Madden 16 Running game

[Rysumm]

So I've never had a real problem running the ball in previous Maddens but this year seems to be weird. Here's a quote from another user from another forum and I agree with their statement.


"I haven't played madden in the last 2 years, but, while running the ball, one of the most crucial moves were sharp cuts/jukes to hit a hole that pops open in the line. Just playing around w/ this game for a sec, when you use the R Stick to cut left/right, can anyone do a sharp juke/cut? They all seem pretty subtle and don't cover much ground...or I may be doing it wrong w/ DeMarco.."


So as you can see I'm not the only one struggling with this. It feels like I have no control over the runner at times. Especially when a defender gets close and I need to make a sharp juke.


Really just feels like running is nurfed this year. And I notice most people pass over run as well no longer do I see players running more than passing. I can understand why, it's not very effective.


Anyway any advice on how to master the running game would be great.

I'm not great with the sticks but the juke is somewhat subtle but can get it to work sometimes but you can't speed burst through the line too quick,RT on Xbox and if you're using a back like Jamaal Charles you might get a few extra yards by getting small when getting an opening through the line,RB on Xbox.A bigger back can use the truck stick and timed with LT and up on the right stick can be effective.

I don't know if you're talking more offline or on but speed parity setting would make a difference with a faster back like Charles.0 would optimize this when using tosses getting around the edge.I'm using sliders that are slightly tweaked from Armor and Swords and have my run blocking at 50-52,can't remember but I know the 50-55 range for both you and the CPU seems to make a big difference with just a couple points either way.The Chiefs o-line I found to be a little subpar though.You can't expect to average 6 yards per carry every game.You should concentrate on boosting the o-line and running back confidence before the game.

The best and simplest advice I can give is.... LET GO OF SPRINT. You have to be patient and not press sprint until you hit the hole.

Thanks for the replies I'll keep practicing.

Actually, pretty much all of the top ranked madden players have said that they hold the right trigger straight out of the hole. Just play the numbers game and aim your running back to a hole.

i had been away from Madden for a decade. how the heck do I juke ?

I recently became pretty good at the run game. It has always been my playstyle in previous Maddens and I've always had to lower it to zero. This year I have to work my way down to zero and am currently at 40. Just be patient and practice how to move your back. Get a feel for how sensitive you have to be on the sticks.

I'm just getting used to it now and I'm still not doing that well, but I've noticed that all my long runs come from going up the middle and not going to the outside like previous Maddens. I usually forget all about the get skinny button tho aswell.
