Is it true that spamming protect ball makes you faster?

Or just a myth

bucsallday18

Definitely does not

It doesn't make you faster, but it messes up the pursuit angle of CPU players. Also it somehow makes you more elusive to shoe string tackles.

It definitely does not make you faster. Some believe it “messes up” the “lock on” pursuit angle of the trailing defender.

It looks really dumb and there’s no chance a ball carrier in real life could change hands that frequently. It would actually likely result in a fumble. I’m surprised it wasn’t addressed in the new game mechanics similar to how flipping a play or audibling too much will now cause linemen to false start.

If the pros says it does, alot of guys will do it.

It looks cool but I don’t think it does anything

It’s a myth that try-hards think is real

I guess pros who do it for a living are try hards ?

Of course they're try-hards. They run all game without barely passing. Don't try and defend those cheesing nerds, though I don't put anything past you.

I’m not defending anyone why would I have to ? It’s there job lol I’m just saying if they do it there’s a reason no it doesn’t make you run faster that’s been tested. But its supposed to mess up the pursuit of the cpu weather it does or doesn’t I can’t confirm

Yea I’m always seeing the pros do it

That explains what these dudes are doing I play when they get a breakaway run.

Has anybody actually claimed that it makes you run faster? It does not.

EPS1234

It’s doesn’t make you run faster some believe ie messes up the pursuit of the defenders in pursuit

Myth 100''%

In my experience it doesn't exactly make you "faster" but often messes with the tackle A.I mechanics and when trailing leads to more of those "tail rider" animations which we all know is cheese. But pros still run it so imo it doesn't hurt unless it truly makes it harder for you to control the stick.
