    RB Question

    I have a RB with speed 97 and acceleration 96 stats wise, but when I actually play the game he is slower than my other RB with 90 speed and 88 acceleration. By slow, I mean he'll have a wide open hole on an outside run and looks like he's carrying two pianos and an anvil on his back.

    Does this have to do with playbook knowledge? The fast RB still is learning the offense...or does it maybe have to do with my philosophy? I have balanced RB philosophy.

    Could be fatigue or health. If the 97 guy is tired of has really low health, he won't be as effective.

      Yes, fatigue plays a huge role. Press X instead of A on the play you call and it brings up a screen where you can easily sub people in and out.

        nope its not fatigue. just checked it put him in and he's still slow. know anything else that is could be?

        Odd thing is, I use him as my 4th WR for a couple of plays, and he burns the corner/linebacker who's on him every time. Even on swing passes he runs fast, but running the ball in space hes really slow.

        I'm thinking about just trading him. Is this a glitch?

          I have Darren McFadden and once he is in open field, he cannot be caught from behind, most of the time. The only exception is toss plays, where he can be caught from behind for reasons I don't know. I am thinking an artificial "speed limit" is placed on RBs close to the LoS.

            Oh I have to disagree with that. I have Ozzie Jones and he is CONSTANTLY being caught from behind which is an odd occurance since he has 99 Speed, Acceleration and Agility.... plus, I have speed training on my HC, OC and RBC.... so how in the world does every slow *** defender catch him from behind? And he seems to be quicker at the LoS when he first gets free but 5 yards later, he is running in sludge or something

              I had that experience with ozzie jones as well and also, he tends to run backwards frequently thus getting a loss of yardage that is why I ended up trading him .. I like boar jackson better, his trucking is awesome

                I might trade Leron James. He hasn't been performing well at all. He's currently 91 OVR with 95 POT, but doesn't burst or anything and even in the open field he gets caught ALOT from behind.

                  (Panthers) Well I have Perry Montgomery, LeRon James and Johnathan Steward and I have the best running game in the League. I'm at the last game of the regular season and LeRon James has 945 yard 8 TD, Perry has 855 yards and 15 TD and Steward has about 400 yards and 4 TDs. I avg about 150 rushing yards per game and I've gone over 200 yards in 4 games this year. I put LeRon in a Wildcat formation and has broken two 70 yard runs. He's a beast in my dynasty. And my QB's Jake Delhome and Jake Scott will combine for over 4000 yards. And my defensive is ranked in the top 5. Can we say SuperBowl

                    I guess it's my coaching because sometimes he does find holes and runs through them but defenders always catch him. I need to up my speed on my coaches development.

                      Reading these.....makes me wish we could have this online. I would love to play some of you guys teams with my Viks D.

                      Back to the subject. I have Peterson, and he seems to hit the hole slow, but after he gets past the LB's its going to the house. I think this is just the way the graphics are with the game.

                        But it doesn't happen with other RB's. For instance I have a FB (Barone) that EXPLODES and is FAST through the holes and he's never caught. He's a horrible blocker, but incredible at running.

                        Go figure lol.

                          I have speed on all my coaches and I can still see LineBackers close ground on LeRon James who has 97 speed.
