The best player/base I've ever had was #32 Jim Brown, for my old Cleveland Browns (the first team I ever ran in EF). As Don Smith used to joke when Brown took his talents to the Tidewater, dude did everything and sold the popcorn.
He was the main running back, best receiver, best kick returner, best punt returner, always the fumble man, top interceptor, and he blocked 3 punts. Went 13-1 that year, but Pratt got me in the playoffs. I'm pretty sure he was a Buzzball running back figure.
He was so dominant that defensively, when I had 3 guys that could make a tackle, and Brown was one, I would actually turn the other two players away from the receiver so Brown could try and make the tackle and force a fumble. He also blocked 3 punts.

Best player I've ever played against? Wow, that's a tough one. I never knew who they were, but Frank Johnson's backwards-running receivers threw me for a loop in the one epic game he and I had at a Summer Slam about 9 years ago.
Darrian Ross's Ray Lewis figure on his Ravens is another beast. The ultimate middle linebacker in EF that I've ever seen. He can cover 30 yards across the field in any direction in no time, such that you can't really run away from him, or by him.
Also in our BMEFA league, on Adrian Baxter's Cowboys team, he had a #77 figure that really couldn't be blocked, you just had to get somebody open before he ransacked your backfield.
