    Auto Sprint

    Auto sprint or manual? Which do you prefer?

    I really have mixed feelings on this. Sometimes, I like it alot because I have the tendency sprint at the wrong times when on manual. However, when I use auto sprint, my running game in general is better, but I am never able to break a really big play. I can break runs of 20 to 30 yards, but can never seem to take one the distance.

        i use auto also but still hit the sprint button. i have been watching game film for the last 15 years as a job. the sprint button has been my biggest gripe with this game since idk maybe 2000. you hit sprint and the defense hits sprint you let off to make a cut the cpu doesnt and you can never make a second move. now you can get up in the hole without while putting light pressure on the stick and then burst up into the secondary. its beautiful. sprint button 100% arcade. its like tapping A button as fast as you can in tecmo bowl.

          Much prefer auto sprint. In fact, I played one of the older games and had trouble adjusting back to holding the sprint button. I was sure to turn off auto strafe. That's just annoying.

            For me it's much the same as other posters, Auto all the way but out of habit I still end up holding down the trigger. My reasoning is the same as "thelasthurtknee" said the manual sprint just seems arcadey by comparison.

                my run game has opened up since I turned this feature (that I didn't know I had) off. I now suddenly am able to pick my holes much better before sprinting. I'd recommend turning it off for anyone having trouble running a spread option.

                  I can't go back to Manual after using Auto sprint in NCAA and Madden this year. I think it's a great feature for football as it allows you to read your blocking better. You can still "sprint" with Auto sprint on; it's similar to NHL's setup where if you jam up on the L-stick, the faster your player will go.

                    Yea, a lot of this. Especially when you pick the Zone runs.

                    You need to not hold the sprint until you see the hole, then hit your speed just as you're bursting through to get into the second level.

                      Manual... It's easier to hit your holes and cut back when the auto sprint is off.. just got to get use to knowing when it's time to hit the sprint button..
