Many times when you truck w/ a fullback and it's one on one you'll go down but over the tackler gaining an extra yard and a half...so he wraps you up and gets you down, but din't stand you up or anything like that.

Anything like this:

Anybody else having trouble getting certain run plays to be successful at all? Seems like every time I try to run a toss play in general or the draw play from the Shotgun they both get blown up almost every time.

Ur not the only one...In general it feels awkward and sluggish on toss plays and even plays that are designed for anything but the inside. I still havent figured out how best to use run plays that arent up the middle. Up the middle I do fine.

Yes. The first run of the game I had went 35+ yards for a TD, right up the middle. I trucked a defender and got knocked back about 3-4 yards down field, but the OL cleaned up everyone else while I was gaining my balance and then there was no one left. Other than that run, nothing much else though. It is going to take some getting used to where the corner is and the camera. It is killing me on any outside runs, I am not getting up field like I should.

So far the hardest hit I have seen is when I went to throw the ball and somebody hit my qb low and then somebody else came in from the top when he was airborne and slammed him. QB looked like got broken in half on that play.

I've been able to run toss plays pretty well, a few have been blown up but I've also managed a 15 yarder as well.
It does depend what team you are.
