My superstar is a bust!

[N51_rob]

In NCAA in my last two years I averaged 1800 rushing yards. My guy was 6'1" and weighed 230 pounds. My speed was 90 and I was a power back. In madden he is 247 pounds and is crazy slow to the hole. I still managed to get 1067 yard in my rookie campaign, (averaged a paultry 3.6 yards per cary.) I think I'm gonna move myself to fullback and let J.J. Arrington shoulder most of the load. Just use my guy in short yardage and goalline situations.

Did your player gain 17 pounds right before the draft?

Thats pretty cool story though... you are doing the right thing by reducing his role but at the same time, giving him the position where he will produce...

that is what the Giants should have done with Ron Dayne ever since his rookie season.

Re: My superstar is a bust!

Yeah he actually gained 17 pounds before the draft and his speed is now 84. It pains me to try and watch him hit a hole.

I think he is in a Ron Dayne mold. Hopefully I can still get him so TD's to up his exposure. I had high hopes for him though he was such a beast in NCAA, but I guess those are the breaks. Lol!
