Re: Running Tips

I've played two games so far and have had different results with the running game. In my first game (Patriots v. Broncos) running the ball felt easy. The second game against the Chiefs, running the ball was almost impossible. I averaged less than 3 yard a carry (under two yards with Ridley). Both of the games were in Play Now and All-Pro difficulty.

Hopefully that means elite defenses will be difficult to play against.

Re: Running Tips

Thanks, been waiting for a thread like this. Ive been having a lot of trouble running, with my backs running into linemen, feeling like im not in total control.
But i wish they would remove the precision modifier from the left trigger and make the left stick push sensitive. Slightly pushing the left thumb stick should=left trigger precision modifier.

Re: Running Tips

Finally!!! lol

I've been having problems running the ball since I got the game and I couldn't figure out why. I defiantly will have to try this out when I get home and see if it works for me.

What camera view do you use?

I use the zoom camera. All pro sliders at default only changing QB accuracy

Re: Running Tips

Kind of a running rated question. How do you give the ball to the running back on a read option? Never used the play in previous versions, but since I have a running QB this year I am. Just can't figure out how to give the RB the ball.

Usually in past editions, you hold 'X' on PS4 to hand the ball off, and if you don't hold 'X' you keep the ball. I'm assuming it's probably 'A' on Xbox.

Re: Running Tips

Yes, this definitely helps. Like most I was having trouble running as well. I was holding sprint to hit the hole faster, only to run into the back of a lineman and fall, or I was unable to make a cut to a hole. I went into practice mode with the Niners against the Seahags. I started using the precision modifier as soon as I got the ball and patiently waited for blocking to develop before making a quick move. Even when getting hit, it seems the precision modifier/right stick combo helps you stay upright sometimes or fight for extra yardage. It was only practice mode, but I gashed the Seahags for 40+ yd gains multiple times. I don't know if this is the case with most teams, but counters work really well w/ the Niners. This was on all pro.

Re: Running Tips

this year running system is amazing, for those who just held sprint button all last year will not work. You have to be patient and use your blockers correctly, this post really helped. I never held LT coming out, I would not use sprint though, I waited for my blockers to set up then I made my moves. Great post

Re: Running Tips

Ive never been one to hold the sprint button on any madden until I was running in the open, but this game feels stiff and robotic no matter defense or offense. It is not fun to play and it does not feel realistic at all IMHO. Even with a player like reggie bush and while holding the PM button, he feels sluggish and slow to respond.

I had everything the OP posted grasped before he posted it. Ive already achieved gold on every challenge and run the gauntlet multiple times. The game just feels unresponsive IMHO. I threw the other FB game in and even and older copy of madden and it felt much more responsive and enjoyable.

You like how players cut on a dime responsiveness? I think those days are over.

You just half to get use to it.

No, thats not what Im saying at all and that is definitely not what I want. I do however want players to move similar to the way their real life counterparts do. The other football game was able to do it, and people couldnt cut on a dime. The NHL demo just came out and that also feels more responsive IMHO and that is full of momentum.

Honestly I can see where you're coming from with the stiff and robotic comments. The animations can certainly be smoothed out and added onto but I whole heartedly disagree that the game isn't fun. I think this is the best Madden I've played since 05 and this is the first Madden that feels as dynamic as 2k5 once did.

Just being able to weave in and out of traffic with jukes and cuts is a breath of fresh air that you couldn't always do in past games.
