If a runner (after a handoff) is forced into a juke...which takes him off course. Let his "carry awareness" take over rather than continuing to force him along the predetermined running route.

It doesn't happen a ton - but this was the issue a season or two ago with the FB strong across (I don't know if that was ever fixed or not -- I don't run it).

But here is a good example of how silly it is (and a particularly egregious case).

If the runner bounces out weak side - it doesn't make any sense to continue to try to force his way the right direction -- isn't that why we invest in carry awareness: the ability to see defenders; find rushing lanes....when carrying the ball.

It looks like Carry Awareness doesn't kick in until some length of predetermined route has been completed.

Is this GLB2 or Dancing with the Bots?

i agree it appears he is preset to run to spot X regardless of the fact its impossible and retarded from where he is.. would be nice if once a guy gets off the preset path or doesnt finish it in X time then his awareness kicks in and he stars looking for something positive to get out of the play.

Well this suggestion doesn't really help when you post a pretty obvious bugged play as an example. The juke fires him out of a cannon and then he starts spinning. Pretty buggy as hell.

Here's one like you described, after a juke.

This happens all the time. 3* Juke fires right off the bat with many runs, and kills a majority of them.

Yes, but cutbacks don't happen in GLB2, depending on if it's a strong-side or weak-side rush, once you're on that half of the field, your HB isn't going to take it back across that threshold.

It's really a problem because HBs are forced to run further and further outside on rushes that should be broken upfield.

Besides juke (And a rare maneuver that sometimes happens near the sideline when you're behind the LoS), once a HB starts moving outside it is limited to only moving outside until he/she runs out of bounds. Especially on pitches.
