I think it was just a bit too high as well. On the positive side though, the running game LOOKED a whole lot more realistic. I think it should be turned down just a bit though, to the point where there are maybe 3-4 of those runs during the complete game where a couple of tackles are broken and the run turns into a pretty good gain. Currently, you can see 3-4 of those plays a drive.
I thought the running looked pretty good. In addition to better overall performances, it just "looked" more realistic. It looked like the backs were making moves, etc.
