25 New Plays Coming to NCAA Football 12 - Play #6: Shotgun Twin TE Slot PA Slide

[Steve_OS]

Over the next few weeks, EA Sports will show 25 new plays that you will find in NCAA Football 12.

New offensive plays will be shown every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while a new defensive play every Tuesday and Thursday. Each new play will be accompanied by a screen of the play art and a brief description of why the play has been added to NCAA Football 12.

Play #6 features the Shotgun Twin TE Slot PA Slide.

"Shotgun Twin TE Slot PA Slide – This is a play action boot pass that has two deep crossing receivers and one receiver, usually a TE, who slides under the line of scrimmage and in the flat. Oregon likes to use this play once they get near their opponent’s red zone. They’re usually successful at getting the ball to one of the crossing receivers for a big play."

Hopefully we can get the play action without being sacked

I can see how I would change this play. I would send the TE (A) on a streak rather than keeping him in to block. I would send X WR on a streak. This way the streak would clear out things for Y against man and zone and both streaks can pull the linebackers off the crossing route in zone as well as be options against certain zones.

I'm not trying to be a debbie downer or nothing, but I bet ya this play doesn't work like it's supposed to lol. There's quite a few plays that looks like this in 11, but it don't work like it should. Looking closely at the play art, I'm willing to bet, the TE and RB run into each other at some point. That was the case for a play similar to this in 11.

As long as the play action is fixed next year, this will be a good addition.

I actually like misdirection(the TE in this case) plays like this. They're good against both the CPU and human opponent.

Can't wait to see this in action

If this is for '12, an con't issue will happen.

According to the playart, the linemen are immediately dropping back into Pass Pro instead of blocking down like a read play blocking scheme does.

Playaction is suppose to look like a run 1st, which means the blocking scheme should mimmick a run.

Again, I wish there was some communication with the community leading up to this point, as it seems like again, the little things that hurt the game may not be addressed again.

Madden did a decent job of this.
When Manning or QB with great playaction rating did playaction, it really looked like a run play.

Oh, well.

Also, Cover 2 is so screwed up with this play

Will the Oline block with PA plays? will the running backs Attack the defender blitzing in? Nice play Please make them block correctly.

looking at that video just makes you notice so much the things EA is missing from getting the college experience. Hopefully they were improved on this year. Things like the crowd being louder, reacting to situations better, the marching bands (even though we have to add our own music but how about an update on that), the broadcast camera, the speed the player's legs move and how their bodies move when running. I recently started playing the current game again and i'm getting back into that college football mode where i cant wait for the season to start and i'm just hoping they didn't sit back and take it easy because of the praise they received for last year's effort and i hope they blow us away again this year.

Look at how quickly he goes from making the fake to throwing the ball. There are two problems with running this type of play action in the current version of NCAA FB. First, there's a delay between faking and being able to throw it. Adding an extra second onto that play in the actual game would lead to disaster. The second problem is the auto-blitz on every PA play. I can call play action from any formation at any point in the game or place on the field and 90% of the time the defense knows it and I get blitzed by the computer. Combine the delay with a psychic blitz and it's not even worth calling the play to begin with.

Also, look at the way the line shifts over to the left with the PA, and he has either room to run or pass. Also, one more thing that game forgets is how to set up the play. USC got burned on that play because Oregon set up the run, and came back and owned them.
