Handoff animation faster in '12?

[Bengals28]

Sorry if this has been addressed but has the spread option handoff or fake handoff I should say been sped up at all? I know especially in the pistol the animation was super slow. Anybody know?

They do have a new play action animation out of base sets so hopefully they have new ones for the shotgun.

Do you have experience with this (like as a community tester or whatever)? I'd love to know whether they tweaked the handoff timing or worked on the blocking and DL awareness too.

Seems like in previous years the DL/blitzing LBs would almost always hit the faking RB - thereby buying your QB some time. In NCAA 11 they would just fly by the RB and cream the QB. Which would even be acceptable if your opponent on defense (or CPU on an obvious passing down) had called pass commit - just not every single PA play.

I agree with the comments on the Pistol. I love the concepts of the offense but you can never properly run it because of how slow developing the plays are.

Have any of you had, or played someone who had success with the Pistol?

I saw it in one of the preview videos here Ben Haumiller is playing the game.

Agreed the play action and all spread option plays were horrible last year.

that would be great, I hate getting sacked every single play action.

Yes play-action in just about all formations were broken last year I've heard the developers say in a video that this has been fixed, but their definition of fixed and ours might be two different things so we'll see

Triple option plays were so bad in '11 lol. Only good for handing off the FB on the goal line.
