Guess Play Run Middle/Left/Right aka Run Commit still crashes all defenders
In the College Football 25 Gameplay Deep Dive, the following change was described for Guess Play Run Left / Middle / Right, aka Run Commit:
- Defensively, the risk factor associated with Run Commit has been toned down as well. Traditionally, the risk was conceding a touchdown if the offense opted for a pass, with the reward potentially being a tackle for loss. Now, this mechanic only affects defenders positioned in the box.
When I use Guess Play Run Left / Middle / Right in the game right now, however, I am still observing defenders who are not in the run fit or in the box crashing the line of scrimmage, similar to all previous Madden games (i.e. I am not seeing the new behavior described above). For example, using Guess Play Run Middle with Nickel Over - Cover 3 Sky called makes both boundary cornerbacks and the deep middle third safety crash towards the line of scrimmage, none of whom are in the run fit.
Ideally, I would like to see defenders not in the box not commit to the run when Guess Play Run Left / Middle / Right is used. Thanks!
