I'm about to create a half-back for Superstar mode, but I dont know how big (or small) I should make him. Height and weight wize.



Also, what are the best stats to have, and the worst stats to have. Im thinking of primarily putting points in speed, strength, agility, and break tackle.

Oppinions/Suggestions?

Dunno about size and weight. I like mine quick and powerful. As long as they can outrun the safties for a big gain, than that is fast enough. I'd go for strength, trucking, speed, and acceleration.

Awesome, thanks! Is trucking an actual stat, or do u mean like just plowing through guys?

Any suggestions for size or weight anyone?

Yeah, trucking is a stat. It's using the highlight stick. So instead of having a smaller back who ducks under people or jukes around them (which takes longer) when you use the highlight stick, you just bowl them over.

i guess its best for an all around player to be like adrian peterson or LT cause they are the guys that are power, fast, and finesse backs. obviously the bigger guys are for truck sticking and little guys are for lightning. just put together LT and AP and find the averages.

well since its a videogame it really doesnt matter what size you make him. ive made like super tall guys and super short guys, but the only thing that matters in the game is the person's attributes. but if you're trying to be realistic id say a good size is about 6"1 and around 220 pounds.

I always go for the short, stout guys, like 5'9 250, because even though the game doesn't put it into effect, low center of gravity is great for the types of running backs I like (smashmouth blow 'em over types not the speedy nimble types), but that's just me.
