Re: Running Game
Sounds like you guys need to play Heisman default. My issues with the running game is the offensive line doesn't carry out their responsibilities like they should. Most of the run plays use zone blocking schemes. Since that's the case what the linemen should do is combo the first level defenders and work their way to the second level (linebackers). This rarely happens. The offensive line will combo the first level, but they usually leave the second level unblocked. Human players can simply control a second level defender and shoot the gaps on run plays and blow them up in the backfield. That's very annoying and happens online quite a bit against the top players. Also the blocking logic on plays that call for the linemen to pull isn't quite right. On the counter plays when the backside guard pulls, the center should block down on the defender in the gap where the guard left. The playside tackle and guard should combo the defensive tackle and work to the middle linebacker. The tightend should take the playside backer and leave the defensive end unblocked. The backside guard who is pulling trap blocks the defensive end and the ball carrier runs inside of that block. In NCAA it's not like that at all which renders these plays useless, at least on the Heisman default level.
