Difficulty running out of spread

[B Edwards 17]

I like to play as Michigan, but I can't get any run game going at all.

But then I'll play as a pro style team like Arkansas, and I can run the ball easily.

Anyone else having difficulty running out of the spread?

Im having the same issue.... when do just a simple read option or speed option, the QB moves like he has all the time in the world but when I do a pass option play he moves like twice as fast. It makes no sense.

i see two major problems in the running game out of the spread.

#1- the human offensive line will not block the mike LB in any zone scheme

#2- perimeter blocking is nonexistent because CB's and OLBs react instantly to the run screaming off the edge completely untouched nearly every single play.

i have a good amount of success running the zone read out of shotgun ace but nearly every zone read out of 10 personnel is a blow-up in the backfield.

Was noticing the same thing. Demps sure is sucking in my UF dynasty because 1. there aren't many varied running plays and 2. its harder to run from spread than from a traditional offense.

Yeah I've been having big problems running the read option in particular. I thought there was some new "assignment blocking" tech in this game? When running the read option in practice mode, I was seeing instances where my RT and RG would double the left DT, leaving the LDE unblocked (say what?) and my LG and C double-teaming the right DT, leaving a LB unblocked - at the same time mind, you.

I'm sure I just need to practice more, but five blockers against five defenders, and two are going unblocked?

I am having a hard time running the ball as well.. I have to switch to Ace or I-formation to get any kind of consistent running game out of Auburn.

If I try running in shotgun.. Probably 75% of the plays are for no gain or minimum gain. A lot of times, for loss. I am trying to be accurate with running this offense, but its hard when the defense is in your face every single play.

I can throw the ball just fine.. no problem there.

I'm hoping they will use a tuner to alter how fast corners decipher whether it's a run or pass play. They know FAR too fast on play action.

They need to do something. It is ridiculous. It is like they don't seem to test some things before they ship. They probably were just throwing the ball 95% of the time out of the spread.. err
