It's me or its too easy to run after patch?

[booker21]

Anyone else sees this is it was just lucky games? i feel i can rush over 100yds every game now. This was not the case before patch.

With the new OL addition and run blocking changes this would make sense, i mean to see differences on the rushing game.

Yes, I had to stop playing on All-Pro, challenge was gone and no fun then went up to All-Madden and will report back, haven't played a full game on all madden yet.

I don't think anything change with running after the patch.

The running game seems the same to me at least on all Madden anyway.

Is there any chance that you are starting to "get it" when it comes to running the ball?


What is it that seems easier? Better blocking? Broken tackles? Poor pursuit?


Running in Madden used to be a nightmare before 2011. Since then, schemes have been better coded into the game.


Be it real life of a video game, running is as easy as how well your blockers execute the play design, you runner having the vision to hit the hole and make people miss, and how well the defense fills gaps and tackles.


I do not play the current Madden, but I normally have to play on All-Madden with 0 user run blocking, 80+ speed threshold so that LBs are not burnt by backs to the sideline, and even then I can typically run all over the AI and human opponents.


Count the box, run to where you have the advantage, read the blocks and hit hat hole. Some plays will get blown up, some will spring you, but most will get you 3-6 yards if you execute properly and are running between the tackles/guards.

On default All-Pro, I regularly get over 300 rushing yards/game. I end up getting 2-4 75+ yard carries a game after a coffin corner punt or touch back.

Re: It's me or its too easy to run after patch?

It does seem easier, but not to where I can control the game with the run. I'm averaging about .7 ypc more, but still have some bad games and the cpu can blow up any given play.

The tosses seem nerfed, though. It seems the end defender on the line where the play is going always blows through immediately and is in the backs face as soon as he gets the toss. Also they appear to shift the camera so you can't see the defense on the toss side initially.

To me, the running game was kinda tough. I had to up the HUM run blocking because almost every rush was caught in the backfield. With Bell and Ty, I’d average less than 2yds per rush. Very frustrating. Now that I’ve settled in, I can have one game running for 60 yds and the next 160. I like the inconsistency but Bell is now hurt (figures) so I’m throwing the ball a bit more now.

all pro coach mode if i leave mixon 94 in my cfm with a solid oline, extra oline for te and best fb the edges get through in the backfield. default sliders except exps. doesnt matter whether the front 7 are 90s or 70s the run game without input is rubbish and is harder since the 1.11 patch imo. i can manually override to get yards or pick plays repeatedly but thats no fun as a coach. i even did 7 oline with best run blockers, still hit behind the line by insipid defenders

Re: It's me or its too easy to run after patch?

It seems easier since the patch to me. Holes are there now that weren't before. I'm still getting stuffed quite a bit but also breaking some long runs I wasn't before.

Pre patch... 3YPC average

After patch... 5YPC average.

Before every run play I switch the blocking to aggressive, it does wonders. Just change it back to normal once you are passing the ball.
