makes one-handed catches in a manner that is uncanny. Baker Mayfield’s quick and unique release is on display and Odell Beckham Jr. In this regard, player animations for stars seem more in step with their real-life counterparts. Unlike the run game, I always had to think about where and when to throw the ball, taking into account the type of pass I needed to throw to get the ball to where only my receiver could haul it in. The passing game, on the other hand, has much better balance. If you spend a lot of time playing against the CPU, you’re going to run all over them. I imagine the run game will become more balanced post-launch, but as of now, if you spend a lot of time playing against the CPU, you’re going to run all over them. I noticed no changes in my yards-per-carry average between difficulty levels. But after finding far too much success, I bypassed All-Pro and went straight for All-Madden. In fact, I normally play on Pro or All-Pro difficulty. I mention the difficulty not because I’m an amazing Madden player. Playing as Baker Mayfield, who isn’t particularly speedy, I can scramble out of the pocket and regularly run for 15 to 20 yards - also on All-Madden difficulty. The same goes for inside runs and scrambling with the QB. I can run four tosses to either side of the field in a row and gain significant positive yardage on at least three of them. At first, I was overjoyed to find so many open lanes. The running game has been an uphill battle in Madden for years, so it’s surprising to see this major turn. The last time I ran for so many long touchdowns in Madden, I was playing as Madden NFL 2004 cover athlete Michael Vick, who was basically the embodiment of a cheat code. ![]() I’ve lost track of how many 50-plus yard touchdowns I’ve scored that started with outside pitches. Even when playing on All-Madden difficulty, my Browns running back tandem of Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb averaged north of 10 yards per carry. The run game, which has traditionally been a bit too strenuous, has burst wide open in Madden NFL 20, swinging the pendulum completely the other way. And unlike a trip through the sewer, my running backs would have pristine jerseys when crossing the goal line for a long touchdown. John Madden once said that “the road to Easy Street goes through the sewer.” Well, in Madden NFL 20, Easy Street is apparently anywhere on the field for a star running back.
