Due to the unrealistic nature (i.e risk/reward factor) of the QB scrambling in the game, some rules have been set to keep this aspect of the game "sim". Although most folks are good about this, it helps to have some established guidelines so no game ends in controversy. We may revisit this next season if/when Sega dumbs down the QB rushing in the roster updates (the VC guys are apparently looking into this). For now, this is LAW
- You are only allowed 3 "non-pressure" (i.e no pass rush which would end in a sack) scrambles per game. (
ProTip: If you find yourself constantly getting pressured, try hot blocking with some WRs and TEs in addition to your RB and FB)
- These scrambles
HAVE to be actual QB designed running plays. So you're limited to QB draw, sneak and rollout. If your team has any option plays, they can only be used with QBs who would realistically run the option. Rolling out of a 4-wide formation is
NOT considered a designed QB running play.

If you do face pressure and common sense says it'll be a sack, by all means get out of there but you can only run as far as the first down. Slide or run out of bounds after that. Scrambling under pressure does not count towards your "3 runs" so that's a chance an overly aggressive defense will have to take.
