I would prefer to see a guy beat a block by getting penetration or sliding buy rather than simply run a guy over. I think its overdone personally but it does add another dimension to playing with a lineman.

In all the games I played so far (like 6) I have done the jumpthe snap but never have I seen the defender knock the o-line on his back like that. Only time I seen that was wen I did it and it was before the snap...I usually use the jumpthesnap button and either the swim move or rip move at the same time and get great results wen timed right.

I've only played 5 games myself but I would say when I do get the early jump, I probably knock the OL down about 50% of the time (AA default, PS2). I usually only play as a defensive lineman on obvious passing downs and even when I knock them down, a RB or other OL tends to help out so I'm not amassing huge totals here. I simply think when I jump the snap right, it should help me shoot the gap better, not just knock them down (and too much at that). I'll also add I can do this against OL who are rated higher than the DL I'm controlling. I just think it needs to be toned down.

On 360 jump the snap, I have not seen any offensive linemen get pancaked. I've seen defensive linemen use their moves better because they get the jump, but no pancakes.

Same here, no pancakes on the offensive linemen. I like this feature as it does have alot of risk and reward. If you are late on jumping the snap, the offensive linemen will dominate you through the whole play.

Well after deciding to use the "jump the snap" feature, all I can say is that it is pure cheese. I played on heisman and got 11 sacks for the game!!! I "jump the snap" every play and get a great jump almost everytime. I have not got called for offsides once. I thought this feature was supposed to be challenging. You don't even have to have great timing to get a "good jump". This feature is ******** and I can see this getting out of hand when I play online. None of you have noticed the cheese in this?

I agree that is can be far too effective. Another gripe of mine is that the CPU is also far too skilled in jumping the snap.
