Ahhhhh... You got me there...

BUT

Those defenses were filled with future HOF players. But I can take lets say a weak defense like Jacksonville (I don't know there rating Im assuming they have a weak defense correct me if I'm wrong) But I can play with their defense run cover 4 and stop the run almost every time it pushes to the outside. And hot route the 4 DL's to smash any run to the inside.

In my opinion, I think the running game was perfect before the tuner. It should have ben left alone.

Re: Three Tips to Stop the Run in Madden NFL 17

Playing as the Cowboys in my franchise, I defeated both player ratings and released Rolando McClain and Randy Gregory. Needless to say, I am just a tad short-handed. Anyway, I've found that pinching my line in helps keep my quick linebackers free to get to the ball carrier. I only do this against certain formations. Also, I like to slant/crash my line in so I can penetrate (1-gap) against nickel looks. Cover 3 seems to help as well, as it brings SS Church down in the box. I have better luck with that than Cover 4, but that's my just my experience. I didn't think the tuner would affect offline play, but since installing, stopping the run on All Pro hasn't been much of an issue.

Re: Three Tips to Stop the Run in Madden NFL 17

My main run defense is the 3-4 Bear, I have yet to give up a 100 yard rusher in my online CFM (All Pro) and we're in week 12. Nickel 335 and Double A-Gap are good run D's as well. I do a lot of run blitzing and blitzing in general. I run a 3-4 D, and I have a t least 5 or 6 rushers about 65% of the time. I also blitz my CB's a lot, which stops outside runs in their tracks, if the run is towards the blitzer. I have Leonard Williams, Anthony Barr, Daniell Hunter, Stephen Paea, Phill Taylor, Deion Jones, and Jatavis Brown on my front 7, fantasy CFM by the way. I user Jatavis, who I have 11 user picks with, as of week 12. Still trying to get better at usering the run, probably the 1 weak spot of my run D is my usering it, great at usering the pass though.

Re: Three Tips to Stop the Run in Madden NFL 17

Once I started pinching the D-Line and spreading my LBs, my mlb(Mike backer) started going tackle crazy. And it's Will Compton!
17 total tackles in game vs Steelers
12 total in game 2 vs Cowboys.
I posted about this a few days ago in my Slider thread lol.
Good info for guys that still play online and offline the old way.
