Hey everyone. I'm a longtime Madden player and fan, though I admit that I have always been more of an NCAA guy. With the absence of an NCAA game this year, I returned to Madden. I am playing on the PS 4 on All-Pro with no slider adjustments. However, the problem I am having is twofold. One, I can't run to save my life! And please don't just say I suck, because, as I already mentioned, I have been playing both Madden and NCAA for some time and have a decent football IQ. I've tried to run stretch plays, dives, ISO, toss, but none of them have resulted in more than a six yard gain at MAX. Most of the time, I'm getting a yard or rushing for -1 yard. Further, I've tried running out of the shotgun, pistol, power I, traditional I-Form, etc, but have had no success. Needless to say, it is very frustrating.

My second problem is I am absolutely powerless to stop the CPU pass! It seems like no matter what I do I can't force an incompletion. Robo QB is in full effect, and it doesn't seem to matter if it is Peyton Manning or Charlie Whitehurst in the pocket, the QB is going to complete 100 % or, at best, 85 % of his passes! I've been putting pressure, trying to use "ball hawk" (I thought when the ball was at the highest point you just hold triangle, correct?) but nothing works. What's worse is my guys don't even make a play on the ball. I've tried using R1 which is supposed to be swat, but I haven't seen so much as an attempt at a swat.

If anyone could help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, OS'ers!
