How to Form a Great Running Attack

Alright here are just a few tips.

1. Find a couple formations you like to run out of. Personally i like the I-Form and Full house.

2. Chose a team with a good back, either speedy, elusive, power, or just all around back. Watch the work of adrian peterson. Me against the raiders, all AP. http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/5415816

3. Learn to have good vision, if you start to run more and more you will get better. There is almost always a cut back lane. Dont try and run backwards it doesnt work lol. Check out the vision. Sometimes you need to be patient, and learn to follow your blocks. http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/5415401

4. Use the PA pass to your advantage. Keep your opponent guessing. Ask anyone if you played me for the first time i would be hard to stop. But i am predictable after the first time playing me but im trying to be less predictable lol. Check out this PA pass, and it would be an advantage to know how to RC. http://www.easportsworld.com/en_US/video/5415633

5. You need a good offensive line, without one you wont do very well.

6. When you run each play, try too look for a weakness in the D, if you run to the outside and notice a huge hole in the middle run up the middle the next play. DONT BE AFRAID TO USE THE HURRY UP OFFENSE.

7. Lastly have a good passing game, or a few cheap plays such as screens, or RCs.

Hope you all enjoy this guide, and the videos.


**EDIT** Alright when I play my fingers automatically no what special move to use.If a guys coming at me at an angle in front of me and im on the side line, I spin to the inside. When im going through the middle just look for daylight and when you get stuck , highlight stick like hell. I use turbo when Im finding daylight, use your blockers to your advantage by moving where you need him to go. Your blocker will follow you until a stray deffender comes in. If your 1 on 1 and your an elusive or speed back highlight stick is your best option. I stiff arm when a guy is coming at me on the side. Always remember to try and break out of tackles after the hit, if you need an extra yard highlight stick forward to break the tackle or at least gain the yard. Always be on the lookout for daylight.

Also guys, i have never had a problem with turbo. I don't know why but, by holding turbo it helps me because I think I see holes and openenings because i run so much. But vision is the key to anyrunning game , if you have the vision, your always a threat to break a big one.

how/when do you use turbo?

and how/when do you use the different special moves?

oh god this is my topic i could speak on some things

yet you didnt.

.... waits.

this is a good post, and i love the highlights to go with it. that first one was crazy by the way(one of the best runs ive ever seen)

Thank you tuki, it was the weirdest run i've ever controlled ha ha, i just say there highlight sticked, stiff armed, and spun to daylight.

great tips

Any advice for a Giant user?

When im dedicated to the run, i can get 100 yards per game. Im good with getting the extra yards at the end of the play consistantly(not just with jacobs, anyone can do that) and im fairly good at following the blockers. My biggest problem is running out passing formations, mainly out of shotgun. i feel as though BJ just takes too long to get through the hole...

What moves do you recommend wit BJ? Is spinning ever possible? i try it rarely, despite it being probably the most effective move. He fumbles sometimes so i stoped. He normally doesnt fumble when doing mostly trucks and jukes.

Also, is it really worth it using bradshaw in the run game in stead of ward? his speed is 1 better and acc is like 5 better, but most other things are lower. I normally do, and reserve Ward for 3rd downs only.



and lastly, whats a good formation for a screen, other than FL Screen and the Full house one. i normally use STL pb, i dont have full house nd i need more than just the FL screen.

Well man, BJ is the best trucker in the game so let him do what he does, TRUCK! Let him truck use your highlight stick more than anything. Mix that up with a good stiff arm. That combination will make BJ a beast. I also reccomend running up the middle a lot. He can gain anywhere from 3-10 yds every play. You might be able to throw in a few stretch plays and break a 20 yarder or longer. Dont try to spin with BJ hes not meant for that he will fumble over and over. If your running out of pass formations, just do this. Pass when your opponent isnt expecting it. Go into a blocker heavy formation and do a PA or just a drop back. I suggest you learn to RC if you havent all ready. If you need help with that ill lab with you whenever. Plax can RC very well. Youll need him if your in 3rd and long. I think bradshaw is better than ward. I like ward in as a pass catching guy, for screens and flat routes. But if you need to get around the corner put in bradshaw the acc will get you around the corner. He will get to the whole on the edge that split second faster. If you need any more advice im the guy to ask i hope this benifits you.

I hope this can help you all
