Lorenzo Neal was a stud, no way L.T. would've gotten the record for touchdowns in a season without Lorenzo

We still going to be required to carry a FB on a roster?

I form is still a main staple in my offense, man. Lol. I hate spread chuck n duck offenses, in general. The Falcons playbook had 2 TE looks that I used a lot as well. But, there's nothing like running behind a FB to get that big block and bust u free. Although, in madden, this is tricky, because normally your FB either runs behind u parallel to LOS, or he runs downfield to block the S and doesn't worry about the LBs so much who end up annihilating u! Lol. But, overall, yeah, I always appreciate a good FB, and always carry a good FB. Preferably, with high RBK, of course, but if he happens to have hands, or high truck, I'll give him some short yardage dive carries and/or look for him in the flat from time to time.

Overall reflects how skilled the player is; but it is by no means an indicator of performance.

I can take two FBs who have the exact same overall; but one is a great blocker who can't catch or run the ball worth crap. The other might be a great runner/receiver who can't block worth crap. That is two very different players and their respective performances are going to vary based on their scheme and how the teams use them. You put the blocker into a scheme where he is asked to handle the ball a lot, he is not going to be as successful. It's putting a square peg into a round hole (ask Rex Ryan what happens when you try to try to squeeze personnel into a scheme which doesn't fit their skills).

Madden is no different than any other sports game....overall rating means absolutely nothing.

It depends on the offense I think. I ran with the Skins in '17 and I didn't have a FB on the roster. Didn't bring one in or draft onre. That spot was just blank. I think if I had brought one on that would have changed.

All i want to know, is what is happening in the screenshot? You have a Broncos defender chasing down the fullback, but than what is that 49er's player doing walking away nonchalant LOL

I believe thats the QB, who may have gotten turned around after throwing the ball. Maybe he was tackled and just got up. many possibilities.

I had a feeling it was the QB but its unfortunate that the game is coming out in weeks and still to have those lifeless issues of players not even acting like they are contributing to play. Just a loss of immersion is all im stating about the pick. BUT in all honesty I'm glad to see the 49er's have a top player in a catergory
