Big question.. will these be used by non-user players?

I'm gonna guess no

I really really hope these new press interactions aren't all or nothing. There should be semi successful presses, plays where a WR gets a step but the DB isn't completely beaten.

While these mechanics were spawned for the Team Play style of MUT Squads, all are available to be used in all modes, including Franchise, MUT, and online H2H. Even the AI-controlled players will be using the mechanics, again based heavily on their assignment on the given play call and their relevant ratings to each situation.

That's some interesting stuff. Sounds like that bit about route-running/cut moves was put in to combat the swerve.

Quote:

Route-Running and Cut-Move Mechanics: Once you are into your route-stem and out of any interactions that may trigger off the line, there's some important mechanics to note when finishing your route. The LS will steer the receiver anywhere you want him to go, but when using only LS, you cannot make any sharp cuts to gain separation. To make sharp cuts, you must hold down the RB/R1 button to lock in your current moving direction and then flick the RS in one of eight directions to make a sharp cut. This can be used as a combo, as well to make double moves and fake out man coverage defenders. LS control will not be returned until the RB/R1 button is released.
