Not Understanding Bull Rush

[TeamBuilder]

Why is it that every time I attempt to bull rush (down on the right thumbstick) I get pushed down into the ground by the offensive lineman?

Can someone please explain to me how to use this move!

I have that happen a few times, and other times it works to perfection. I usually use it with a DT if I know I have a blitzing LB that can shoot through.

I get the same results on All Madden get pushed down every time I try to bull rush even with CPU pass blocking set to zero. On All Pro I get pass the O-Line just about every time.

Yeah this happens a bunch to me also.
The only time I can get a decent pass rush is if the guy im going against is terrible.

Unfortunately the more I play the more I feel that the DLine play is complete randomness. I use the Bucs and these guys from ALL positions up and down the Dline get in alot - (Which as of now is not consistent with their real life selves!)
On Defense I use the DLine almost exclusively and
I have some success with user-ing (albeit random success) but
I just dont have a definitive answer as to what move works and why and when you can expect it to work - whether its power moves or finesse moves.

For some reason, EA's definition of bull rush is "fall flat on your face".

same but if you hit up on the right stick 1/2 the time you run right over the oline

I've been experiencing this as well!

I stopped playing on All Madden because of the frustration of always being pushed into the ground.

But on All Pro it's almost too easy to get past O-Linemen, and I usually blow out the CPU because of the reduced difficulty level.

And yet, even on All Pro, I can't seem to get Bull Rush to work, and only use Left/Right on the thumbstick to get by linemen.
