Seven years into my franchise with the 49ers, I have managed to keep the roster pretty much intact, and because they start off with a bunch of A potential players it wasn't too hard to develop into the best team in the game. Adding a marquee A potential QB and a 99 spd 99 cth WR, a 95 C and it's not too hard to stay at the top, currently I have a 94 OVR off and an 88 DEF.
Anyway, I know I'm supposed to be fairly effective in the offensive department, but using Playmakers sliders, adjusted to make it just a little bit harder, I find myself rushing 6 times for 0 yards, then on the 7th run, break a 40 yarder for a nice 5 yard average.
Now when you look at the stats at the end of the game you'll see Gore with a 25 rush, 135 yard game and it looks like he was effective all game, when realistically it was 3 40 yard rushes and 22 0 and 1 yard gains.
The same goes on the defensive end, when I've shut down a team for several drives, and they go on a 12 play 80 yard drive where the QB who was 6/18 for 83 yards and 3 picks goes 6 for 6 for 62 yards and a perfect TD strike in the corner of the endzone. Again, looking at the stats you'll see a QB who went 12/30 for 145 yards, which is terrible but not telling of the dominance through 3 and a half quarters.
So, once again, is this a game mechanic or am I crazy?

Sounds like the nature of the run game... 2 here, 4 there, sprinkle in a few 3 yard gains, a loss, then BAM... 60 yards to the house. In the end, practically every running game works this way. At the end of the day, you check the stats and can only remember 2 or 3 long gains.
