If I remember right, EA mentioned on the blog that a play has to be 100% set up to take advantage of the feature.

So there's no point in checking the percentage, really. The play will flash when it's 100% set up, so no having to scroll over it. There's a green arrow beside it to highlight it.

I've had success with set up plays. I called a Triple Option Motion Pass with Florida today (in Varsity) and OU bit hard. I bombed it over the top and my receiver was open by a full five yards.

One more thing: You can easily tell which plays in your playbook are linked. There are little "chain links" between the play diagrams ...

the big key for me is to be successful runnning no matter if its chain or not then go away when they see the formation they will adjust. i got a first down on 3 and 10 because they were expecting the pass cause i passed on 3 and long the other three times

i totally agree. most of the time if you can establish the run you will be in position to win the game. problem for me is the only success i have on runs is jet sweeps and options occasionally.

They don't really work in the Demo...it comes off as more of a gimmick. I have been successful just using my running game in the past to open up my Passing game....just like real football.

you guys gotta understand that setup plays arent just automatic. The higher pct its setup, the better your chances are of it working but just because its 100% doesnt guarantee it will work. That would be a huge cheese and horribly unrealistic. If a defense has the right call to stop a certain play then its not going to work. So if you run a certain run and have it setup for the PA pass but the defense is playing a pass defense, chances are its not going to work.

Setup plays do work, ive had them work, then again its hard to tell if they worked because i set them up or i just made a good call.

oh trust me i know they are not automatic, nor do i want them to be. im just frustrated i havent seen one work yet when i have tried more than 20 times.
