I have played several seasons of single player in the 2007 version of FOF and the running game still doesn’t feel right to me. I know the endurance/fatigue settings probably come into play more in this version than the previous, but I can’t seem to figure out what I can do to get more consistent numbers rushing for my back.
One thing that stands out to me is that you hardly ever see a game in which backs from both teams rush for 20+ carries (and it seems that it is even rare for any backs to rush 20+ times). This seemed to me to be a fairly common occurrence in the 2004 version. I haven’t really looked back at the past NFL seasons to see how often this happens in real life, so maybe this version mirrors the actual NFL more.
<O:p
If endurance is a key to how many times your back rushes, how high of endurance does your back have to have to average 20+ rushes per game? I had a back that had a 75 endurance rating and still couldn’t seem to get him 300+ attempts in a season (and he didn’t miss any games due to injury).
<O:p
I do notice at the end of the season that the rushing totals for the league look fairly accurate (except for the average yards per carry – they seem a bit low). 1,000 yard rushers look about right and the attempts as a whole don’t look too far off base. I must admit that I favor the running game over the passing game, and maybe I’m looking too hard at this but I was wondering if anyone else had the same feeling. Thanks for any responses.
