still cannot get sacks in Madden 20 as a RE career

[Ueauvan]

offline coach player here, Nick Bosa has 1 sack after 13 games. Armstead has 6, MLB/OLBers have more than both. play with multiple fronts, overloads etc. last year he got 10 in his first season as a rookie in my m20 franhcise with lover numbers. my play calling style/playbook hasnt changed for dline.

For some reason in Madden the AI fears a User-controlled rusher more than an AI rusher on the user team. If I want a certain guy to get sacks the best option is usually controlling a different player and hitting a gap on the opposite side of the line as the guy I want to get the sack. So if you're trying to boost the numbers of your RE, I would bring a user-controlled blitz as an LB between the DT & LE. That will shift the AI attention to your side and should free up your RE.

I will say that pass rushing in M21 is lightyears better than M20 so if that's your thing you should definitely try out the new game. It's the most fun I've ever had rushing the QB.

Sadly, I'm doing a player career, so I only control the RE. I will definitely be getting Madden 21 for the pass rushing, despite franchise being the same for the most part. Will probably be in about 2 months. I typically get the new Madden games mid way through the season.
