When the defense flips a play, or auto flip is used, will the SS align with the strength of the offense or will the SS always line up on their original side of the field?

On previous generation EA football games, this was always on the offenses right side, which made the concept of having a SS vs. a FS kind of arbitrary and made it awkward when you flipped a play and the FS would get the robber or in-the-box assignment instead of your SS and FS simply switching spots on the field.

I don't have Madden 17 (or a current gen console) so I can't answer this question for myself yet nor can I glean it from videos I've seen.
