	Pass rush moves are contextual, and the game automatically chooses the pass rush animation based on the player and what move is best suited to the situation. Madden NFL 15 features hundreds of new pass rush animations. If the move exists in the NFL, you will see it in the game. The moves range from rips, swims, push pulls, bull rushes, speed rushes, counter moves, clubs to everything in between. You can also steer a blocker using the left stick to hold gaps, clog up running lanes and get opposing linemen off balance to set them up for a move.

According to this Twitter reply from Clint, the game's adaptive AI allows the CPU to do this.

That the CPU uses the new DL moves (with the exception of block steering) was confirmed earlier in this thread.

Just because I am engaged with an offensive lineman does not mean I "lost". It seems they've adopted this when it comes to user control, but not for the AI. What really sucks about this is that guys who play only against the computer will never once see this done against them. Have to admit, this is an absolute head scratcher.

It probably would wreck and glitch out the game. Like others have been saying, building this stuff on top of what was already there is probably easier then rewriting everything. Madden is still tailored to be a user v user game instead of a full experience for everyone. The CPU has access to moves the user doesn't and the vice versa. I'm sure they're trying to get away from that, but it's still evident.
