It makes it so I cannot even attempt a deep ball even when it is wide open like that, because they will just become superman for a second and jump over my 6'5" wideout. EDIT: Just had to rage quit because the game decided to take an un-pressured pass to a wide open receiver 20 yards down field and underthrow it only to lob it 5 yards downfield right at a defender nowhere close to where I was looking. c'mon man.

Been my main complaint and this happens in online play every game, now its more noobs (xmas gift players) its a lil better but i give it a week!

What plays are being called on your end to where these big runs are happening? I'm 17-8 ranked with four of those due to disconnects on my end and I've dominated a lot of these guys. Not giving up big runs. I critiqued the game pretty damn hard in my review but I'm not giving up a lot of big runs. The game makes you sacrifice a great deal, but all I can say is, look at the plays and find ones that have a force player on the edge and a spiller from the middle. You control a player opposite of that and if the run is away from your force and spill then you gotta crash to your side. What this does is force you to sacrifice your coverage or spots in your coverage all the time to stop the run because these things are not built into the basic coverages. I don't like it but that's the game they built

Yeah, I have tried everything except stooping to their levels of play, but it almost every offtackle run or a counter to where they would pause as the ball is being handed off and switch directions and the blocking is like perfect.

On defense, its one and done from their, I had one opponent have his mlb come thru untouched every play, runs and all leaving me with a sec to throw if that. I was 50-23 but not since last week or so when things started feeling and playing like current gen.

Was he running 1-5-5? I played a guy doing that last night and ended up winning 17-0 although he quit with under a minute left. He was running 1-5-5 and there were a couple of plays that were tough. One had the MLB up the middle every time. The other had him manually run with the Safety down the middle every time. See I don't mind this. What I mind is EA's FALSELY ADVERTISED features. This is where we as the user should be identifying the damn MIKE. But we have no control over that.

Wow, I haven't played the game since the first week of release. Just never felt it .

Game is just ok, it’s completely unacceptable for a Next Gen game.. It doesn’t stand up to any other titles when it comes to graphics and innovation.. Just a better looking port with a couple of upgrades. Something I think they could have done on last gen… EA really needs some competition or we’ll keep getting the minimum every year…

Personally, I have been having a blast playing this game.

No, I ran across that weeks ago, it was the 1-5-5 shake. Did alright against it but I would rather face that than whats been going on lately. I hope to find someone with some sim like strategy to help me out.
