I don't know but it would be nice if it was a situation where, say you had to...keep everyone involved.....like if you ignore a receiver for a whole game, his form might drop alittle.....same thing with a RB.....or as a QB if you keep making bad passes or decisions....his form might drop alittle...

kind of like MLB The Show....if you keep picking one pitch, say fast ball, sure that pitch's effectiveness would increase...but if you ignore your other pitches, then the meter on your curveball would decrease and when you choose to throw it, it won't be as effective until you build it up as well....like your fast ball.......so that was the fun part about MLB The Show....you had strategize within the your regular strategy of just trying to get someone out....

almost like game within a game.....that'd be cool if that was the case with BackBreaker.
