Would this be considered "cheese"?

Offline I turned off Auto Sprint and don't press it. It became too easy to run with guys like Bush because they change direction too well sprinting and the defense looks silly.

Actually, changes of direction are easier, sharper, and harder with the sprint disengaged than they are when they aren't. To get the best cuts you should sprint to a spot, RELEASE SPRINT for a split second, make your move (Juke, Spin, etc), then REENGAGE SPRINT after the move is done.

Small direction changes are easily accomplished with the sprint pressed, but sharp cuts with the SPRINT engaged slows the runner quite a bit.

Hey, if you're going to leave your DB 1-on-1 against an athletic ball carrier, that's the risk you take.

Keep your edge contained, imo. Gap control is a big part of run defense, both in the game and in real life.

Vick/Young/Tebow - they move around a lot to avoid pressure.

Isn't nano-blitzing just a strong A-gap blitz?

That video thats posted is absolute trash...

Completely unrealistic and straight Cheddar CHEESE!!!

If your NOT doing that, then your not cheesing... But if your doing that, then YES you are cheesing...

*note*

general rule of thumb... if your in a "Sim" league, and you have to ask yourself (or make an OS Thread) and ask "is this cheese" then it probably is...

I can't believe this would even be a discussion.

You're moving your players on the field. You're not doing something causing the opposite player to not be able to defend appropriately.

I could only imagine the threads here if Barry Sanders was recreated in video game form.

Why is a ball carrier changing directions "cheese"? This is why I don't play online. I'd probably end up getting called a "cheeser" just by trying to duplicate the plays and movements I see in the real game and using the tendencies of the real Ravens (like throwing to Rice a lot).

Really, this is a serious question.

I see ball carriers change direction all the time in the real game. How is it unrealistic for a ball carrier to fake in one direction and make a sharp cut in another?

I've never understood the need for a "juke move" since a "juke" is just a quick change in direction and a short space often executed with stutter-steps or chop-step footwork. Why can't we just move players like that?

To me, it's about containment. If I don't want a ball carrier doing that, then I should have my defenders pursuing the ball, and if the other team goes outside a lot, I should be calling defenses that guard the edges more readily.
