Finally decided to upgrade my oline to 85+

And I can’t run the ball to save my life anymore. What gives? Same plays being called.

Waste of coins IMO hopes it helps though. I'd work on plays you're calling.

I've seen a few content creators say RPOs are the most effective way to run the ball. I think Henry's best run play in the ultimate kickoff mcs event was also an rpo? So perhaps try mixing in more of those if you aren't already.

 I've also seen some talk about how the way the ai is coded this year it's difficult to have success with regular running plays because of how it adapts to them if you use them multiple times. Not sure how true this is but figured I should mention it.

Could have definitely lived without your comment.

I only use RPOs when running. And again I had success before upgrading my line. I’m running the same plays with no luck

By any chance, do the new guys somehow go below the thresholds for run blocking or power/finesse when the previous ones didn't in some way? Probably not the issue but only thing I can think of, or lower strength maybe.

Thank you, this list is fire.  Dumb luck that i've continued running mostly RP (and big Trent Williams) on my O-line, wish I could say that was by design and not just because i'm poor/cheap.

Yeah it’s like someone telling you “congratulations on your new baby, even though it’s butt ugly”  or  “oh you bought a brand new car?  It’s a piece of crap, don’t you read the reviews?”

My bad I misunderstood the what you were saying. I thought you were having trouble running the ball in general.

Like it's been suggested above maybe your oline no longer meet key threshold stats. Or maybe the opponent(s) you faced with your new line are better at stopping the run than opponents you faced before. Those seem like the simplest solutions to me. Could just be a fluke as well. Hope you get whatever it is figured out

this is me. online i constantly bump into my o line and struggle to get more than 6 yards a carry. thoight it was a skill issue but it’s just my skill with bo. 

moved to a smaller back and I’m breaking the gaps again

I hate to say this because i usually love his cards but Bo Jackson sucks this year, i'm sorry to say it. Not sure if it makes sense but he's too big and so far, this game isn't really good for big runners.

Thought it was nice considering lol. New line same plays and it's not working. What is the problem guys 😭

I hate Bo's cards specifically because of his shoulder pads. They will hang you up on interior D lineman where other backs will slip through. Bo could be a 99 right now and that problem would persist.
