Looking for Schemes to Make the Most of Non-X-Factor RBs

Hey all,

I've been rocking w/ Titans TT since I started playing in April (I know, bad time to get into the game - don't even get me started). 

Titans TT eased the learning curve for Madden by allowing me to use Derrick Henry's AKA card. However, I do feel like crutching the AKA cards put a pretty hard ceiling on my own ability because I relied upon it so much. So, in an effort to get better at Madden, I bought the 99 Mold Breakers Campbell. 

My experience with Campbell so far has been, pointedly, disappointing. Without the charged X-Factor, he just doesn't break early tackles at all. I've switched playbooks a few times to attempt to optimize Campbell's usage, but even the "solutions" I've found give me 25-35% of Henry's output (which seems insane given both Campbell's price relative to Henry and Campbell's individual stats). 

So, given that I've exhausted all other options, I wanted to poll the MUT.gg forums - what schemes have you guys been running to make the most of non-X-Factor RBs? I'm looking for specific plays, run schemes, and general advice regarding the topic. Please, just save me from running Outside Zone for a -1 yard result for the ninth time in a single game.

What abilities is he and your line using? 

Are you hitting turbo before you pass the LOS?

I've got secure protector on all OL positions along with Identifier (LG) and Nasty Streak (RG, RT). 

Right now, I've been running Bruiser (0AP), Human Joystick (1AP), Tank (1AP) as abilities with First One Free as X-Factor. 
 

Sometimes I hit turbo and sometimes I don't -  honestly not completely sure and would have to sit down and focus to see which one I do more often. Should I be waiting behind LOS or sprinting through?

Nasty Streak is great for big running plays. 
If youre on current gen, HJS doesnt do much. Youll want Freight Train over First One Free X Factor if you use one there. 

If youre behind the line, dont push it. It changes the blocking coding. Wait till after the LOS to hit it.

Thanks, appreciate the help! 

I'm on next gen, so should I still be rolling with HJS? Otherwise my 0ap options basically Bruiser and Evasive

If you're willing to run an x-factor look TTR te for their vanguard. The season 3 gronk gets access to a better version of this as well.

^ This is the answer to all run problems.  I am now using three Vanguard TEs... Gronk (always on) for 1 AP... Kittle (charged) for 1 AP... and Gentry (charged) for 1 AP.  I get so many untouched long TD runs it's almost unfair how they bowl everyone over.

I'm using a similar blocking setup but Parham instead of Gentry

With 3 of your 6 AP there, what QB are you using? And your other AP spot?

Right now I'm using McNair, but eventually want to shift over to Henry I think - obviously going to be some transitionary period when leveling up the pass

Edit: realized this was not a reply for me, lol. Am also curious what QB he has though

I would assume hes using Either Rodgers/GT for 2 AP
