Re: Do ratings matter in this game

It feels like momentum has a bigger impact than it really should. I play very run-heavy, both in power running and options. My "Impact" halfback always felt slow, sluggish, and fell forward on a tackle maybe 25% of the time. So one game, I drive down the field, but my HB goes out for a play to rest. I run my backup, he gets a TD. Next drive I ran a double-HB formation, and handed off to the backup. Compared to my starting HB, this guy felt like superman! So I checked his stats, and he was worse than my starter in literally every single category (spd, acc, str, trk, sfa, elu, ect ect). But his momentum was yellow, while my starter's was neutral. So I subbed him into a few formations, and ran him about 1/3 of what I did my starter. He ended up with more yards than my starter in that game, and three TD's to boot! He always fell forward, sometimes for six yards. Never dropped a pass, never fell to the first tackle. I was stunned. Overall, he was something like a 68 vs. my starter at 83.
