When a player is hit and stumbles, but isn't brought down, the right stick will now allow him to do one of two things: Flicking back within a window of time (dependent on a player's rating) will recover his balance and continue the run. Pushing forward is a bailout maneuver that tells him to dive as far as he can. "If you're stumbling, and you see a safety bearing down on you, you'll probably want to dive rather than try to recover you balance and expose yourself to a huge hit," Richart explained. But if you get nicked and you're free in the defensive backfield, this can keep you in the play.
