My guess is because of thresholds Bo will play like Dickerson without the 5 starting play boosts.
You are right about most RBs having 99s but it is all about abilities. 4 abilities with evasive, human joystick, bruiser and match up nightmare is what you are paying for. I'm going t ok wait a week and see how he plays. With Rbs this year stats dont matter , it is about how they play.
You do understand that Bo will be able to have Human Joy Stick, Evasive, Bruiser, and Outside Zone Guru all at the same time right? Basically, he will be Barry, but able to run you over and with higher carry. Not starting with an X-factor isn't going to matter, because not only will you struggle to even touch him, if you do manage to touch him, he will put your rear on the ground.
Getting Human Joystick, Evasive, Bruiser & Matchup Nightmare is pretty darn amazing. And his catching ratings have been boosted, so he’ll be a great target in the passing game. I’m not going to splurge for him day one — he’s not as impactful as Vick — but definitely the best RB this game will offer all year.
I think there’s a little to much hype but he’s still going to be a problem. If it was a Dickerson GT it would be worse. If I pull him I’ll keep him but will not be buying.
I agree he’ll be stopped in the backfield like every other back not named Eric Dickerson while activated
Ehhh I think he’s pretty much gonna be the most dominant card in the game. My only solace is the thought he may still not be as OP as Dickerson was with his X Factor and that didn’t end up being too crazy to stop. But everything is there for this card to reek havoc in this game.
Average? No way man it’s a golden ticket and the stars are not even juiced yet
99 speed 99 truck 99 accel 99 BTK 99 agility with Any ability you want... what’s average about that?
How easy it is to run around defense w HJS I feel like Bo will be the best back in the game being able to run around or through the defense lol
Really easy, even easier if you're playing H2H, because 95%+ of people don't understand pursuit angles.
At this point the run is really easy to contain. I wouldn’t waste millions of coins on a running back. But damn I love Bo Jackson so if I pulled it I would have to use him lol
There are certain cards that play well above anyone’s stats. Dickerson, bo, amd LT are just a few examples
I understand all the hype and his stats are all great. But let’s be honest most people already have 99 speed RB’s with 99 juke or truck or stiff arm. There’s so many chems possible in the game any RB can be turned into a “Bo.” The only OP RB is Erik Dickerson when he’s on fire and Bo can’t start the game on fire so I think it’ll be fine.
