Both of the games were in Play Now and All-Pro difficulty.

Hopefully that means elite defenses will be difficult to play against.

Thanks, been waiting for a thread like this. Ive been having a lot of trouble running, with my backs running into linemen, feeling like im not in total control.
But i wish they would remove the precision modifier from the left trigger and make the left stick push sensitive. Slightly pushing the left thumb stick should=left trigger precision modifier.

Finally!!! lol

I've been having problems running the ball since I got the game and I couldn't figure out why. I defiantly will have to try this out when I get home and see if it works for me.

I use the zoom camera. All pro sliders at default only changing QB accuracy

Kind of a running rated question. How do you give the ball to the running back on a read option? Never used the play in previous versions, but since I have a running QB this year I am. Just can't figure out how to give the RB the ball.

Usually in past editions, you hold 'X' on PS4 to hand the ball off, and if you don't hold 'X' you keep the ball. I'm assuming it's probably 'A' on Xbox.

Yes, this definitely helps. Like most I was having trouble running as well. I was holding sprint to hit the hole faster, only to run into the back of a lineman and fall, or I was unable to make a cut to a hole. I went into practice mode with the Niners against the Seahags. I started using the precision modifier as soon as I got the ball and patiently waited for blocking to develop before making a quick move. Even when getting hit, it seems the precision modifier/right stick combo helps you stay upright sometimes or fight for extra yardage. It was only practice mode, but I gashed the Seahags for 40+ yd gains multiple times. I don't know if this is the case with most teams, but counters work really well w/ the Niners. This was on all pro.
