Play Action Passes Broken?

[PhillyPhanatic14]

Has anyone else noticed that on every single PA pass the DE's magically wrap around the offensive tackles? It happens on every PA pass i've tried in multiple playbooks and the ratings of the o line and d line have nothing to do with it. Sometimes keeping a TE in will help, but usually that just makes the tackle stand there and do nothing.



Sorry if there's already a thread about this... My search function isn't working and I didn't see anything when making the title.

I understand your frustration, Hb Split screen are on the same boat, for the PA helps me quite a lot to raise high the passin blocking slider, false start and offensive holding too. Hope that helps you too.

Thanks man i'll try it out. I didn't mind it when my tackles were in the mid-70's but now i've got them both in the 90's and i don't understand how it's still a thing other than it being a bug. Maybe that big patch they're hyping up will fix it.

I'm at the point I honestly rarely call them. The predictability of PA and screen plays being utter garbage kills immersion.

A lot of the play action plays seem to result in the d-line getting right onto the qb. In one of my franchise files, I am playing with the Packers (3-3) and just lost Aaron Rodgers to another broken collarbone off of a hit from a play action pass.

Overall, the screen pass is pretty bad this year. Although recently it has seemed to be a bit better. Typically the D-Line is all over the running back out of the backfield and hits them for a loss.

I have way more success with play action passes then I do screen passes. I do agree that there are some issues with the play action passes but HB screens for me have been unusable. My blockers always let a defender or two just run my them with no attempts at making a block resulting in my RB getting tackled for a loss every time. I have had some some success with different WR screens.

My biggest issue with play action has been on PA Slide plays or plays where the QB rolls out. That seems to be an automatic sack almost every time. I have had some success with standard PA where I have time to throw it.

Yes, PA roolout are near automatic sacks play, and hb screens are ugly, they works pretty good in 18, i don't know why this year are broken, hope the next patch fix PA blocking and hb screen too
