Summarize your bug Cancelling play action in shotgun formation does not work. That means when a team blitzes, the QB continues to carry out the play action and gets sacked.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? That’s your job to know. Not mine. Madden 19 and 18 had this feature. Pretty bad that 20 does not...
What happens when the bug occurs? Already told you.
What do you expect to see? A change ASAP. Shouldn’t have to waste my time even creating this thread.

Summarize your bug Madden 19 provided the QB to cancel ALL play action plays. For some reason, you can’t cancel play action while in shotgun. Thus, I’m allowing the defense’s pursuit to sack my QB because the QB has no sense of urgency to throw the ball. Most play action passes under center allows us to still cancel the play action. Shotgun though is unable to do it. Also, I’ve noticed the past 3-4 years you can no longer hot route ANY player when calling ANY screen play. Not sure why that would be since older maddens allowed us to do this. I also chose the Jets Throwback 60’s Jersey’s only to have them change to a glitched out (ugly) Bucs current jerseys with Jets helmets and blue pants. Never experienced such problems with the set up of a madden game. I choose another stadium to play a friend online in and it remains, to my opponent, as the original team’s field.

What happens when the bug occurs? What I said above.
What do you expect to see? I expect out of a 2019 game to make changes and learn from past mistakes. That hasn’t been the case in my opinion. Finding more issues with gameplay than ever before. Don’t get me started with the inefficiencies of franchise mode and draft classes. Should take a page out of 2k’s notebook, might learn a thing or two?

    @NLVikingLT69 

    Thank you for the bug report! We haven't really seen any reports of this and it's strange you're still being forced to do a Play Action pass out of shotgun. 

    Which specific formation are you in and does it happen for all play action passes in that formation when you audible to another play?

    Can you attach a clip of this happening? When you go to the line of scrimmage, do you press "X" and then select a non "PA" or "RPO" play from the options?
