scoring from 1?

[redsoxallday]

is anyone having trouble scoring inside the 5 yd line? isnt it like this in every Madden?

i just forced a fumble and my LB picked it up and took it to the 5 until being caught up to. so i set up at the 4 and my run is stuffed 4 times in a row and i turn it over at the 1 yrd line?
really?

Yeah, inside the 5 is rough. It's cool though. Being a Bears fan i'm used to being disappointed inside the red zone so i figured it was just the digital Bears imitating the real-life Bears.

There's a goaline play (from Cowboys playbook), can't remember the name of it off the top of my head, it's not a power, but opens to the left (by default) that gets me in every time. I no longer use it as it's pretty much guaranteed.

I either go jumbo or heavy in the goal line formation, the hand it off to my full back. If all else fails, I run a play action pass to my full back in the goal line formation. But I love that the qb sneak and fb dive is easier to stuff this year.

Grab yourself a few Olinemen with 90+ run block strength(the higher the better), a RB with 90+ truck(again the higher the better) and decent acceleration, sub the new linemen on your goal line set for LG,C,RG and sub in your new RB(possibly pick up a FB who can block but at that point it is almost overkill). Then run a goal line dive play. It greatly increases your effectiveness when attempting to get a one yard run.

EDIT
Who would have thought that madden would have realistically added the way to win on the goal line and short yardage runs was to be able to get a bigger push then the other line and have a north/south runner in the back field?

Goal line play action is your friend.

im obsessed with running the ball inside the 10. i want rushing TD after im passed the 10. Plus i always manage to throw picks in the redzone at least once a game

I'm almost perfect once I get inside the 5. I pick HB Sting in the goalline formation (the one where you stuff it up the gut to the left) and if it looks like the outside is more open, I do the formation audible to a run which ends up being Power O I believe, and it's pretty much cake depending on which way the defense plays it.

Run a toss play and sprint to the corner of the end zone.

Almost always works, unless your back is Brandon Jacobs or someone on the slower side like that.

I created a special package with backup o-linemen and a TE as my FB for extra blocking. Gets me in 80% of the time.

I just dive over... its almost money.

Re: scoring from 1?

maybe its because i play with the colts but i've sworn off running the ball on the goal line. 8 times out of 10 someone squeezes through my line and stops me for a loss when i try and rund. doesn't matter if i use the FB or HB.

I usually call a "stick" play out of shotgun and hot route receivers to slants.

I very quickly read the defense at the snap. if its man coverage the slants are usually open if its zone I hit my TE on the stick route. easy money except sometimes the TE gets wacked

inside the 5, initially call a run play, if the computer comes out in goal line, then audible to a shotgun pass (you gotta have one in your pre sets), the computer will change with you, then audible back into the run and you will get the TD. Cheap, but works a high percentage of the time.

It is not easy at all anymore I score in the redzone about 70% of the time I am the Browns.
