You are absolutely right, especially about establishing a running game. I was playing all weekend and I couldn't get the ball deep at all until I started to have some success running the ball. I started to notice the safeties creeping up closer and closer the more success I had running the ball and then I took a shot down the field and surprise, no safety and a little seperation from the db and touchdown. This is absolutely the most realistic, and fun football game I have ever played and this coming from a 2k5 fan.
