Classic example of Madden logic going completely against common football logic.
I haven't had any problem with plays to the outside (not counting counter). Power-O, Toss, Stretch, Sweep are all money with Felix Jones. I'll definitely give a try with counter. Haven't had much luck with it and delay'd handoffs, but then I can't think of a game where a delay ever really worked well.
