Acceleration Burst?
 
Just haven't been able to get used to this yet. Or maybe I'm just not using it right. I've tried just pushing it once but then it seems like you get caught from behind to easily. I've had better success holding the button down for the remainder of the play after I push it (kinda like the old sprint button) but this really drains the players stamina. What's everyone's opinions on this feature and the best way to use it?

The purpose of the speed burst is to get to the players top speed faster. once they hit that top speed they won't go any faster. A good example of using it is on running plays don't hit it until you see a hole open up. Lowering the speed threshold will help from getting caught from behind all the time.

I've been playin on 0 threshold. And I don't hit it until I find I hold or get around the edge but once I let go of the button it's like instead of remaining at top speed they go back to how they were running before the button was pressed. Maybe it's in my head.

If your holding it instead of just pushing it for a short time it drains the stamina faster resulting in the player running slower. Not saying this is what you are doing, just trying to help.

I gotta say, it kinda feels like this for me too.

I also play on 0 thres, and my 90+ spd/acc rated HB is getting caught by much slower guys, some have angles....but I dunno, I almost have to think it's something I am doing wrong also !

I find a hole then i press the acc button till im in the endzone or get tackled for a long gain, in real life players usually come out for a play or three when this happens so its pretty realistic.

It's R2, which I always thought was sprint and was using it anyway in many previous versions.

It's not really "new" at all, other than now when you use it it steals your stamina. If they changed R2 from spring to acceleration burst, I'm still trying to figure out where they moved sprint too.

I just checked the advanced controls. Now there is no sprint.

Basically they changed "sprint" to "acceleration burst" and now it drains your energy faster.

The past few years the default was "Auto-sprint" where pressing R2 (or RT for the Xbox crew) wouldn't do anything. The game decided how you should sprint based on what you did with the left stick.

I never cared for that so I always turned Auto-Sprint off but for many pressing R2 did nothing for the past few years.
