Plenty of sacks for me. Don't have an issue.

How many games have you played, and what is the average number of sacks per game?

Re: Not being able to get sacks is a game killer!!

Just got 3 sacks in one quarter with Javon Kearse in the Titans-Chargers 'Madden Moments' scenario.

Rushing from the edge, I was able to beat the Chargers' right tackle twice. On the other sack, the tackle tried to block me from the outside and I just rushed back inside through the gap between him and the guard.

Using speed rushers like Tuck and Kearse is the best way to accumulate sacks.

You are right, though, that is very difficult to get to the QB if you try and engage the o-line straight up. Neither the swim move nor the bull rush is very effective this year, so you'll usually get manhandled and/or pancaked if you play as a DT or otherwise allow yourself to get blocked.

The opportunity for sacks and pressure is there, maybe not as much as some would like to see, but i dont expect 5-6 sacks a game. If i get 2 a game, im pretty dang happy

The pass rush in Madden is perfectly fine. Love this game.
