Counter runs. Have always loved these in past games but can't get them to work in the demo or NCAA 14. The unblocked defender doesn't really get kicked out. It's too cluttered inside of him and if i try and bounce it he usually comes off the block and tackles me for a loss.

same for me. I'd say for Quick Pitch plays, I might have a 2% success rate on those too. lol If that!

Nothing "quick" about those pitches lol. Only run pitches around the goal line

Really?

I thought the counter run was probably the most overpowered play in the run game last year.


The toss play is something I'll only call in a specific situation, like 4th and inches when I see the D sell out inside. Otherwise, I find it just doesn't work with enough success to be worth the risk of losing yards.

Counters work for me just fine.

The pitch plays are DOA. I never call them. You are better off doing a power run off the tackle.

Reverses don't seem effective but I guess they work about as much as they do in real life.

The WR screen has been killed. It use to work pretty well but now it rarely works at all.

I second the quick pitch plays never working. Also dont work well in NCAA 14. As for as counters they work, but not the best it could. Defender isnt kicked out correctly and causes the runner to cut inside hard and that gives time for the line backers to come in.

I agree! either the Wr screen is covered or when the defender is backed he is all of a sudden granted super human to get to the WR to tackle him or pick off or deflect the pass
