This game has so many damn flaws its not even funny. I'm sure you know all of them so I won't list them all but there is one that really pisses me off and its the blocking assignments. Why is it so hard for them to make blocking assignments correctly on running plays? I'll call a run to the right and the defense is set up with their DT on my RG, DE on my TE and a LB over my RT (not at the LOS) and they will almost never make the RT take on the LB and every freakin' time he comes up and hits me before I get past the line... If you are in a single back formation there will be nobody blocking that guy. Am I the only person that has this problem?

Is it a specific play you're having problems with, or just running out of the 1 back set in general?

Mostly just single back formations on inside runs because the FB (usually) picks up the LB in a proset. Only a few times have I seen the tackle take on the LB thats right in front of him in single back. If he doesn't pick him up nobody will and he is usually in the backfield before I even get the ball. The tackle and guard usually end up double teaming the DT.

Weird. I usually have outstanding success running out of the single back formation with any running play. There's really only one play out of any single back (ace) formations that the MLB is always in the backfield right after I get the ball. It's a misdirection motion play out of the two TE split set. 100% of the time I've run the play I've lost yards.

In fairness though, I'm relatively far along in my dynasty, and I have an offensive line mill. I never have linemen under 90s starting for me.

BTW, is there any recruiting tricks? It's very involved.. I like the older recruiting where you could get anyone you wanted, lol.

You can still very easily get anyone you want.

You just have to focus on bringing down any team that's ahead of you.
