It seems that everytime a play action is called there is more often than not a quick sack of the quarterback. On very rare occasions do I use it, and only when I know a sack is not going to hurt me too much, because I anticipate that there is a good chance that I will be sacked. Its success percentage is very low IMO.

odd my playaction is quite effective with a few adjustments...

well in my experience, and i use the raiders, whenever im planning on running a play action, i tend to send one of my guys in motion, or call a 'hot route' audible, to keep the defense on their toes....i do get sacked every now and then, but for the most part its fairly effective, especially inside the redzone.

the playaction would actually be a weapon online if they still had the "commit to run" or "commit to pass" feature on defense. I mean if you audibiled down your safties and then "commited to the run" against a good QB, it should open up 1 on 1 matchups across the board.

on the flip side is what it does to the D. how often do u see a RB who just got the playfake get tackled in the NFL? hardly ever, and if it does happen its just to take him out of the play. but, in Madden they can get hit 5 yards up field and its ridiculous. They really need to fix the whole play action affect.

I have loads of success with playaction today. You just have to know not to run it against all-out blitzes.

My only beef with playaction is that it works regardless of situation. As it works now, DBs will bite on playactions on 3rd and 20. DBs will bite on playactions even if you never run a single rushing play. This is hardly realistic.

its not as effective as i would like especially against the fake blitz audible. if someone wants to use the audible all game long this would help in stopping it. with all those guys on the line players should bite then draws would be effective too since they wouldnt always crowd the line
