Yeah, this is tame in comparison to last year. Bad pursuit angles meant that you could stop a guy from running stretch five times, but sixth time your player took the wrong angle and it was six. This year, at least in that area, it's a little improved. Mind you, it's still dog shit, but it's not nearly as frustrating as it was last year.
Last year was more explosive this year HB still gains 3-4 yards even when tackled at the LOS because everyone is a god at falling forward and reaching
not even close, 20 with dickerson lit up made me break a controller or two
Dickerson and HJS Jackson were much harder to stop. I have no issue stopping the run...some games it is a complete shut down and others they get 3-4 yards an attempt, but I have no concerns with it...and I make no major adjustments.
No... it was last year when Dickerson came out with the auto x-factor

Most OP run game was in a previous madden when you could have had multiple OOP Donald Penns at WR and TE.
what i hate about this game:
so many shit ea needs to fix to make this game less glitchy.
It has to be last year with Dickerson, especially before they nerfed his NFL 100 X-Factor. This year is pretty rough so far.

I think this year is worse. Last year it was relatively easy to stop the run on a play by play basis with the exception of the eventual long TD runs on 4th and long, plus Dickerson was a beast. This year it is constantly giving up 3 to 4 yards per play. Not so much the long td runs from last year. I also think the fact that they nerfed hit sticks and qb fumbles really shows up when an opponent is running it every play this year.
If you cant stop run in this game, you have no run D.
Last year was way worse
IDK if they did something to running in this last patch but Bo has been going crazy. I been getting at least 100 a game. Still never got in the zone yet though lol

well if people run for 300 yards and 3 tds on guys like KMac I guess my take wasnt that bad. defenders dumb out so bad in the run game, rbs fall forward on almost every run. i think its worse than 20 after what ive seen this past WL
Interesting to see how many thought it was way worse in 20. pretty much exact opposite for me. I mostly had no issues stopping the run in madden 20. 3-4 odd with pinched line, crash outside/inside, spread lbs and press bagged it
Nope, madden 20 was W A Y worse. and with hb stretch+eric dickerson unpatched? still haunts me at night
I don't think so. It was way worse in madden 20. Can't stop the pass tho... Pass rush seems non existent
20 was the most bs. That's why for the championship they even used punters as QB lol
i get runned on easily but i dont do that well, idk what im doing wrong
Is it right now? No abilities stop it, no setups consistently stop it, they even fall forward for 3 yards when they get blown up behind the LOS. You honestly dont even need stick skill to run for 150 a game
