In real life backs can perform jukes within less than a yard from a defender. And the stiff arm, having to wait for first contact for the stiff arm to trigger defeats the purpose of the stiff arm, we should be able to hold out the stiff arm whenever we want to.

I agree, if pretty stupid to predetermine a juke from that distance. that's not what they are used for in real life. and I hated they changed the stiff arm. pressing x and just gambling some stiff arm ani will happen is a dumb and I rarely see a positive result if any. liked how it was originally because you could see it AND it was a nice way to switch carrying arm to the outside.

I'm loving the running game this year. It doesn't feel cheap like last year where basically any inside or outside zone was nearly a guaranteed 8 - 20 yards and short yardage was automatic.

The running scheme tutorials in the game really help, especially the one on zone runs, the power run, and the one where the guard pulls to block a DT... Forgetting the name of it. I used to always get blown up on that particular run, and since doing the tutorial, I now know when to flip it and how to maximize it's effectiveness. Gives me a lot of variety in running.

The only drawback to running, this year, is the broken in-game progression system. When you're winning, after a full game, and if you've ticked off your drive goals in franchise mode, your running back becomes an unstoppable beast.
