Running
the ball in Madden 10 has always been difficult. Even if you have an
outstanding offensive line and a superb running back, it can still be difficult
to run it frequently. The game is still not at a stage where you pound it 40
times with success, and it may never get to that evolution, especially when
competing against a intelligent adversary and not the computer. There are,
however, a few tips for pounding the rock that you can utilize.
Always
have the talent. If you really want to pound the rock fifteen times a game with
success, you have to at least have a superb offensive line and runners. A
runner who can miss the initial tackle is invaluable to running well with
skill. If you want to run it 5 or so times a game for the occasional ten yard
dash, do not select a club with these things.
Use
a leader blocker. If you utilize a single running back against a jammed front,
you have no possibility of victory. Take advantage of every formation with a FB
and try and sweep to the side with fewer defenders, this is the greatest for
running with skill. Combined with a excellent set of blockers and a good
runner, it is very probably that you can pound it with success.
Utilize
play action. However, make sure you utilize play action that has a fullback
blocking, because the issue with a good amount play action plays is that a
rusher will come untouched and it will result in a giant loss. You have to mix
this in effectively or the defense will be able to radar in on your scheme.
