Re: The most important 2 sliders.

Now, again, I'm using the Eagles who have a dominant run blocking offensive line (Peters, Mathis, Kelce, Herremans, Johnson), but 250 yards on a regular basis??? WOW!

I've tried a number of slider sets: these, BlueNinja, Armor & Sword, Charter04 and have always put up great rushing stats. Only on a handful of occasions have I been held in check, and when I say held in check, I mean McCoy's hovered at the 100 yard mark. Last season, McCoy broke the 100 yard mark 7 times and the 200 yard mark once (1607 yards on the season) and the Eagles broke the 100 yard mark 13 times and the 200 yard mark 5 times (2566 yards on the season).

I just don't know how much of it is because of my playcalling/user skills, the sliders, the ratings/matchups, and whether it's just how it should be...

Other than lowering the run blocking slider, I don't know what to do, any suggestions?
I would lower it, I have seen Jamaal Charles career average is almost 6 yards a carry, thats about what I get when I factor in the big runs (I might get one maybe every couple games), and my back up has 4.1 yards per carry average, I have a decent offensive line in the game (it's the most important group on the field!) so these seemed right to me. To be honest, I don't pay attention to other teams, I do know Jamaal has an abnormally high yards per carry average and that was my metric, so maybe a lower setting would be right, you maybe have an offensive line with 99 confidence (did you win the superbowl?) or maybe just a great running back. but everyone always feel free to tinker for your game, who knows you maybe are more skilled at the game than me, always a possibility.

jfsolo- I would like to have more completions, but the truth is I suck at throwing the ball, but i run/pass almost complete balance, nearly always very close to 30/30 a game, there are ways to cheese the defense, for example- I run a 5 WR set for 4 straight plays in the no huddle, tire out the Dline, then bring in Charles and run all over, I did this for every run play in one game last season and Charles ran for 240 yards my best total ever in the game. It is still a game and sometimes people memorize it's patterns without realizing what they are doing.
