how do i stop the run

i play people who run the ball 20+ times almost every game and no matter what play i run there is either a huge hole or they fall 5-6 yards forward.

Formations like 3-4 are good for that, and abilities like Inside Stuff

Are you sure you didn't mean pass lol just use inside stuff and outside done

Zone defenses work well against the run. Blitzing can be boom or bust.  Zones let the Defense read and react instead of focusing on their coverage assignment and do well against the run game, including scrambling QBs .    D line abilities do make a huge difference, like inside stuff, but only work against zone runs. I think they're worth using though.   But  sometimes you just gotta guess run or pass before the snap to get a stop

Formation wise 3-4

Ability wise Inside Stuff

I personally just slant my line and sometimes pinch them.
