HB Swing routes

Will EA ever figure out how to program these routes so that they don't run straight out of bounds? Seems like it's this way every year.

Lol... Exactly buoy would think after 7 years they would have figured out the issue. But EA just says" screw it... Ship the thing!"

Re: HB Swing routes

I don't have a whole lot of gripes about this years installment, but this still makes me so go super-rage. When the RB has a lot of green in front of him but proceeds to catch it and run straight out of bounds...

And on screen passes where the RB runs back toward the ball and straight into the d-line instead of waiting for it.

Re: HB Swing routes

Yea I'm enjoying the game but this is one of those things that gets under my skin. I usually don't even throw it to the HB when he's running this route b/c if i do it is always a negative play. If he's within 5 yards of the sideline he catches it and goes straight out of bounds.

The path he takes on the route is entirely too flat and doesn't round up the field as he nears the sideline. I'll step down from my soapbox now!

Just lead the Halfback to the inside and he won't go out of bounds.

Re: HB Swing routes

I don't think throwing behind my WR and leading him inside is a solution to this problem
