Coach Mode Option Runs

[burnum]

Does the Option work properly on Coach Mode this year? My QB always seems to keep the ball, no matter what the read DE does.

Im in coach mode with the seahawks post-update. Lynch gets it 90% of the time. Before my qb would always keep it.

Seems to be working fine for me in all of my CFMs, haven't had any problems so far.

Doesn't work for me AT ALL. I've tested with 4 different teams (Dolphins, Colts, Seahawks, Patriots) to see if it's somehow related to the AWR of the QB.

No matter which team I use, the QB will ALWAYS keep the ball on option plays. The pitch plays (e.g. Speed Option, Load Option) work fine but on read option plays the QB will always keep the ball.

I play on all-madden.

Any help is appreciated...

Mine is exactly the same, speed options are the only ones that work as planned. I've almost completely given up on it. Every now and again I'll run a read option in practice hoping it'll work. But I don't think QB's scramble at all in coach mode sadly.

I've run read option and it seems to work fine. If you want the RB to get the ball, hold X (PS3) or A (360) from snapping and don't let go--and your RB gets the ball. If you want your QB to run, just snap and go with your QB.

I can't know pre-snap if I want my QB or RB to get the ball. That depends on how the read player (usually a DE) reacts directly after the snap.

If I keep holding X (PS3) after the snap, can I still react to the DE?

Look at defensive line to see where they are positioned. If you see someone on the outside "waiting" for you, just snap and let your RB go with it. It all depends how the defensive line is setup. If you are quick enough to read the defensive player, then react accordingly. This is for read option where you go outside and RB goes inside.
