    25 New Plays Coming to Madden NFL 12 - Play #12: PA Y-Drag Wheel


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

    To be clear, there are more than 25 new plays in the game. Each day, a new play will be accompanied by a screen of the play art and a brief description of why the play has been added to Madden NFL 12.

    Play #12 features the PA Y-Drag Wheel.

    "Raiders - Ace Slot Pair - PA Y-Drag Wheel - This is a play that several teams have added to their playbooks over the past season. The TE will run a drag route across the field away from the booting QB and then turn up the field on a wheel route. In this version, the Raiders used this play to perfection for a 43 yard TD pass from QB Jason Campbell to TE Zach Miller in a week 7 game at Denver."

      That's a user safety killer right there.

          Man with a pump fake and a good OL, this play will do damage.

            That's a really long throw to hit the Y on the wheel, it needs to be wide open. The Redskins had a 70 yd pass to Fred Davis on the same play last year where no one covered him.

              Haha I'm loving alot of these new plays with drag routes underneath and all. Alot of these new plays with drag routes are going to be money plays people will use online to gain hugh chunks of yards. But I love this play and it will be going into my Custom Playbook when I get the game in August.

                Going to need a strong armed QB to make this throw and the saftey is going to have to bite hard on either the PA or the crossing/post routes.

                If PA is fixed this year and the OL can block this play could be 6 points no problem but if the OL are still revolving doors on PA then could be trouble

                  Yea that is one of my biggest fears right now is the oline blocking. The oline blocking in madden 11 is decent. But the AI on the oline seems to always be confused half the time when it comes to blocking certain players. I'm hoping this will be one of the things they work on this year is the oline blocking. Do I want the oline to hold blocks for a long time. No I don't but I would love to see the oline do a better job at blocking when it comes to PA and while in shotgun formation.

                    Word of advice: you may have to keep one of those receivers in to block. I've noticed this works wonders in Madden.

                      Going to need a good line to hold up for enough time to make that drag route pass. If someone isn't usering the safety and you have a speedy wideout, you could probably throw it deep every time without a problem.

                      Note you'll probably have to audible into the play from the line for that strategy to be effective because you can't sub WR's at TE.

                        Great point. Unless you have Vernon Davis, you'll probably have to audible this play w/ a full WR set.

                          Wheel routes took forever to run in Madden 11, even with a fast WR.

                          I can only imagine how slow this route would be with a TE.

                          Route running in general is just too slow in Madden.

                            Yeah if you run this playt and have Chad Pennington as your QB, then there is something wrong upstairs, either that or you're trying to pad his INT stats.

                              for all you guys who are concerned about the time it takes for the wheel route to develop all u need to do is motion him to the left.
