Running Power

does it do anything? i see most are usually the same

I assume you mean Rushing Power (RP), the second ability listed under Running Speed (RS) and above Maximum Speed (MS). In the original TSB for the NES, Rushing Power controlled how fast a player accelerated from his Running Speed to his actual maximum speed. A player's actual maximum speed was some sort of sum between his Running Speed and his Maximum Speed abilities.

I haven't tested other versions of TSB, but my assumption is that it has remained the same.

Here's a more detailed answer, a copy of the post I made in the Accuracy of Passing, Quickness - What Do They Do? topic, during which someone asked about RP.

"Rushing Power effects how fast a player accelerates to his Maximum Speed. Running Speed is a player's starting speed. A good way to witness this is to go into TSB Manager and set some running back's RS to 6, RP to 6, and MS to 100. At first the back is very slow, but if you can keep moving while avoiding getting hit for a few seconds, he'll get very fast. Now go into TSB Manager and set that back's RP to 100. Despite the fact his RS is still 6, all you'll see is pure, unadulterated speed. That's because now he accelerates to top speed almost instantaneously. One thing to remember is that MS is apparently added to RS to determine a runner's top speed. If you set a player's MS to be lower than his RS, he'll still accelerate a little, I think. At the very least, he won't deccelerate."
