I used to have that problem too. Not sure exactly what I did but more of my running plays seem to work now.

I always make it a point to have a top offensive line, and in double or triple TE sets I replace the TE on the strong side with one of my backup OL.

Also, I used to hold the turbo button right away once the back got the ball, now I wait until I have a hole to hit. When you're holding turbo you don't have the agility you need to cut and make that initial move that can sometime get you into the open field.

This is the first Madden where I really had to work on my running game. In past games you could always rely on being able to run the ball right from the first time you played. I kinda like '05 for that.
