Holy frick I need help!

Been playing the game constantly for awhile and I'm starting to get really frustrated. Now, granted, I play as the Saints so I'm already at a disadvantage, but how the frick do you run the ball?! Occasionally I'll bust off a 9 or 11 yarder, but if I can make it within 2 yards of the line of scrimmage, either side, I have to consider it a success. I follow my blockers (who usually ignore the first guy in front of them), I lay off turbo, I try aggressive blocking. Nothing. Even my OL stars Jammal Brown and Jahri Evans act like turnstiles at the line and let people right on through. Even my passing is suffering because Brees has pressure right from the get-go. Any advise would be much appreciated.

Re: Holy frick I need help!

on slow mode you have to have the CPU run sliders way down because it takes you so much longer to get through the hole. I had middle range run sliders on slow and found the same thing. I kept the run sliders there and switched to fast mode and wow the run game was so much better. Still kept it to anywhere from 2-6 yard gains but then I'd have those few big runs a game when a play call was right on against a type of d or I broke a tackle or 2.

I have the same issue, I guess I should adjust the sliders?

Put it on slow. Have the threshold at 40. Have the human run block sliders at 100, and have the cpu block shed at 30, and its reaction time at 85. You'll be able to run. Do the same thing vice-versa so that the cpu can run too.

And be patient when searching for holes.

Re: Holy frick I need help!

Don't run with Reggie. I have success with PT, but I set it up with the pass. I run out of the Shotgun a good bit. The Saints are not a running team and you have to accept that. They are a quick pass type of team. My best advice is to come out throwing then run as a change of pace.

On a side note, in my franchise Bush got hurt in the second game and is out for 12 weeks. Now my offense runs better w/o him.
