How to get less TD returns

[JeremyHight]

What do you have their run blocking at? Run blocking should stay around 50 or lower or else kick returns are beastly.

Lower Run Block.
Also, lower Run Defense so your team doesn't dominate against the run like crazy on Heisman mode. Also, raise Run Ability...this will help, especially against option teams so option teams PLAY like option teams. On Heisman, I have my CPU at like 90 Run Ability, but like 35 Run Block and 50 Run Defense. HUM is at like 65 Run Ability, 35 Run Block, and 35 Run Defense.

With Run Block lowered, they won't pancake you on returns...they just bump you off your line.

That, so far, has improved the CPU run game, especially the option, drastically. However, not at the expense of killer kick returns and touchdowns, which is down to normal for me.

Also, a lot of returns I see are completely caused by the player controlling a player or multiple players putting themselves ridiculously out of position.

Just control the kicker all the way down.

That definitely has to be one of the causes as well.

When I was fudging around with it, for slider purposes, I noticed that the returns typically happened because the user controlled player missed a tackle or I overran the angle on the return, or just did something stupid to get around the defender.

Now, I don't think that was the ENTIRE problem by any means, because the CPU would pancake my other players, leaving the return man a simple hurdle away from daylight.

I dont have any return for a td But i have returned 11 now in just 7 games. its Ridic easy. 5 Yards down field is all i run before every defender has been laid flat. Whats weird is that the Dynasty year before i got maybe 3. Whyed it all of a sudden become so easy?
