Lamar Jackson: 13 Yards Rushing on Season

[ClutchFrame47]

So I played a full 16 game schedule (user only as the Eagles) and the season ended with Lamar Jackson having 13 yards rushing on 4 attempts. No user games against the Ravens. It seems as though the current version, at least in the simulated games in my franchise, does not recognize running quarterbacks or even offensive schemes that feature quarterback running schemes. Not to mention the lack of scramble yards included. Carson Wentz (user controlled only), led the league in QB rushing yards and attempts with 45 for 317 yds. The second best rushing QB was Russell Wilson with 16 attempts for 61 yds. Cam Newton had 23 att for 60 yds. League quarterbacks combined for 24 rushing TDs.

For reference, in the real-life 2018 NFL, 16 QB's had more than 40 attempts rushing. 9 had more than 300 yards. QB's ran for 68 TDs.

I guess my main question/point is, has anyone else noticed this trend? And if so, lets hope EA comes out with a fix quick because it'd be disappointing for a stats-loving guy like me to grind through a franchise and see Jackson or Wilson or Newton have just random massive dropoffs in rushing production.

Seems to be a big issue the last few years now. Next year they need to focus alot of attention on the QBs and all aspects of it

Seems like an issue that should've been fixed a long time ago, but of course that's the narrative for many aspects of the gameplay. Let's hope they eventually realize the sim experience is just as important.

They acknowledge the issue, but yet to have any fix to the problem. It’s very disappointing

They already confirmed a fix is being worked on

Given that Mahomes is the cover athlete, the emphasis on dual-threat with the addition of ROPs, and X-Factors, you would have thought that they would have finally fixed this legacy issue.

Their sales have allegedly been through the roof. They can already look at this game as a success and move on to 2021 if they wanted. Consumers are doing this to themselves.

But yes, a fix is supposed to be in the works.

Well I suppose as one of those consumers I should blame myself for fueling the cycle of negligence for another year in a row. I will add that in-game, scrambling QB's have not been half bad but it's very disappointing to see such a gap between reality and the sim experience.
