I can't make heads of tails of it. Has anyone else had a different experience with "pass"?
It's worked pretty good for me using the theory that many Madden players are used to rolling out of the pocket to avoid pressure. The "pass" d-line audible plays contain so if anyone tries to roll out, they roll into pressure. If they roll back deeper to avoid that, it really screws up the routes and the timing, leading to a greater percentage of the play winding up in the defense's favor. I have yet to see or play someone who actually steps up in the pocket, so I haven't been burned up the middle yet as far as that's concerned.
