Yep! They broke kick returns!
Players are definitely not sprinting now. I haven't noticed the RB issue yet.

Its more than that. It seems no one sprints anymore. Route timing is all jacked up because of it, its even impact online.

In case the developers see this thread, could someone please upload a video and describe what mode you were playing?

CFM, Play Now, Online, Offline.

Sliders, fatigue level. If you have high fatigue settings, you could be noticing this on a more consistent basis.

This will help the developers pinpoint the issue.

Thank you.

Ugh I stared at replay after replay tonight. And I too thought the RBs weren't sprinting when they needed to. Hitting big holes, then getting caught from behind by someone disengaging from a block....can't be true.

Don't have a video handy, but I only noticed it in rainy condition games.

Cloud CFM, Sim mode, fatigue is 55 I think, and my speed slider is at 40. I'm not certain if they were sprinting or not, but when the CPU was having a difficult time making it to the 20 returning a kick in rainy weather I thought it was a bit odd. In regular weather the CPU was getting to the 25-30. This is with me kicking into the wind.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'd like to see if others are seeing the same results with fatigue over 50 and see if that is the culprit.

Yep seeing the exact same thing all pro default, default stamina and threshold.

Especially running backs

So, I'm seeing the same thing regarding CPU running as the others on purely default settings. And it's not like it's a sprint vs. non-sprint thing - as a user my players can run faster than they are even if I'm not holding the sprint button. It almost looks as though their speed/accel ratings aren't working, as bizarre as that sounds.

This is 100% a bug, and it needs to be addressed quickly. It can be seen really easily in practice mode btw.
