Too much play action?

[PurpleGold Zoso]

So I play the games and most of the time I use Ask Corso for my offensive plays, anyway this year more than other years it seems like his only suggestions are runs and play action passes. Also a lot of the same plays pop up play after play. Does anyone else notice this or is it just because of the playbook I use. I have used ECU and LSU.

Re: Too much play action?

I would agree.
The amount and number of play action plays is far too much.

I never understand some of the basic design errors that EA makes year after year.
It seems that there must be very limited testing because obvious errors do not seem to be caught.

Re: Too much play action?

Solution would be to not use ask Corso, anything that he recommends as far as plays normally are useless.

Re: Too much play action?

I ask Corso mostly so I dont just choose one play over and over again, idk its something that Ive pretty much always done.

Re: Too much play action?

I use Corso a bit also in my offline dynasties. But I make myself choose one of the 4 plays shown instead of having to use the specific one shown.
I also sometimes do it by quarter. 1st quarter I have to pick from top row, 2nd quarter I have to pick from the 2 on the right, 3rd = bottom 2 and 4th quarter any of the 4.

Just to switch it up ....

Re: Too much play action?

I also ask Corso most of the time and 3 of the 4 plays on the screen are playaction every time. this is one of the first things i noticed and couldnt believe how over the top it was. im thinking this is all because of the whole "linking plays" thing. like always, EA comes up with a new feature or animation, and instead of just casually adding it to the game they go total overkill with it and make it happen every time so they can say, "look we added something new!!"

Re: Too much play action?

What's weird is why he tells you to do a Fake Punt Pass while pinned back off your own 5.

Thanks for the tip, Corso!

yeah especially since it seems he recommends the same plays over and over again. I pretty much ignore the ask corso feature

Re: Too much play action?

I have always used the Ask Corso and Ask Madden features. I just don't want to dive into a deep playbook. If the game would let me break down plays into a custom playbook, such as "use X and Y plays on 3rd and 5+", etc., then I would bother jumping into the playbook.

Usually Ask Corso does an okay enough job of selecting a group of good plays for the down and distance. This year it is really bad though. If you scroll through all the pages, outside of 3rd and really long, its all play action passes and runs. I've tried 4 different playbooks so far to make sure, but it doesn't matter. Also, because he's mainly ONLY recommending play action passes (and runs), he suggests the same plays all the time, since most teams playbook don't contain a majority of passes being play action.

I'm assuming it's either PA off the jet sweep, or the animation where the quarter back fakes a sneak.

They are actually useful if executed at the right time.

Is there a good NFL style playbook in the NCAA game?? Cause i really get tired of using so much play action??

Yep and so far its roughly 70% of the time he'll call for a fake punt or if in range a fake FG. If EA really wants to be total sim and no cheese they might want to look into the code for Corso...

Anyways it's easy enough to not use his suggestions.

Re: Too much play action?

My favorite was when I was on Georgia's 25 yd line with three seconds left tie game and Corso suggested I do a fake fg?!?! I guess it is kind of realistic since Corso is a huge moron in real life.
