Cpu running game?

[Darth Madden]

How is the cpu running game in this years game? Last year there was a lack of running game from the computer regardless of what you set the sliders to. How is it this year? Are any of you who have the game giving up realistic yards to the computer on the ground?

I thought it was just me. I find it lacking on All Pro this year. I boosted a few sliders, but haven't played a game with them yet to see if they work.

With the default sliders, the CPUs running game is awful. But then again, I'm using the Giants so their run D is really good, but still it shouldn't be this bad. Its also seems that the CPU throws the ball more then they run. But I haven't played a team that has a really good running game yet so that could be why. I think teams that are run heavy in real life, are in Madden as well. Vice versa for the passing game.

Im playing around with the sliders and trying to find a good mix between the CPUs run/pass success. The CPU passing is too good, so i got to take that down a notch. Once i figure out a good setting for the sliders, it will make the game a lot more realistic.

Crap it sounds to me like your discribing last years game. I hope its not like 09 with the robo qb and lack of running game. Just hearing you guys say that makes me want to rent before I buy. Ive bought Madden on the release day every year since 03 and I have owned them all but I dont want to play a dressed up version of Madden 09. Please someone tell me the cpu Vikings just pounded you for 150 yards on the ground and not with 80 of it on 1 play either.
