That's weird, I love the running game, I always have since I first played John Madden Football back in 1991-1992. I average about 230 per game, and that's with my dude who's a 90 OVR and a shitty shitty OL. What I do to get yards is run out of the I Twins, HB Iso. Switch the play back and forth. I set the slot guy in motion, usually this brings the OLB to the other side, leaving only the CB and the DE to deal with. Once the snap takes place I scan the inside lanes, if that's open I take it. If not, I make it look like I'm running inside anyway and then push the D pad either left or right (which ever way goes to the outside) and spin at the same time. If your HB is skilled enough, he will spin fast, stunning the LBs. This gives you an opportunity to hit the sprint towards the sidelines. 8-10 yards guaranteed.

Once I run this I'll either run Shotgun Spread Quick Option left or right, and either take it or pitch it, 5-10 yards. Then I'll go back to I Twins Counter and that usually picks up 5-8 yards, depending on how good the DE and DTs are, and whether or not they are blitzing. If they are blitzing, I get stuffed, but oh well. Once I am successful with this I run I Twins PA whatever to choke the defense, because they'll bite on it for sure, this picks up about 10-15 yards. Sometimes I get feisty and run Shotgun Spread Slants or post or something that usually gets one receiver open.

These sliders can be pretty hard sometimes, especially against good teams who have a talented DL. In that case they usually won't bite on me bringing the slot guy in motion, and I'll have to pick my plays very carefully in order to gain 3-4 yards per carry or not do something stupid like throw an INT or fumble the ball.
