Start a Franchise and simulate the first week of the season. Now go to League Schedule and check out the scores of the week you just simulated. Go to Player Stats, you will notice that in most games there are not rushing touchdowns by anybody.
Now go to scoring summary screen, notice how almost every touchdown is 1-10 PASS. This means that Teams don't run the ball inside the 10 yard line, never. Which leads to the few amounts of Rushing TDs and inflated Passing TDs.
As of right now, this is impossible to fix, but there is a way to reduce the amounts of TDs, which is to controlled all teams and set the coaching schemes for all teams to defend the pass 100% of time. This reduces the amounts of TDs and lowers the points scored over a season by a team, sadly it doesn't increases the rushing TD's like you would think since teams are always defending the pass.
That's if you want to start a Franchise right now, in my case, I will wait for patch 2 and hopefully they have fix this issue, I know Donny showed some pics of the new sim stats engine but I hope its not a band aid for a bigger problem which is teams don't run inside the 10.
I did even more testing, I change all teams sliders to this
Run vs Pass: 0
Aggressiveness: 100
And not even with these settings they ran the ball inside the 10.
Most of the running TD's are big plays that is why only great players like A. Peterson and M. Turner archive 10+ TDs over a season.
I did even more testing, and it is not good. I went to see if this was a Sim Stat problem only. It is not. I started a practice between the Falcons(AI) and Colts(me) and place the ball at the 1 yard line and choose Random in the play selection menu. I let the CPU run plays for 4 mintunes, during this time the Falcons ran the ball 8 times with turner. 8 times out of like 50 plays!!! 90 % of the plays were play action passes to the TE or FB and 8 % were standard passes and the other 2% were runs.
Ian, Donny, please check this out, this could be a little fix instead of what changing things that could affect other aspects of the game.
