NCAA Football 14 Developers Discuss Running the Option

[slick589]

The main problem I see the the demo is defenders standing around waiting to get blocked and not being able to disengage when blocked.

In real life when preparing to face a spread option team the best way to go about it is to assign defenders to different players

Ex. Against a shot gun speed option the DE is to crack the QB every time whether he has pitched the ball or not. The OLB and play side safety are to do the same to the pitch man.

Idk if its bc they want to show off the new blocking or running of the option but the defense in the demo is no where near aggressive enough to stop the option.

This. Sucks that its no block shedding slider to help with this.

That will be one of the items up for business with the editor...to raise shed block for defenders across the board.
