Question regarding play art

[bg_izzle]

I'm new to this community but have been looking at a lot of the great info in this forum. Can someone answer a question for me? If I'm playing online, if I use the play art feature to see the routes pre snap, does my opponent see it as well? I'm new to madden so I don't know all the plays like the back of my hand. Thanks.

No they can't see it. They can't see any thing you do except. for when audibiling the quarterback makes line signals and some players may move around.

Thanks that's great news because I'm used to playing head to head and I never used the play art. But now I can call any play and use the play art to rehearse the play in my head pre snap. Thanks dscola1974!!

Be careful... Getting used to looking at the play art will create a habit that can get you in trouble if you take too much time making adjustments. Beware of Delay penalties. Everytime you check the play art you lose a second or more in which you could be making adjustments.

You're right...I have to be quick with it. I'm used to the accelerated clock so I don't really audible (except for formation audibles) much. But sometimes I'll pick a play for 1 or 2 routes. When I get to the line I might not remember the other 2 routes. That's when the play art will come in handy.
