Madden NFL 13 Ratings - Vote For the Most Elusive Running Back

[MaddenSaints]

This is what I have been saying all along. Charles and Peterson are better RB's than Sproles overall but when it comes to elusiveness then Sproles wins hands down.

But in the top 100 video you hear defenders and commentators talk about how he's the most elusive running back in the league, going as far as comparing him with barry sanders. I don't know how much more elusive you can get than that.

I don't know. I understand where people are coming from because he's so agile and quick but at the same time once you get a hand on him, he's going down.

I admit he is not the strongest but that is not his part of his game. Elusivness is agility such as speed, balance and agility, not strength.

Isn't it still a factor though? If you're not breaking many tackles once contact is made, isn't that a factor in elusiveness?

My top 5: Sproles, Peterson, Charles, McCoy, Johnson. Honorable Mentions: Foster, MJD

In my eyes elusiveness is about avoiding contact in general, once contact is made that's where the other ratings come into effect such as break tackle/stiff arm/trucking

I feel the same way for the most part. But at the same time a guy like Dexter McCluster is out of the same mold as Sproles, although not nearly as effective, but I don't really consider him that elusive. He's great in space but he's fairly easy to bring down. It's tough because I know they're really elusive but at the same time it's hard to overlook how easy they can be to bring down.
