Yes, I admit I used big run the entire first half of play and it got pretty rediculous. Should have turned it off but didn't. I posted that recap because that is how I won, and that's the end of it. I showed poor judgment on numerous occasions and realized I pissed off one user I should never have and regret the game. I am certain my coaches report took a major hit and rightfully so. I will be playing the rest of the season without Big Run on; I used it often last year, but I went the entire year last season without a sizable lead so didn't ever have it brought to my attention. I realize that this isn't an excuse but it is what it is. I spoke with AJ in private after the game, and am aware I will be closely watched the rest of the season.

Please do not let this affect NDL: ESPN or the Island Report or my writers. They work too hard and my actions should not affect their work.

P.S. Beefy, you will be excluded from all future IRs.

There is an option on strategy where you can select Big Run

I think your RB breaks more tackles but is more likey to fumble...or you can pick protect the ball...then your RB wont break the big run or tackles..but will protect the ball more.

I think...dont use either...but Ive seen it in the options at the beginning of the game.

I haven't ever used anything offensively. But now I guess I do realize why some guys I can't tackle for shit. Frustrating as hell. But at the same time, I realize why I seem to get alot of fumbles and not cough up the ball much. Guess it's obviously risk/reward.

I don't use any of the offensive settings, but I do use tight zones (if you don't, they play like retards) and the conservative setting on the option (I think it's play the pitch man).
