i totally phail at this game i acnt even get a touchdown any tips to improve my gameplay??

simple play calls, don't run any trick plays get to the basics of football, run the ball first - throw second and if possible run play action

pump up all the players attributes on roster menu on the team you use and that will help you out a lot it helped me.

I suggest you get used to using highlight moves because that can greatly improve your yards per carry and yards after contact because you can shake the defense or plow through the defense (I just about always make a TD every carry because I have gotten so used to it.) Then when they get used to that just do a play action then if they are going for the running back you have the option to run with it or pass. Then when they start to play zone then do the little short passes and screens. Finally if they begin playing man to man find who has the best advantage against their match up then use a hot route and send him straight out and when he gets a good ways bullet it to him unless its double coverage
