Do you guys not touch sliders? Do you just play AA default? I have a hard time believing the cpu can't mount a decent rushing attack if you've adjusted sliders. I have my break block at 30 on AA with their Run Block at 85 and RB Ability at 90. That worked well for my skills anyways and the cpu can run the ball effectively.

Like I said before, football games are usually too easy to stop the run on default. I can't remember the last time I didn't have to give them a boost unless I was playing on the hardest level (Heisman, All-Madden, Legend etc.).

the problem i saw in '08 after adjusting sliders was that the CPU just didn't want to run. i got their HBs to average 4-5 yards per carry, but they only ran their HB 8-12 times a game. they then try to run their 60 speed QB about 10 times a game and get negative yardage. Navy did get 250+ on me twice though. Their FB was a beast.

however i did change the run/pass ratio in the CPU coaching strategy and it did help some on them running more at least in dynasty mode.

Yes I think the cpu will be able to run the ball. And you could always make the jump to the Heisman level.

Yep, on Heisman with proper sliders I've gotten gouged by Steve Slaton when I was using Marshall and I also got slaughtered by Jamal Charles using Minnesota.

I don't wanna talk about Slaton, White, or any other Moutaineer for that matter.
