The developers seem keen on not promoting it from interviews I've listened to. Apparently, players and coaches that have stopped by have expressed to them that this isn't realistic or something that teams do - which is why they have added a level of randomness to the direction the player runs after you direct them. It is probably kept in the game for the head to head crowd, and I would expect them to go away from it in the future (prediction).

That is odd, because im pretty sure ive seen qbs point guys in directions sometimes when on the run.

Do you have any source for this or is it purely speculative?

This was actually mentioned in the pre-release stream (the same one with Anthony White breaking down the new zones, and in that same segment). They talked about how they drastically reduced Playmaker's effectiveness for '17 - basically causing it to have a delay before the command takes effect. And, yes - it was done in the name of sim football, as they considered it a somewhat arcade feature.

I'll see if I can find the exact point it's mentioned, but that whole segment is around 3 hours long.

Edit: Found it. 7:24 (that's 7 hours 24 minutes) of this video:
