So I press the button assuming that I will get the closest guy and instead I run off into the woods with my safety. Similarly on a toss play by the CPU I was given the middle line backer who was running down the line of scrimmage to make the play, INSTEAD of the D End that was closer, but had been blocked out of the play. That worked out great. So sometimes it works, sometimes it throws you way off.

I agree 100%. Sometimes I try to get a hit stick in by switching to the closet player, but they change me into the free safety. I swing and miss and they get a long run. I'm finding myself not switching as much in fear of taking my players out of the play.
