Defenders running with my RB, instead of tackling him?

[Grimetime4]

I finally made a near perfect slider set, only to have this glitch ruin it for me

I'm running up the sideline with montee ball, and the defense clearly has the angle on him. Next thing I know, they're just running side by side.
It's not auto strafe because I turned it off.
It happened to me while I was on D too. It's like there's an invisible barrier.
Eventually they make a terrible looking dive for the tackle but the stats get completely screwed when a 10 yard run turns into a 30 yard run!

You think it's something with the sliders I made?
Anyone else having the issue?

never had it while running but I get that every once in awhile while on defense -- its annoying

I never noticed until these last 2 games. It blows. As glitchy as the game is, I suppose it's nitpicking. But still

its not nitpicking at all -- like u said the barrier prevents a tackle -- if its their way of "balancing" out stats then have him break the tackle instead

True that! I thought maybe it was game speed or maybe speed threshold somehow. But I'm entirely done experimenting. I've been doin it since it came out

I play on normal with a threshold of 11 -- I still get that

These last couple games I've been on normal with speed thresh on 40.
But before I was playing slow with it at 50 and I really can't remember it happening. But I did a lot of quitting if the sliders were off. Aha so no tellin

Happens to me ALL THE TIME. Even created a thread about it a week or so ago. My defender will just run on the ball carriers hip and I cannot dive, hit stick, or make contact w/ them for 5-7 yards. Seems to be the worst when a player is turning up field.

And I agree about your invisible barrier comment. It feels like there is some sort of force field on the ball carrier that I cannot get past. Extremely weird and I don't understand it

I experienced this too, mostly as a defender though. It's lame because it can give up big plays even though you're in good position to make a stop.

How can EA show off the awesome looking dive tackle animation of defense just make normal tackles?

Post your penalty sliders and they will probably expose what is wrong.

Glad to see I'm not alone with this, is it possibly heat seeker or just some glitch we have to wait to be patched?

I was told heat seeker is the solution to this "glitch" but that isn't true. It happens when its turned on and off. I hope EA knows about this and is working on a solution

Did you DL or make any edits to your roster? I DL a user created roster and made a few equipment changes and started seeing the glitch. Deleted the roster and haven't seen the problem since.

I play on default sliders and have made no roster edits. That stuff has nothing to do with this problem and it happens a lot. Its also very frustrating. You are running trying to collide with the ball carrier and you cant steer into him. Its like you cant move in the direction of the person running the ball.

I have also noticed you lose control of your man sometimes. Its like if the HB makes certain moves your guy runs in sync with the HB instead of where you want him to go.
