Nick Chubb Review: Spoiler? He bad.

I made a Chubb today in my quest to find an elite big back that could find places on teams that were strapped for X-factors. 

He is not the answer. 

I loaded him up with Human Joystick, Bruiser, and Reach for it for a total of 3 AP. 

Despite having 99 SPD and ACC he felt slow. Slower than the LTD Stevenson that released this week. 

Also, even with Human Joystick, he does not turn well. He's more like a tugboat on the field. 

You'd think that he'd be good in short yardage situations. He's not. He doesn't make people miss nor does he run over people. He's a master at compromise because he meets the other side and they  settle somewhere in the middle. 

His catching is good/fair. Catching out of the backfield was fine but lining up on the outside really highlight that 73 release. 

Overall, he's a disappointment as a card. I had high hopes for this card but he was outplayed by the LTD Stevenson and the LTD Henry not powered up. 

MY TESTING ENVIRONMENT : I have the UL line with Tornado and Terror as backups. 

I run plays out of the Saints, Bucs, and Ravens playbook. 

I test in practice, CPU, and H20H 

Thank you for your time.

I get a few hours in every day to practice with plays and players. I just changed things up a bit today like I did when I tried Stevenson.

No i didnt mean from playing I meant from typing that

Some people like wizzle type a lot

They always screw Chubb cards. He’s my favorite player in the NFL but I can never use his cards because EA outdates them super quickly or nerfs his stats.

A top HB in the league really deserves better.

Stevenson and unlit Henry are better than Chubb and that shouldn't be a thing. 

I'm trying to figure out the formula. I think that for a RB to do well in short yardage they have to be 6 foot tall or 246 pounds. 

I also think that receiving/elusive backs have better animations than power backs, that's why Flash and Pollard do so well breaking tackles (X-factor and non X-factor). 

I'm waiting until a few more backs come out with the new bucket system before I say anything is concrete.

Air trucking and falling forward are main components of a good power back in MUT, and 246 lbs is the threshold. I don't think there's a big height factor, but I think they do fall forward slightly more if they're tall. 

The main thing is they screwed Chubb on his elusive traits (85 spin move is terrible at this point in the year) and didn't give him the strength rating he deserves. Chubb should be able to truck people and stiff arm them into the ground, but they decided to give him 87 strength when irl he's one of the strongest HBs in the NFL, just slightly less so than Derrick Henry.

His COD is also poor compared to his contemporaries. In short yardage there's little room to navigate and a RB running like a shopping cart with one bad wheel isn't going to do well.

Unfortunately. They should have given him better abilities to make up for it. Not Chubb's fault the way they program the game makes smaller power backs nearly useless.

they never stat him like he can catch so he wouldn't fit my scheme. 

In general this year the smaller/elusive backs are better unless you got the x factor and just run straight. Flash though is the best and he's the elusive one too. Saquon is actually my favorite besides flash as a non x factor because there are both bigger but elusive. Chubb, Henry, Stevensson and dillon are just bowling balls.

he  just really feels sluggish to me.  I was very disappointed after doing the set I should have used the cards in other sets that probably would have produced more usable cards. Live and learn I guess

i would just go grab flash if you need a great rb that can run and catch

In franchise and when hi harvest came out he was slow and didn't truck for the life of him. barely fell forward and couldnt escape trough holes. the reason to me why hes so bad is his weight and size. big boy for his size which slows him down.
