Have Rb A on roster, thinking of getting B.

Thoughts?

Re: Which RB is better?

Well, those are pretty close. It really depends on how you use them. I'd probably go with A because he has the higher speed, which is the most expensive to upgrade and he's 2 years younger.

These are some super crazy rated RBs too. Holy cow. Those are like mini Lynchs. 87 and 92 STR!

Re: Which RB is better?

I'd definitely prefer RB b. Better attributes, better acceleration, and just a touch slower. Speed isn't everything and he'd be a monster once you get him the fight for yards trait.

Re: Which RB is better?

For me RB B as well, for all the reasons friscob said hah, i'd lose a couple points of speed for that strength and acc.. brutal

[ggsimmonds]

Re: Which RB is better?

Definitely B.

for RBs, acc is far more important than speed.

Also, 92 str and 96 agi? holy crap was he genetically engineered?

Re: Which RB is better?

I'd have to go B too. That guy looks like a freak of nature. What draft class is he in?

[ostone]

Re: Which RB is better?

He's in the Lenzelle drake/gutierrez/connor phillip draft.

And I was thinking B as well, But A has wr like catching attributes. Does this not factor in the decision very much?

[Herbn]

Re: Which RB is better?

Thanks, I'll have to keep an eye out for that class.

The catching stats for B are perfectly fine. They are more than high enough for him to reliably catch passes out of the backfield. Also, keep in mind that those attributes are easy to develop because they're cheap. Something like strength is incredibly expensive.

I have David Wilson and Eddie Lacy as my RBs, and their catching stats are much lower. However, they rarely ever drop passes, and when they do, it's usually because I made a bad throw.

It's always nice to have a RB that has great hands, but their main job is to run the ball.

Sure if that is the style you want to play. But those are cheaper to upgrade then str,spd,acc and agil. 92 str is ridiculous. That is like AP strong. I would go with B and just upgrade the catching attributes.

Also about the strength, in my years of scouting madden drafts (whole 2 years lol), I feel it is very rare to find a RB (that isn't a FB or should be) with that high combination of STR, SPD, ACC, and AGI. A RB with just SPD, ACC, and AGI and no STR are easy to come by.

Re: Which RB is better?

TE only reason to keep A is the speed. The age gap isn't enough. Personally, I think speed is overrated for RBs. I'd take player B.

Just to play devil's advocate, here are the top rb's and their str.

89 - AP
88- Lynch, Jacobs
85- S. Jackson, Richardson, Blount
84- Snelling, Turner, McGahee

So rb B is way ahead of all these guys, while Rb A is only behind lynch Jacobs and AP. So is that "little bit of diff" worth the drop off in speed.

I use Benji Jackson. I don't know his stats off top of my head. However I upgraded his ACC from 96 to 99 and it only cost 20K a point. His speed is at 96 or 97. I'm curious of his STR now, because he runs guy over often. He is the best back I've found. I have not had eiher of the 2 listed here yet.

Re: Which RB is better?

IMO the critical stat is missing. What are their carry ratings? With the run blocking in this game, I can get production out of anyone, but if they are causing turnovers it's over.

Carrying is really cheap to develop. Speed, acceleration and strength are far more expensive to develop, so they come at a premium for any player.
