I'm sorry I have to say something about the running game as well. I see them missing blocks on the regular and I've tried everything that you can think of to try and run the ball but nothing works on a consistent basis. I have had okay success with learning how set up my blocks better and then boucing the ball out. I run plays that go off tackle where I can make a decision on inside or outside depending on the defense and my blockers making blocks. I really haven't had a problem running on other people it's pretty much just against the computer. I tend to beable to set people up better with play action and by running on passing downs. Also before I go don't forget to take advantage of your momentum, meaning if you running back just had a run for over five yards or a good catch keep using him you can get him hot and than he will start breaking more tackles on his on. It's the same way with receivers in the passing game, if your player just made a good play keep going to him nomatter who it is. I say that cause it might not be your favorite player but if he made the play keep hitting him and you will see results for sure. It has always been like that in the game but I don't think alot of people know it. Well I hope this can help some of you get more enjoyment out of you Madden. My record ain't great and I'm not a guru or anything but I experiment alot during game play just to see how people respond so I can get better. I guess alcohol plays it's part with my record too, lol. Check me out later in September.
