A friend pointed this out to me and I used it 16 times in two games, just to see how well it would work. I went 14 of 16 for around 90-100 yards. Longest gain was 16 yards. Worst was a completion for no gain. Twice the DT knocked it down. I found it works great against a 3-3-5 defense.

I disagree. It seems to me it depends on how close you are. If you're less than 5 yards away from the receiver and the receiver is looking at the QB it seems to trigger the shovel pass. I ran HB Mid Screen 7 times in a row and only once did I see the animation because only once did I not have to wait for defenders to clear for the screen to set up. That was my experience anyway. Effective play though.
