Help! Tips needed.

I really struggle with the Run game for some reason. I have played madden since 03 and its always been my favorite thing about madden. Now I'm solely dependent on Passing and it really hurts my game because my friends realize I'm not strong at running the ball anymore so they pick defenses to just stop that.. I tried using juke moves, spins, and truck stick and Im just not getting anywhere. I use the Steelers Playbook since thats my normal team I use, But im used to the old regular I form plays. Im really comfortable with the passing plays so I dont really want to change playbooks. I use HB pitch, and counters the most and I end of up just getting stuffed. I need some consistent tempo so any help on improving my running game would be helpful THANKS!

be careful about using the turbo. using it right away can make you outrun your blockers, so you will get stuffed. let the blockers do their job, and only turbo when you see a hole in the line.

Inside and outside runs should be you foundation for running plays. Counters and HB pitches are usually high risk/high reward and only be used in moderation. Make sure you are adjusting your Offensive line accordingly (Aggressive for running up the middle, Left or Right depending which way you are planning on running).

Half the game is reading the defense, if you know where the defenders on the field are and have an idea of where you think they might be going you will be much better off.... Audibles are your friend.

Thanks guys these are very helpful. what plays do you suggest? I really dont like the i form formation in the steelers playbook. I normally run out of the singleback because I get some success. Im talking like 20 yards a game is a good day.. Its really hard for me to do well. I took the madden test and scored really high on running and I cant do s***... but ill try what you guys said thanks! and i like your sig and avy Dizzle im a PA guy too!

Thanks, heres a quick basic play:

Singleback Bunch

1. Slide Protection [Move the O-Line to the Right] (LT + Right)
2. If you have a quick enough RB you can usually burn the LBs just by running further to the outside.

You can also easily flip this play, but be sure to move your slide protection.

i would use motion, i have been usin motion lately and pre snap reads like dizzle said, and have been able to get 100 games.. also use alot of play action too... keepin D honest is important

thanks for the tips guys
