I've been on elusive all season, and despite people saying it sucks, I've felt it has really been good for my build, and my HB can pull it off. I used to be on my own team though, and we used to rarely use pitches...mostly Off-tackle and Inside runs. I recently joined another team and have been getting pitches more often. I noticed on a lot of them, my HB has the opportunity to break out for a long run, but he cuts back in after he gets around the corner right into the defender

Some examples:

It's actually set up some pretty cool looking jukes like in the last replay, but I'd much rather have the TD

So is this a vision thing...or just elusive running?

I think it is just elusive running. When I tried elusive with my back, rather than attack holes he would get near the line, do a lateral hop, then continue forward. This caused his usual 4-6 yd runs to turn into 1-2 yd runs.

Yeah my HB does that sometimes too, but I kinda like it, because it works out in his favor a lot of the time.

Plus, I honestly think Elusive helps a lot whereas when using combo, my back tends to run right into the tackle.

Also my back wouldn't do awesome stuff like this if I wasn't on elusive:
