Running game or lack there of

[theanalogkid]

1. The on-field game play is not just a visual representation of some behind the curtain caculation. This has been said by the developers that it's done in real time, the supersim relys on caculations

2. There is something wrong with the running game, no RB would ever decide to run into a defender when there is an open running lane directly infront of him.

3. LB in this game are all on steroids and should all be suspended. They get into the backfield untouched way too much, that doesn't happen like that in real life.

4. WRs in this game, can't hold a block. Yes, there are crappy run blocking WRs in the NFL, but they at least try and run block. In this game, they either hold a block and then the defender automatically sheds it when the RB is near them, they just move right past the defender, or they pick the wrong defender to block.

It does still need to be tuned, and if it's not going to be fixed this year, it needs to be a main area of focus next year. I'll trade in robo QB for a decent running game.

I found that my run game was much better in supersim than playing. That being said, with supersim+darren mcfadden+91RBL line ~170 yards a game on 30 carries. Oddly he never breaks runs.

In the playing mode I could only get consistently good performance with user created plays tailored to my team's strengths (3 extra runblocking specialist OL instead of TEs or WR, swap in by runblocking FB, pick an outside running play for my speed RB, and arrange everyone smartly on the side so the timing works out...).
With a set of these plays, and careful situational run play calling, I manage 5 yards per carry consistently.

Still he makes stupid cuts, runs away from daylight...

Oddly, GB in my franchise runs 91% of the time and are very successful with Ryan Grant and a running QB. I have a heck of a time stopping them, even when fully game planning against the run.

that is also something i noticed that if you create your own run plays they have a tendency to work better. an unlearned or learned run play would gain more positive yardage but after that if you try to run it again you are shut down.

Try putting your RBA at 45/45. It will help with the crazy cuts. Remember in NCAA 09, the RB would juke like crazy but when you toned the the slider he was a lot better.

sliders don't work. i have played on all levels and the sliders are non existant.

I am not so sure. I am seeing differences utilizing the sliders. The 500+ yd passing games, 32 yd running games (on 30 carries) were bugging the Hell out of me, now they are gone..... consistently gone.
