I need help running the ball.

[2Nyce]

Guys...I have no clue if me picking Roger Craig has to do with anything, but I suck at the run.

I can pass well and do everything, but I just suck at the run.

Tips will be appreciated!

Haven't played it yet (come on 9 pm so I can go home), but if it's like 2k5 at all my advice is to slow down. By that I mean don't immediately start pounding the sprint button, wait for the blocks to play out and the hole to open, then hit the hole hard. And follow the play design unless the d does something that obviously opens up something else.

That was the biggest adjustment for me in 2k5 from madden where you basically just pick the fastest guy and run full speed around the end. You did that in 2k5 you got you're ***** handed to you.

I agree, I can't run that good at all.. and i'm using Barry Sanders

I got barry also, and i have the same delima. i will start off with runs like 2 yds., 4yds., -1yd., and then all of a sudden:eek: ... BAM!!! 40 yds. then the next handoff... 3yds.:rolleyes:

You can't run that WELL, and slow down. Wait for your blocks. hit the hole.

Go into practice mode, and repeat in your head over and over, I will get more yards if I'm patient. Don't be afraid that more guys are getting close, just go slow and work with it.

well... actually, that's a lot of how Barry ran in real life thinking about it... he would have a bunch of mediocre runs but would always be a threat to break off a huge run

man,


Chuck muncie runs like a champ, I told you craig was a goat!! Good for passing not for power rushing.

This is gonna take some getting use to. I keep reaching for the D-pad to move my players.

[JimiTH1RTE3N]

As stated earlier, this is alot like how Barry was in real life. If the programmers were able to design him (and this game) so that APF Barry is so much like real Barry, I'm in awe!

[Prince_RIP4eVa]

well, I fixed my running problem, while continuing my great D and good passing game.

Won 2nd game 33-13

[APFThurmanAndre]

Im amazing with Thurman Thomas....have played 2Nyce before....beat him twice....YAY lol.
I suck at passing though....

[Prince_RIP4eVa]

^^ what is 2nyce's GT again?

[elMike]

I killed with Emmitt Smith, only one bronze lineman too. Busted off an 80 yard run and got the Stride achievement.

I can't do anything with Barry Sanders, but I suck with the more finesse back in general. Terrible with LT and Reggie Bush in Madden.

Anyone else think they kind of downgraded the effectiveness of the shoulder charge?

[DerrekLeeForPresident]

i'm tearing it up with payton. one ol (bronze) and on all-pro, i've been getting a lot of 10 power iso's, then breaking off like a thirty yard run. i've been stopped for like 2 or 3 yards at times, but in my second game i had 23 rushes for 167 yards and 2 tds

[sleepyjay]

mman my bronze running back is good at goal line carrys and it shows he can break off 9 yard goaline carry for a touchdown

[Nutsacjac]

Use offensive lineman as your legends. Make your O-Line run block. I haven't encountered any issues running the ball yet(I shouldn't, I spent half my legends quota on my run game. Gold RB, Gold T, Bronze T, Bronze G and Bronze C.)
