If editing every RB in the game increases your enjoyment of it ... more power to you.
I'll just point out that on All-Pro, I haven't had the problems everyone else is seeing. When I allow those big runs, it's usually because I'm blitzing strong and the run is weak (or vice versa), or that I'm simply making poor tackles. Instead of editing stats, I just try to call conservatively (often zone coverage with LBs wide) and tackle better (stop diving for tackles, square up, and hold the tackle button until the tackle is broken or the guy is down).
To stop a back like Ricky, you have to work your a$$ off, as every snap is a potential TD. By if you scheme effectively, tackle well, and get some luck - even Ricky can be held.

Personally I'm not that great a switching and tackling. I generally play with a safety in order to better control the run. This thing with the adjusting of the running backs for me is just a phase. Anyone who knows me as supersigma2of21 from MaddenMania knows how I am. For instance I will start with sliders then the next thing you know you will ask me about them and I will be back on the defaults. So I will try this adjusting of running backs probably with just ricky and play a few exhibition games but I will, inevitably be back on the default ratings. LOL
The guys in the slider thread know this already. I made sliders that I enjoyed but ended up back on the defaults. I guess I am still from the school that thinks that adjusting sliders is cheating.

I think you make a strong point so since there are so many people with different sliders they are just moving them around to accomodate there needs to make the game play realistic, which is fine but. The default settings are the way to go and just learn and get better at what you suck at. There is much more satisfaction in that than taking the easy way out and adjusting a slider. In the old school games there were no sliders. So enjoy the new generation of games but do it the old school way...the hard way, just like they do in sports in real life.
