4 For 4: Best Players of MM19 (HB Edition)
Quote from starkmm >> Damn you did my dude Saquon dirty with just an honorable mention smh
He was given a gift with the honorable mention. One of, if not the worst back with that high of an OVR. Was super psyched to get him, then almost immediately hid him in the FB spot for his boost after realizing how bad he played. Glad Marcus Allen isn't on this list, because he was equally bad given his stats.
Barry is great, but UL Payton is my #1. Aaron Jones plays almost identical to Payton and he has a better boost so I'm glad to see him on the list, but I just like Payton better as a player.
Never got a chance to try out the rest, was disappointed when I fell short of the top 100 for Kamara.
GoM Kamara was a beast for me so happy to at least see a version of him up there

Lol nah he just was a better FB than HB. He was still good just not better than anyone on the list I used.
Props for the Payton mention. He was brilliant for a very long time, and probably the first hb to hit 99’s in all important stats before VS and draft ramped up OVR boosts.
I used Payton until VS Saquon dropped, and quickly realized what a difference size makes at HB, which is when I went super small, and switched to the 95, and then 99 Barry Sanders.
Almost didn't do this because I got lazy and didn't feel like it but might as well send the season out with it after all the different players I tried out.
Rank criteria: All visible 99s. Unfortunately I was never able to find a Sig Sproles or Playerup Sproles so didn't get to check if he qualifies for this. The base version played well for the stats just didn't boost to great in many categories.
) Arrivals / CC Frank Gore - When the 98 Color Clash version was released this was most players' favorite HB. Add a bunch of overall boosts and you have Gore in his prime again.
) VS2 Jacquizz Rodgers - This guy is not very good in real life so let's get that out the way. Now in video game, his size gives him a good feel to make smooth cuts and elude tackles. He was a hidden gem if you had the metal masters to make him great.
