Cj2K gameplay review

So CJ2K played alright for me. He played like I expected him to. Got to the edges quickly  and probably was able to turn the corner on runs that no other HB in the game can (96 accel).....however, once a defender gets his hands on him, I don't care what his break tackle attribute says, he's going down. I can see using him for outside runs... 

In the passing game, CJ2k was ok. He turned upfield pretty quickly. His routes were fine and his catching was fine. But nothing exceptional .

but as an overall back, I still think Barry beats him. Barry can get to the sideline, he can push through tackles, and he's pretty good in the passing game

I haven't used him yet, but I agree with you based on using CJ2K in previous MUTs. He's obviously going to be quick to the edge, but unless you're really good on the sticks, he isn't better than some of the other top end backs. I'd rather give up 1-3 speed for someone that gives me at least 2/3 of the following:

1. Consistently breaks tackles and falls forward
2. Very elusive, especially between the tackles
3. Top end  pass catcher (as a RB)

You just described  Barry and Dickerson who are respectable catching the ball

That's pretty spot on to who I would be using right now if I actually invested in a top end running back lol. I'm sticking with Zeke and Cook as BNDs until Blitz. Bettis also fit my description for the first month or 2 after launch. I used him heavily even after cards were 3+ speed faster just for his ability to break the first tackle and fall forward nearly every time.

I also used him, but the Phenom X Factor is actually OP, its just not worth selling right now. Probably right before Blitz then buying him right back. Only card non BND on my team

Is Phenom just a renamed First One Free or actually something different?

More like a renamed Bo Knows. A combo of freight train, first one free, and vanguard
