Is pump faking too strong on this game?

[haze56]

It sometimes almost feels too easy

If you up the pass rush slider you wont have that much time to be pump faking, that will make it more difficult.

Sliders should do the trick.

Of course, we could just ask for a patch to fix the pump fake. (I kid, I kid)

In one thread we've got guys talking about DBs "mirroring" WRs to the point that passing is too hard; in another we've got guys talking about the pump-fake makes passing too easy.

Just pointing that out.

In my opinion/experience "too easy" is hyper-relative: sliders, difficulty level, length of game, on top of the gamer's stick skills, the phrase almost doesn't even have any meaning.

I mean, bottom line, if you really think it makes things too easy, stop doing it.

In the midst of all the Chicken Little threads/posts, this was a welcoming read.

pump faking is NOT easy on this game
2 reasons
1.Gameplan can always make zone coverage and pass defense balanced or conservative making the pump fake's effect minimal if not non existent
2.the pressure on this game can really be nasty so after you've pump faked then throw it could really be too late
ALONG WITH PSYCHIC man coverage idk how anyone feels the pump fake is too strong if you've been playing with pressure/ coverages I've been facing

I've yet to see a defender 'bite' on my pump fakes.

The defender you should see biting are the safeties in deep zone coverage.

In a cover 1, for example, the single safety should bite. In cover 2, a pump fake left-ish should make the left safety bite, freeing up some space in the middle (but the right safety should stay home).

In cover 3, you should see the center safety bite, and the side safeties bite a little depending on where you threw it.

Also, against a zone D is when you see the most bites.
