In co-op, I think you press the juke button to lateral if you're the QB.

I'm not sure how to do it in the open field.

Does this game have a tournament mode, where you could set up a tournament of like 4 or 8 teams and control them all?

Mods just a thought, but can you replace this Blitz forum with the old Blitz the league forum? This one looks like its going to need it. Just a thought.

Not for online. You must use the code!

I've played 3 games online and I've had passing icons all without using codes.

Go to help & options, settings gameplay settings and turn icon passing on.

I managed to put in a pirtate code on my first guess so that was something.
No GRONK! Not cool.

The controls are awful. Every critical situation seems to have the screwy AI kick in. Particularly with the targeting. The targeting is poor in general but 3rd & Goal? Good luck. Also enjoyed watching Justin Tuck run down a wide open Welker (they blitzed) using turbo that had at least a 15 yard lead. There's arcade then there's ridiculous. Perhaps the best one was when I was playing as the 49ers where instead of throwing it downfield to the wide open Crabtree it's thrown to Gore who is behind the line. Out of curiousity I attempted to target Crabtree again and throw it with Gore. Gore threw it back to Alex Smith. Also of note is the lack of throwing the ball when you're about to get sacked. It'll make the motion but the ball won't come out. Not an issue for the AI,if they try to throw they get it off. Even in about 0.5 seconds. The only bit of fun was returning a punt with Patrick Willis. See you can't really tell who you're picking on defense,you can't even play as the linemen btw and I had called a normal play expecting them to go for it on 4th & 2 at the 40 or so and because it's very difficult to tell one player from another I ended up with Willis back there.

Finally I only played the trial and wouldn't buy this gar-bagé anyway but was expecting to be offered a discount with the season ticket,there wasn't one. NASCAR and NHL 13 have their hands full to compete for the worst of the year already!
