Re: So is Play Action fixer or what??

It worked fine me in 11 and it worked fine for me again on the demo for 12.

You have to chain the plays and set it up properly with the run. Like IRL.

It is fine. And it will not work if the defense is not repecting your run. And sometimes they call a run blitz and catch you so you need to be able to audible out of the PA.

It's a myth that it was ever not working on 11.

My 2 cents.

It definitely did not work for me in '11. The blockers frequently allowed a free rusher through, and with a long animation you'd be sacked more often then not before the pass icons even came up.

As for the '12 demo, it seems to work a lot better. The delay before you can throw seems much shorter, which makes it more viable IMO.

No I dont think it is fixed. I get sacked or hit as I'm throwing it 9 out of 10 times on the PA .

It's wayy better than last year. I've been sacked a few times, but have gotten the defenders to bite on the fake to go.. *whoop* over the top - touchdown.

Re: So is Play Action fixed or what??

The PA is actually a viable option, unlike 11 where you would have a guy in your face within a split second of turning around.

I have been able to pull off the PA with pretty good success. The PA seems much better this year, at least in the demo.

I dont know why people keep saying this. I respect your opinion but come on. So the other 99 percent of us are wrong?

Maybe you were playing on varsity, maybe you had USER pass blocking slider upped, I dont know, but for those of us whoi played with legit sliders PA was very broken.

Watch a real football game, count how often they run PA, watch how fast the QB fakes the handoff and rears to throw. PA should work more than a couple times a game. NCAA 11 had it WRONG

Re: So is Play Action fixed or what??

Its a small sample size of only 15 plays of me as Texas vs Oregon but I was only sacked one single time. Hurried maybe five times as a whole. Maybe.

YOu know I should have stated it better. When I did the PA roll out...it worked great. But yeah PA drop back had some issues last year. I agree.
