In Madden 2 back systems aren't what they are in the NFL. There are plenty of teams that have two similar backs that keep each other fresh. But because Madden has never had a effective fatigue system there is never a need to take your #1 back out and put your backup in.

The best way to run this system in madden is to make your backs situational. By that I mean instead of getting two all aorund backs get two differing backs and utilize their hightened skills on plays that work to their strengths. For example instead of running a system like they had in the bears SB season (Jones and Benson) with two similar guys run a system like the Titans run. Have a quick elusive back run sweeps, draws, tosses, stretches, screens, swing passes, and misdirections. Have your power/goaline back run dives, slams, power plays, and give him the short yardage stuff. Things like off tackle plays, blasts, outside zone plays, ect can be mixed in with both backs.
