Am I the only one who can't run the ball ???

I haven't been having any trouble rushing at all really. Using Middle Tennessee State on Default All-American I had 94 yds rushing against Marshall and went off for 232 against North Texas and then back down to 118 against Cincinatti - all home wins BTW.

It depends on how they are lined up. If you sweep right and the defense is lined up with the DE outside the RT, Slide Right, If he's inside, slide left and seal him off.

Also look for cutback lanes or bouncing it outside (on inside runs). Slide protection can help in certain situations too. All of this has drastically improved my running game.

This is the best tip of all. Layoff the speed burst until you are in the clear and follow the blockers.

If all else fails lower the CPU tackling slider. I would say increase the RBA slider but, we all know now that that will also increase the CPU RB.

One last thing, don't be afraid to flip the direction of the play at the line with the RS.

If there are never any holes look at the break block slider because, with Georgia you should be able to run the ball with Moreno.

When i first got the game i had a problem running. but now im pretty good; my stats arent impressive because i dont run the ball that much with the running backs on the team i play with (Florida). But when i do they get a good 4-5 yards per carry.

Yeah, I'm not happy with how I'm doing running the ball either. According to EA Sports World, I'm averaging 65.7 rush yards a game through 10 games. I need to do better, although the last game I played my running back had a 4.5 ypc average with 20 carries, so that's not bad.

I cant run, or pass. every other pass is a int. I am going to try some of the sliders and see if it helps. I am Nevada and my first two games were tough but I have tried to play UNLV and I have like 4 int in the first half. Its stupid picks like the MLB jumping 6 ft in the air to get one and tiped balls being caught by the D.

the problem i have with running is that people online clog the box with 7 or 8....even on 3 or 4 wide
then they cover the whole field with their3-4/4-3 zones and theres no where to run. i ONLY platy online. offline is 1990's

im 10-2 now (SIM BALL BABY......THE U) but my running isnt conistent.
i have cooper as my rb and YES hes super fast, but he wont break a tackle. i use james more for my rb so i can fall forward for 2-3 more yards.

i also started NOT holding the sprint button so i can see the holes or cut back easier.

my passing is on point though, unless i play georgia or ohio state where every pass the cb makes some incredible animation for an INT.

overall i like that i cant run consistently for 8-9 yards per carry. im into punting and 3rd and longs. i love the chess match.

remember, this isnt how madden will play. so i dont mind.
i also try to use a "pro style scheme" on offense so when madden comes out i wont complain that nothing from college works.

if anyone is looking for a game vs the SIM GOD, holla. i only run with my canes.....and yes i live in miami.
