Best type of RB?
I use 5 RBs I use cook and sanders most the time then conner when I need a power back and bettis in goalline and short yards and bell on passing but cook and sanders do the most regardless of type of RB they are. But I'd have to say you only need one PowerBack really, but I feel Elusive back might be better.
One power back and one receiving back. Rotate them often. Stamina plays a huge roll in their effectiveness.
Quick and elusive is best but don't run outside. Most of the time I run Read Option and my OOP Ladanian Tomlinson goes flying down the left side for a big gain.
I think having a mix is the best route to go. One powerful back that can drop forward most of the time is definitely valuable to have. One fast,agile rb that can get outside on sweeps and one receiving back that is good at catching the ball and running short and medium routes. Plus you can hide a rb or two in the specialist menu. I run barry,bo and dunn with bush and mostert hidden in the specialist menu. Bo and barry are the perfect combo.
Reciving backs get backfield master for 1 ap and that is the best skill for running backs this year. So I would say get any recieving back you can afford and keep Henry for up the middle runs since he gets a good truck animation and will fall foward .

Ok now i have henry for my rb1 and gibson 84 for my rb2 for passing game or screen pass. So you suggest to put henry as rb2 for short gain etc and a receving back as my rb1. Budget solution?
I think its called specialty tab you can set a 3down back and a power back so putting them 1 or 2 dosent matter as much. But I would recomend getting one alittle higher than 84 RB, 2 budget options would be bush who is pretty cheap and was the old best back and still is good alittle slow now but COD is still top notch which can be obtained for free in the 50 mission weeks 1-7. Or do TOTY missions and hope you get Mckissic for free, cooks cool to. Bush is most likely more of a realistic budget option. Now playing backs you can sub in which one you want in diffrent formations. Backfield Master give you more passing routes and super fast cuts and good catches. The only reason to take a recieving back over a Elusive is to save ap on backfield master beside that not much of a difrence. Diffrent backs have diffrent animation like Henry has a unique trucking animation. Bush will juke better than Kamara because of animation. When it comes to animation you will have to find the post or list some did who has the good juke vs bad but after that look for BTK for a back makes a world of diffrence. Best of luck hope this helps and if you are starting this late in the year I would focus on a theme team or split theme team but at the end of the day play who you want its just alittle funner that way imo.

thx mate nice comment. yep started late... tried a saints team but my wr were poor and didnt like brees at all. I have fun trying different pls on my team as I said have a budget team so
I am a saints fans so I always run it but cant stand Brees low THP so I run a Saints/Jets line up and have Favre as my QB and now with Santana Moss and Cooks finally have a good WR core. The reason I run /Jets I really wanted Revis and Adams so thats how it worked out. If you stick with Saints it will get Bush alitte faster and you can now get cook for almost free with super bowl promo. You might want to choose Raiders or Washington as the other split though.
Hi guys help.. according to you what kind of RB is the best option at this point of the game or generally? O strong one like Henry or a small and fast one? Speaking of budget team, so dont say buy some kind of 97 rb... lol
Just asking cause I play singleback form with 3wr 1te 1rb, and mine is Henry pu to 92. But lately its almost impossibile to me gaining yds with him. Running in the middle gives me little gain, outside is almost impossibile cause is quickness and agility. So its kinda better him for short gain of yds and no big plays? Or a small and fast one that gives opportunity to go outside, be elusive etc? Thx
