Sim Help

So, I've been trying to build a run first, defense heavy team... so far it isn't working. I started with the Vikings so I could have my favorite HB in Peterson. Bridgewater as a Strong Arm QB is an 87 ovr and perfectly fine.

Anyway... even at 30/70 (as in past games), my team only runs 10-15 times a game with Peterson, meanwhile throws for 40+ times. Even if I change the pb to Seattle or another run heavy team, change it back to 50/50, nothing seems to help.

Does anyone have a suggestion to try?

Re: Sim Help

Have you tried a different coaching scheme? Like instead of West Coast offense, using power run?

Yep. I've tried power run, zone run, west coast and balanced offense. I finally got him to 300 attempts last night when I set it to 20/80 and 40 aggressiveness. lol

Bridgewater still threw for 537 attempts, so 33~ per game. But at least he was getting 18-19~ touches...

Try setting the PB to pistol or run balanced and the scheme to run heavy. You don't have to actually use those playbooks, but set them in the scheme page. I think I set Carolina to pistol in a test sim and cam was passing for like 2200 yards and 10 TDs. They were leading the league in rushing, spread out between cam and the backs. FYI - QB will not progress and may slightly regress with these stats.

We must be playing a different madden. There is not a "Run Heavy" Scheme. There is a run heavy playbook, but not scheme. I checked repeatedly in hopes I had just overlooked it. >_> Not funny.

And I've used the run balanced pb quite a few times and the balance between it or the Seattle seems the best choice. I ran a test sim at 20 / 40 and it also seemed to do good in terms or runs. Peterson managed to get up to 330~, Bridgewater was 540~. Guess I'll just have to accept that a true run first team is going to be difficult this year, unless I play a large portion of the games.
