It works wonders. If the DT penetrates the line at all, he is kicked out by the backside pulling guard and I easily shoot up the middle for at least a few yards. This years game is the first Madden I've seen where this play is blocked correctly.

I play on all pro also and I have my run blocking at 0. An still get good running stats with the better running backs. Just be patient and follow your blocks, if you see a defender jump a gap then try hit another one. No turbo all L-stick control up, left, and right to guide you through the hole and fight for extra yards after contact. Also the pass reaction slider does affect running. The lower it is the harder it is for the defenders to get off their blocks.

Getting those 6-7 yard carries through giant holes is easy enough. But is anyone busting out for 30 yard carries every now and then? I definitely dont see that.

I have a created player who's rated 73 overall. I can get 2-4 yards per run. Sometimes I get stuffed for a loss, other times I break through.

Prior to the tuner, I would hit sprint when I was just hitting the hole. Now, that seems to work less (someone mentioned you get sucked to tackles more which seems accurate). I only sprint now if I have even more daylight. I usually protect ball to bang out a few extra yards. I find for a lower rated rookie that it is pretty fair.

It also could be a placebo effect, but playcalling seems more important. When I mix in play action, my entire offense seems to benefit against the CPU. Mask your runs with the same formation with PA. I'm starting to catch more passes as well.

OP, if you're having an awfully hard time running the ball, go to practice mode and run the ball out of some running formations against sub packages.

This will make it easier for your run game and build your confidence up, before practicing against base formations.

If you are playing on all pro and with run blocking at 0 you are amazly good at this game.

I was having trouble and someone mentioned don't touch any button or the sticks for about 1/2 a second. Let the cpu control your RB during that 1/2 second. Then take over and make your move. Sometimes I hit tubo, sometimes juke or spin. I was playing with the Browns against the Steelers and was doing ok for the first 3 quarters. I kept at it and in the 4th I sprung a 30 yard TD with Tate. Steelers are hard to run against and I ended up with just under a 100 yards with Tate....can't complain about that.

I'm on All-Madden using Charter's sliders; 752 Rushing Yards through 3 games.

I'm using the Eagles, LeSean McCoy. I use the Eagles playbook, run a lot of Traps up the middle, and read options. McCoy gets about 25 touches a game, my backup probably gets 10 or so. Its all in the play, not the sticks. The Trap Plays will almost always give you 3 yards until first contact, then make the LB miss with a Juke, and you'll get at least 6 yards a carry on traps. Read Options sometimes they'll go after the QB, and miss. Triple Option, always works, either your RB up the middle, or your QB down field, pitching to 2nd RB works for about 10 yards. Of course regular runs work too, especially behind a line of nothing but 90+ run blockers, but you need to get a many LBs out of the box as possible. I run a lot of shotgun in that playbook, so they have to come out in Nickel or Dime, just for LeSean to go right up the gut. (5 blockers, 4 DL, a LB in dime) I win the battle 5 on 6 with LeSean going up the middle, first contact being a safety 10 yards away from the LOS. Its math, count your blockers, vs their defense, if they win, they'll win. If not they wont.

I stay north and south, maybe for your running style you should look to acquire Legarrette Blount, he is a North and South runner, that will fall forward for extra yards. Since you have McCoy you will have to be an advanced running, watching for blocker downfield, using vision to Juke and Spin when necessary. He won't break many tackles in Madden, go after Blount and just run right up the gut, he'll get 3 yards a pop if you don't get hit in the backfield.

I have two CFM. One is a fantasy team with LeSean McCoy. The other I'm the 'Skins with Alfred Morris.

I get 150-200 rushing yards a game with LM on 20 carries
I get 60 rushing yards with AM on 30 carries.

Speed kills.
