Can anyone help?

I am playing with the MLB on defense and am having a very difficult time with my player hesitating and getting picked up by an offensive linemen, instead of just hitting the hole and tackling the ball carrier. Is anyone else having this problem and is there anything that can correct this?

Try and take a step or two back from where he's lined up pre-snap. It'll help give you more separation from the line and allow you to shoot those gaps better.

Thanks for the help, i will give that a try.

No problem. It's not a sure-fire method as unfortunately, playing MLB in this game is probably the hardest position on the field because it is tough to just run free. It seems like you do get sucked into the OL/DL scrum and it can be annoying at times. But, it is so rewarding when you do shoot the gap or use a MLB with run-reader and blow up a stretch play with a big hit.
