So i have no issues with winning The league easily by just chewing clock and "cheesing it" by running mid blitz and running inside zone and kicking a last second fg for the win. However in The Run even though it says its on arcade its still sweaty as hell and alot of the games you start down 2 or 3 touchdowns. I tried it once last week and got to the 2nd tier and went 0-2. I dont want to sweat against the cpu. And they play like they are on all madden sim. Their 87 ovr CB somehow keeps up with my 98 Brandon Marshall on a crossing route. I have googled a ton and cant find any help. Does anyone have a way to easily beat all 4 tiers? Its like the only thing worth grinding because i dont play h2h.

Do i need any specific abilities on my lineman/fb/te for blocking? I have Dickerson with ultimate freigt train, reach for it, and steam roller. I dont know alot about abilities.

for your whole line definitely try nasty streak, i would also suggest puller elite on both guards and maybe the center, tight ends and fullbacks should have vanguard, running back should also have tank

Small point of order...the most you ever start down by in The Run is 14 points (in 2 games out of a maximum of 20). So your claim that you start down by 3 touchdowns in 'alot of the games' is a false one.

Stick to your strengths on offense. Make sure you have plays you know will work for big chunks quick.

Hitstick fumbles are the key on defense. Find something that can slow them down enough so they cant score a td. I run cover 3 zone(no match) the whole game and I always have someone in the vicinity to hit them clean, its their cryptonite.

I used to struggle and lose occasionally, losing the run sometimes. Now I'm back to being able to just run clock after a quick back and forth to get the lead.

Always let them return the kick. Hester, Bush, Sketch, Vick, they all fumble.

Having a near guaranteed 1 play td helps a lot if you happen to go down 3 scores because they got the ball first up 13-0. Just focus and stick with what got you there. Don't use your timeouts if you dont want accelerated clock.

this is the play to score on cpu easily

https://huddle.gg/26/playbooks/ravens-off/i-form-wing/hb-power-g/#

ensure you have two strong blocking tight ends or sub additional RT (george kittle rt card is perfect for this) as TE.

you can keep fullback under center or line them just behind the tight ends to get him to the edge quicker or leave him under center in case any defenders penetrate your line.

the key to this play is letting the cpu defenders get sucked into your oline…dont sprint to the edge or they will meet you there everytime

instead, run normal speed or stutter step for a second while blocks build—cpu will try to rush inwards and your line will easily seal the edge on them

You are not wrong that The Run plays more challenging than the seasons. But it is still very manageable.

On defense, turning on aggressive tackles and going for hit sticks is key. They fumble a lot. Very easy to make up 2 scores quickly.

On offense, I usually switch between levels sail and inside zone (run play is an audible from levels), depending on yardage, score and clock. If you are comfortable enough running out the clock while down a score and then going for 2 to win with little/no time left, you can do so. I tend to be a bit more conservative and get the lead then chew out the clock.
