Breaking Down the NFL Rivals Player Card Attributes
Every player card in the game, whether a base card or a limited edition (LE) one, has a set of attributes that determine their in-game performance on the field.
Some attributes are considered core to all player cards, regardless of position, and have an effect on all cards’ performance: strength, speed, quickness, acceleration, and presence. Others are specific to a range of positions, such as endurance, which only applies to positions that carry the ball.
All other attributes are specific to the lineup position and their importance to the card’s success are arrayed in order in that stats section. For example, offensive linemen aren’t affected by their Jump stats, running backs don’t care about Man Coverage, and quarterbacks are the only ones who need to worry about their Throw Power.
Now, here’s a breakdown of what each stat means:
SpeedThis stat affects all player cards and determines the maximum for how fast a player can run on the field.
StrengthStrength plays into the success players have with making or blocking tackles. For ball carriers, their Run Block and Pass Block stats tag team with Strength to determine how well they do fending off tackles. For defensive players, their Tackle and Strength
QuicknessThe quickness stat determines how easily players can change direction on the field. It also covers the ability to spin and juke.
AccelerationHow fast a player can reach their top speed is determined by the card’s acceleration score.
PresenceThe Presence stat determines how well the player perceives the field around them. For quarterbacks, this attribute informs how long they have until they start feeling the sack pressure. For defensive players, this affects how quickly they react to passes made in their zone.
