Most important Ratings for RB?

[cam15smith23]

Break tackle? Truck? Elusiveness? Can I hear everyone's opinion?

I'd say elusiveness, ball carrier vision, carry, speed, Agility, acceleration, juke moves, spin moves, break tackle and trucking.

This. Plus it depends on what kind of offense you're running. Obviously if you're running an Oregon type spread offense you're going to want speed over strength. And if you're running an I-back offense strength is more important

For me: STR, TRK, BCV, ELU, AGI, ACC

For me it depends on if I'm coaching or playing and the type of system I'm running with that team.

Most important to me is carrying.

After that it depends on your offense. Typically for me:

Acc is more important than speed...90 speed is useless if it takes him 50 yards to reach it. I'd gladly take low 80 speed with good acc.

Spin move... Cuz I use it a lot

Trk to hit the hole hard

Always a plus if they have good catching out of the backfield though.

As others have said, it depends on your system. At the moment I am running a run heavy, spread option system. My number one guy is a "balanced" back with great speed. My number two guy is a "power" back with mid 80's trucking, low 80's strength, and great carrying. Both get about the same YPC, they just do it in different ways. The power guy has a huge YA contact and the speed guy just gets to the tackle faster. Personally I think carrying may be the most important skill. You can change up your play calling and system to fit you players, but if they cant hold onto the football it doesn't much matter. I have sat guys that are 5-10 points better then their back up because they had bad carrying ratings.

So you're saying that ACC determines how fast a player gets to top speed? Because I've always wondered which is more important speed or acceleration.
