Only time I've seen his spin is that "OMG THE BaLL HAS BEEN SNAPPED DIRECTLY TO ME, SPIN! SPIN! SPIN!" thing that happens when the HB just spins as soon as he gets the ball.

Don't think I've seen it break a tackle yet.

Was so much easier to go find them when [Spin] appeared in the PBP text.

A couple good plays I found.

Along with missed tackles and power thru, wish that was still a thing.

Its hilarious how quickly the anecdote train can turn the other way.

Weird, that it got from: "Is there a grip penalty?", to: "Spin sucks!"

I think Spin is a little bit tricky, because the HB moves that far, which probably leads to all the spins out of bounds. But on the other hand this movement is also the reason for the positive plays. If I had to pick one eleusive SA, I still would pick Juke, but there are plays, where Spin seems to be really effective.

What are the odds spin could be fixed and we wouldn't have HBs spinning out of bounds all the time, Corn?

Don't take it on outside rushers?

chance is likely zero - as the same thing happens all the time on juke in my experience

I dont know, if you can say, it is a bug. First, I agree with Tx, it happens on juke as well. Second, I always thought it is a lack of carrying awareness. Would be interesting to know, if a HB with 100 carrying awareness is doning the same.

I would like to think you wouldn't need to max it at 100 for a HB to understand where the out of bounds line is. I've seen multiple HBs still juke or spin out of bounds with over 80 carry awareness.

If it happens occasionally, I can accept it. If it happens often, its a problem.

How many of you who think you have this problem often are using Elusive or Slippery running styles?

I had this problem more when I was using Elusive/Slippery.

The last few seasons when my HB was on run heavy teams we would cycle through all the rushing styles to see if it could stop him from running out of bounds. The different rushing styles didn't seem to do anything to prevent a spin or juke out of bounds. I have had carry awareness above 70 since Sophomore so, no, that is not the reason.

We even went as far as to start adding some power skills to the elusive HBs to try to get them to stay in bounds but none of it really helped. I really do think something is bugged with the outside runs for elusive HBs.
