Play Action Blocking

Even after the new update play action blocking is horrible D-Lineman breakthrough with no effort. It has been this way since this game series came back.

  • Takes the immersion out of the game.  Ok so i can run the ball for 200 yards by the 2nd or 3rd quarter get to a 3rd and 1 or a 2nd and short use the same run scheme that got me a bulk of those yards and add in a Play Action pass and LBs drop instantly and Im swarmed within seconds allowing the animation to play through.  I just hate thats part of the game.  Im a run the ball and play action guy myself and play actions have no impact on lbs or even every once in awhile a cb having his eyes in the backfield which does happen in real life.  I would kill for the setup play feature to come back like in Ncaa Football 13 and 14.  loved that feature and it wouldn't be a 100% touchdown everytime but the playstyle and effect of having postiive runs mattered in game.  Play action pass largely is unusuable now unless you RT your way out of the animation and sprint out immediately negating the timing and the actual play itself.  makes me sick.

    So they buffed defense against the run but left play action passes be 90% unusable still. 

    Good job EA
