Ya i am, i wanna make perfectly clear tho! Those are the only 2 that can run on me, and they dont do that every game but they have more than once.

yes i've played many many seasons of franchise. and once in a while some running back will have my number. Jacobs has had over 175 on me a few times, westbrook had a couple good games, and you know what? those were probably my favorite games. too bad they are so few and far between.

If I may ask..... Are you using custom sliders, and do you also (like me) have your Run D slider at least at 19 or 20...?

i use the custom sliders on only Running offense, but running D right now is at a 15 for me.

What do you use for your running offense sliders...?

I'm just curious, cuz I've been doing a lot of experimenting lately.

Yes, the cpu running game is almost always pretty poor and inconsistent. It needs some attention badly.

Although a few times with my run defense set at 20...the cpu shocked me and broke off some big gains. But still too few and far between. Hoping for a much more balanced experience with '10'.

I use a 5, it may sound low but some defenses hold me in check and btw i put my run defense slider to a 19 and held the Eagles to 26 yds on 14 carries and Westbrook to 21 yards on 13 carries.

Agreed.
When it's set at 20, you'll get the occasional big outside run by the cpu. Anything up the middle is pretty much still completely shut down. It's sad.

I was really hoping sliders would fix it more than they do. I'm going to resort back to some experimenting with the "dummy profile method" and see if I crank up the running on the dummy side if that will get some better results.
Last time I tried though, it was annoying because when you turn up the break tackles section of running settings for the dummy profile, it makes everyone break tackles like gods, not just the RB's. WR's will catch a ball and take it to the house way too often because no one will tackle them after the catch.

It's frustrating.
