Are there good power backs in the madden 16 draft classes?

[howboutdat]

Ok so last year it didnt seem like there were many good power backs in the drafts. While i know and agree you shouldnt find a Lynch in everyone . Has anyone who was simmed to multiple drafts seen many good power backs to use? I know most just want speed backs because it kills in madden. However im lookin more like are there some good strong backs with 89ish - 90 speeds that can run people over??

I haven't found too many power backs with more than 86 speed and I think that is on purpose, Lynch is kind of a unique back and won't come around in a draft that often.

Best power back I found was just the other day. A kid named Patrick Jackson with 85 speed, 90 accel that just trucks the living daylights out of fools. He's been a beast for me so far. In summation, you can find quality power backs, they just won't be as fast as Lynch.

Yeah I found a real nice powerback in a draft in a CFM I was experimenting with before the update. Forgot his stats exactly but something like 89sp 88acc 83str and 91trucking also star dev (his name was Duke).

I picked up a back in the early 2nd round with 91 speed and 92 trucking. Upper 80s in ACC and AGI. upper 70s in Elusivness and stiff arm.

Haven't gotten to the draft yet but I've fully scouted and watchlisted a "Speed Back" in the Vertical Offense whose top 3 intangibles are:

A- Trucking
B+ Elusiveness
B+ Stiff Arm

Dying to see the outcome of the combine stats.

Nice i hope i draft a back like this ,because in madden 16 the power guys are great and to me more important . this guy seem more like L Bell. how much did he weigh ?

sound just like lynch isn't lynch a 85 speed ? And lynch run every corner over and then breaks long runs for me !

I found a good one. Perfect compliment to Melvin Gordon and I want to say I got him in the 4th round? I mainly just looked for backs that were 215+ and scouted them lol. I'll have to get his exact stats when I get home, but they ARE out there.

That looks like the back I drafted. Just wondering in case they construct a few crafted star players and then randomize the names, is he from a small school, maybe Northern Iowa or something? The guy I drafted was. I'm not 100% sure on the school through. The guy I got ended up having SS development.

Also, just in case they aren't as random as advertised on names and such my guy was named:

I don't recall him being huge. Maybe 6-6'1 and in the 215-220 range for weight.

That's nice to see i guess checking weight matters first !

Yeap, makes scouting alot easier this year if your just in need of a short yardage bruiser.

Speaking of drafts this year, are all of the drafts thus year random or are they pre built draft classes?
