Right Analog "HIGHLIGHT STICK" M13 Edition

(Learn It. Live It. Love It.)

More often than not the easiest and most simple rule is the one broken the most in leagues. In the SFL, the highlight stick is to be applied TO ALL LATERAL MOVEMENTS.

Why?

Balancing issues. The momentum(change/shift of direction of your players) is unbalanced allowing offensive players to change directions without adhering to physics while defenders must stop and plant before changing directions. It also replicates the act of a player using "his vision" to cut into a hole or to run to daylight.
What do legal cuts look like?

Side Hop-step- Flick the Right Analog left or right

Head Fake Juke- Move Right Analog left to right or vice versa consecutively

One Cut Juke(Last Play in video above)- 95% of the time triggers after the runner gets into full sprint animation after about 9-11 yards

* The Infinity Engine will take over from time to time during collisions, causing you to lose control of the player temporarily. (The Helu run vs. Texans is an example)
Examples of illegal cuts that will get you booted fast...



* This doesn't exclude or mean its OK to make subtle left stick jukes because they aren't as drastic as the Roy Helu clip above. That includes the famous bounce/swerve to another gap if defenders are clogging the lane, shimmying into a hole, subtle swerves to navigate through traffic, swerving around on kickoffs, finding a convoy on INT returns, etc. etc. etc....

* The only true reason one has to not use the highlight stick is if they're scrambling with the QB behind the line of scrimmage. The Highlight Stick isn't an activated button until you pass the line of scrimmage.

It is almost expected for new owners to slip up from time to time as they get adjusted to the rules. However, this isn't a difficult rule by any means, and by your third game you should have this down pact. I advise you all to practice this until it becomes second nature to you.

I did not put this thread up for argument or to say who isn't sim or who is. All I know is lately, I've been getting guys who run like the 2nd video and it needs to get fixed. Some of you may not have seen this, so I left it here.

Also, I've heard you can save highlights before the game ends. If you get some questionable behavior going on, try and save it.

You got to pause the game before the clock hits .00 and you can save just like before.

I tried this before and it did not show up in the pause menu. I believe it's only for user vs CPU games and doesn't work for user vs user. I could be wrong though

Bumping this for new users.
