Screens have been hit or miss for me. I've had a few go for good yardage (+20) but many more where I'm taken down behind the line. Or worse yet, my receiver catches the ball in the open but as he turns to head upfield, the animation has him skating in place while defenders close on him like homing missiles before he gets creamed.

Finding also that it's important to mix up play calling. The D picks up on overused plays and shuts them down much better than in previous Maddens. I usually call 3-4 screens per game and that's about it. Of those, I'm lucky if 2 get positive yardage but I have busted some huge gainers so they do work if executed.
