Does anyone else seem to think that RB in FOF are way too dominant, as to the amount of times that they can effectively run the ball. For instance in MP, if you run a run heavy game plan, you can likely get your back at least 450 carries. 490 carries in a season would be 11th on the all time MP list. In the history of the NFL, the record is only 410 carries. RB can routinely go off for between 40 and 50 carries. Whereas the ALL TIME nfl mark is only 45. I believe i heard a stat the other day that only 3 RB in the history of the nfl had back to back 30 carry games. Well something similar to that.
But with a run heavy game plan and maximization of the starters time on the field, you can do 30 carries a lot of games in a row. I know a lot of it is probably who you multiplay with, and how much they are into "cheese"-ing their gameplans. But it still seems as out of place for it to be in the game, as it does when guys were getting 25 sacks a season from 100% blitzing. In the future, some sort of "banged up" rating, to RB that carries from week to week might not be a bad thing. Not necessarily an injury rating per se, but instead some sort of week to week fatigue meter. I think right now it appears that it simply isnt in the game.
