I noticed something in the running game...

When i run the ball it seems like some of my lineman just release their blocks... i just did a stretch play and when i hit the outside, literally the second i bounced it out, EVERY defender shed their blocks and came after me untouched...

I have noticed this on successful run plays as well, i just happen to get past the unblocked defender. It doesn't happen to every player on every play but it's something i've begun to notice more frequently

Anybody else notice it?

I have noticed it as well, but for me it seems to happen as soon as I lay on to the speed burst. Almost like they are penalizing you for using the burst at the wrong time.

Exactly! And with auto-sprint on it feels like whenever i change direction they break from their blocks...

I am having similar problems as well, but I just lowered the speed threshold so I have a chance to get by them.

Re: I noticed something in the running game...

I agree about the sprint button, on offense and defense they are trying to break us out of the habit of always holding it down, I'm not sure I've noticed it tied directly to blocking but I will watch it from now on.

Re: I noticed something in the running game...

I think EA changed up containment "stickiness" by DEs & OLBs to prevent online cheesing with QBs immediately/needlessly sprinting outside the pocket.

The real solution here would be to have scoop blocking. If your linemen would actually position themselves appropriately with their blocking, this problem would vanish. And it'd instantly increase the effectiveness of rollout passes, toss sweeps, option passes, stretches, etc.

Re: I noticed something in the running game...

It just happened again... i ran a power option out of the pistol formation.

The very second i hit the pitch button, 3 blockers hit the ground, 2 are blindly running no where, and by the time my running back catches the ball, i have one blocker on the OPPOSITE side of the field still engaged in a block. I am tackled 5 yards in the backfield shortly after receiving the pitch. One player is blocking a single defender... That's it..
