RB Ability....

[TheGreat]

I pretty much have my sliders pretty good.
I lost to teams Im supposed to lose to, beat teams Im supposed to beat, and battle it out with teams on the same level as mine.
But I cannot get the running game to work right.
My running game is fine, I cant get the CPU to get over 100yds a game.
But if I boost the RB Ability up, it makes the RBs amazing.
If I make it too low the RBs cant do anything.

I have iRB Ability 40 right now.
And Run Blocking at 70.
Nobody has put up 100yds against my defense yet.
Not even good RBs.

lower AWR, Breaking Block, tack or raise CPU run blocking. gotta pick one (or more) of these things to change then.

The RB Ability slider, IMO, affects several factors for a RB so I wouldn't raise it. I'd lower tackling maybe so that they don't always go down on the first hit.

I think lowering Awareness and Break Block could cause problems in other facets of the game.

I have no problem putting up good numbers against the CPU with a team with a good running game.

Im going to put the CPU RB Ability at 35 and Run Blocking at 85.
Hopefully it will work.

Definitely raise CPU Run Blocking. I have it set on 100 on AA. I keep CPU RB Ability at like 55-60. Anything more and they all become LaDainian Tomlinson.

I think you have to have cpu RBA no lower than 50 on AA. I set them in the 60-65 range along with a boost in the run blocking. Don't be afraid to increase the RBA just as long as you increase your tackle slider accordingly. I want the cpu to be able to outjuke and make some great moves which is why I boost their RBA. I don't want them simply running over and through all of my tackles though. For me, the tackle slider is good at around 10 points lower than the oppositions RBA (maybe 5 points less for those that don't like too many broken tackles). So if you set cpu RBA to 65, you should probably boost your tackle rating to 55. If you set cpu RBA to 35 you should lower your tackle rating to 25 imo.

I personally think you are going about it wrong if you set run block to 85 and RBA to 35. Having really high cpu run block really hurts in short yardage imo. Furthermore, setting cpu rba to 35 could result in many fumbles as well as making every cpu running back feel very average and interchangeable. I'm not sure if you would really notice or be scared by the truly great RBs when playing against them. Besides, you said you had a problem with the cpu NOT running enough so why drop RBA? That doesn't make sense to me.

Im playing on Heisman and the thing is, with the RB Ability where I had it, even the average backs where breaking tackles left and right like a great RB.
I just want to find that perfect number where the average RBs run like average RBs and the great RBs run like great RBs.
Right now there isnt a difference between the two.

Didn't realize you were playing on Heisman. If broken tackles are the problem, just try juicing up your tackle slider then.
