25 New Plays Coming to NCAA Football 12 - Play #25: Slot Pivot

[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 #25 features the Slot Pivot.

"Shotgun Quads Trio Slot Pivot – is a play that’s designed to put a horizontal stretch in the underneath coverage of zone defenses. The inside receiver closest to the formation runs a shallow cross while the next receiver to his right runs a pivot route. Those two routes going in opposite directions creates a natural void in zones for the dig route that’s ran by the next receiver over in the formation."

Does anybody know if these 25 new plays are the only new plays going into the game, or are there more but we're only seeing 25 for now? The reason I ask... and I hate to keep beating a dead and buried horse... but another year w/ out the Shovel Pass???

NFL 2K5 had the Shovel Pass in their game, which means it was in during the 2004 season. Here we are in 2011 and still no Shovel Pass? Come on EA, I know you guys read these boards... if you can have option plays you can have the Shovel Pass. If it's in the game... right?

Here, once more, is a Shovel Pass in action...

How do you know they're adding more than 25?

I 100% believe that the blog coming up will be a Presentation blog. Presentation blogs are usually one of the first blogs released(like Madden). Since they're releasing the cover, they might believe that it will be enough info for 1 week(Even though it was obvious that MArk Ingram will win). The big info will come on the draft week like MAdden.

because EA stated that day 1(someone asked and EA replied with there are more than 25, they are just "spotlighting" 25).

also, considering a lot of these new plays are in new formations, it's easy to see that there will be more than 25.

EA proves they know nothing about football again. A dig route is this "pivot" route they've created. The other route they're talking about is just a crossing route, no special name for it.

The pivot route is where the receiver fakes the slant then immediately runs like an out pattern towards the sideline.

All teams have different names for everything. While obviously there is a lot of overlap, this is hardly proof EA know nothing about football.

For example, what most teams/people call a "pivot" (a receiver runs an slight angle in, then turns over 180 degrees to run an out) the patriots call a "return". EDIT - In fact this is exactly what it looks like A is doing in the play art, although we can't tell which way he is turning until we see a video of the play.

Thats the route I'm talking about. Every terminology I've ever heard has called that route a dig. At the very least, the highlighted route that EA calls a "dig" isn't one. I guess I could be wrong, but on any team I've ever played for/camp I've been to, that pivot route has been called a dig.
