Yeah, he said running was consistent and gains could be made. He was just concerned about the seeming lack of big plays in the running game. Hopefully that is due to fairly limited time with the game and more balanced running. Big gains don't happen every game (for most teams) so hopefully it's a challenge to break one, not impossible. We'll have to wait and see.

What up CB!

Even to support Pasta's comment, the vids really don't show any running game what so ever. Have you seen any? When I did see a run it was that god aweful hit from behind and let me carry the defender on my back a few yards animation (they need to get rid of that).

I haven't watched the vids.

It was a limited amount of time with the game, but maybe looking into opening up the run a little more at least in All-Madden. I wasn’t bothered by the production, just that there didn’t seem to be potential for a big play from a run.

Huge red flag here. It says theres a problem with the blocking, dumbing down the HUM players, psychic defense is ineffect, or the dreaded speed cheats. The same old thing.

You've seemed to be able to read an aweful lot into that statement. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't see how an entire list of "cheats" or glitches can be drawn from that satement.
