For me the RB ratings are close to what I use. I would reduce spd by a bit and add it to str and elu.

Do faster RBs have more success running outside? Do stronger RBs have more success running inside? I haven't witnessed that. Maybe at higher levels they do ?

The biggest question I have is HND. I know that HND is important for RBs who are asked to catch passes. But does it also help their ability to avoid fumbles? It seems like RBs fumble way too often, and I'm wondering if HND should be given more weight.

I remember something about str and tech influenced fumbles.

I'm going to continue here with a theme that I mentioned for QB Running.

TECH, on all players is 8. First, that is a pretty low number. Second, its the same for all of the positions in question.

So, I question whether or not its even worth including.

Tech should be higher on possession back

Way back when, Oriole_fan told me that TECH was going to be used similarly to what ATH had been used for before - a general modifier on all play results. There was nothing from him that indicated it made a large difference in anything except QB.

Now. that was while 3.0 was still in beta, so who knows if that's true today. That's why I wanted to open these discussions, because real-world experience trumps something said by someone that, for all we know, isn't even with the company any longer.

And, to for myself, I don't know that it is important or not....but I have basically stopped considering it for any player other than QB. That is since my return to the game just 2 seasons ago (D2).

I hope we get some more discussion on this.

Four days without comment, so what's the decision on RB's?

That rb's run with the ball more so than any other position ?

I was hoping for some more input on the value of TECH.

I do not consider Tech in my evaluation of a RB.

Neither do I.
