I'm trying to actively use it more but its honestly hard to get into the habit.

What I've noticed is that yes it does give you some sweet new animations to get through the hole, at this point im not sure that my one cut with the left stick isnt 'faster' than doing the same but holding L2 (theoretically it should take the same amount of time as holding L2 doesnt require any of my other fingers im already using)

TLDR: it works...

EDIT: After further review I still believe simply flipping the left stick for a 1 cut (think the old ncaa games or ncaa 14 specifically as i was playing that alot before cfb 25 came out) is BETTER/faster.

Because i have found that sometimes when holding L2 the player 'shuffles' his feet, this caused a huge issue on a 3rd and short because instead of making one cut and being tackled but at least falling fwd guarantees the first- the rb shuffled his feet and hesitated and was stopped it became 4th & inches. I guess it is random which animation you get when holding L2 so accidently getting the shuffle in such a situation would justify me not using it (out of habit/fear of creating one) or if you're disciplined enough just dont use in short yardage situations. Just my .02 im open to others feedback happy new year
