Is Play Action useless in this game?

[akacesfan]

I'm only asking because it seems like every time I try a PA pass, I get sacked 2-3 second after the snap and I literally have no time to throw the ball. I'm playing on AA, but this is ridiculous. It happens. Every. Single. Time. It's really annoying.

I haven't had issues with it. Try running run plays, using it in short yardage situations, etc.

That's the thing. I'm a run first offense, but it seems like every single time I try and break out the PA, a random lineman will just run through and sack my QB literally 2-3 seconds after the snap. It's getting to the point where I'm abandoning the PA.

Hmm, check your o-line ratings, if they are bad at blocking that won't help, that or adjust sliders, I use default AA for PBK and CPU Break block and I only get sacked 1-4 times a game behind Massachusetts line.

Edit: Do you sprint out of the PA, try to get outside the tackles, etc?

PA is absolutely not useless.

I've had some long touchdowns going over the top on play action.

Yeah, you get sacked more than you probably should. But it's not useless.

Make sure the CPU isn't "jumping the snap" when you hike the ball. Mix up your snap count.

You can hold RT while the play action is going on to pass quicker. I've done this and have avoided a lot of sacks.

That's the problem, I literally can't do anything. I do tend to mix up my offense, but whenever I try PA, the QB will step out after the fake hand off and get sacked.
