Has a WR Screen or reverse EVER worked?!

[ps2baseball]

in Madden?

I am pretty good with he offense, and don't really have a problem running the ball at all, but I can get WR screens/reverses to work fo the life of me. I catch the ball on a scree and BOOM, I am instantly tackled. Even if the def is in zone.

My first game i took a Wr screen 70+ yrds for a TD, they work but dont give big yards all the time

how do you hand the ball off to the WR ?

some playbooks have designed WR reverses. they work just like a regular running play. I got a nice 7 yard game with Donald Driver after running 60+ yards on 10 carries to the right side with Ahman Green.

As for the WR screen, I've only thrown 2. The first was incomplete and the 2nd got me 4 yards. Good enough for me.

I scored a 16yd TD with Booker last night on a screen. They work, just not all the time.

Very true; you have to call them in the right situation, not to mention your players have to execute the play. A little luck doesn't hurt either.

Personally, I have never gotten the WR Screen to work, but I've broken off quite a number of long runs on timely WR Reverse playcalls over the past two or three Madden games (this one included). The WR End-Around is also a nice play that my friend uses, but I don't have it in my playbook.

I run HB screens all the time! They're always vicious in two player games!

I've also run a few WR screens for TD's about 50+ yds.... like has been said, they aren't very successful, you have to hope you get a few key block and have a speedy/quick receiver.
