So is Play Action fixed or what??

[moylan1234]

I"m really not at all wrong jared and plenty of others agree. it's time to grow up and just deal with the fact that not everyone has the same game experience as you.

why come to a board like this if you can't respect other people's point of view?

Heh, well the good news is regardless of everyone's opinion about 11, it seems this poll (despite a leading question!) is showing the majority think PA works fine in this year's game. Woot!

On that last part, the QB taking slightly too long to do the play action animation I will agree it needed tweaked. However I don't feel the game was broke at all in regards to DBs biting on play action, you just had to run enough to set it up.

For those who believe that the feature was broke and PA should "work" keep this in mind: I used to play in a dynasty with a guy who would pass 50-55 times a game and never run but maybe once or twice, or none at all. Probably 90% of his passes were play action passes and the majority of them worked really well in fooling the defense.

It used to aggravate me to no end that the game would be so dumb as to have the defense believe time and time again that the QB might hand off the ball when he had not done so all game. There was nothing quite like the feeling of aggravation when he would be in 3rd and 25 and run PLAY ACTION and it would work gloriously. Like any defense in their right mind would be expecting a run in that down and distance!!

THAT is when PA was BROKEN my friends!! But I never heard hardly anyone complain about it because they either a) didn't care b) didn't notice or c) abused the heck out of it.

So given the choice between it being "broken" as to how it used to be and "broken" as to how it was in 11 I will take 11's version of it any day!!

Nope, by that logic when millions say Britney Spears has great music that would make her music great. Guess what? It's not...

Odogg...are you serious man?

It doesn't matter how the defense reacts to it when 9 out of 10 PA passes against the CPU result in sacks. THAT IS BROKEN.

There is a reason why I so rarely see PA passes in online games either, it is TOO RISKY, it shouldn't be so risky to run a simple PA play. If they DBs dont bite, they dont bite, but I shouldn't be getting sacked every single freaking time.

You guys are wrong. Fact

BTW - as Moylan pointed out there is no option for those of us who believed it to be unbroken in the first place so I'm going to go ahead and vote "Yes its fixed" despite my belief this poll was completely leading in how it was setup. There most definitely should have been an option of "It was never broke to begin with" for those of us who feel that way to get a truly accurate sampling of OS's feelings about the issue.

This is spot on. I had the same type of player in my OD. I know that feeling.

9 out of 10 FOR YOU!!! why is it so difficult to figure out that we don't all share your experience? do you honestly believe that me and others have nothing better to do with our time then lie about video games on an internet forum? again show some respect
