All of a sudden, on play action fakes, RPOs and screens, I'm getting called for illegal man downfield on at least 60-75% of those plays. And it's not just one linemen doing it, it varies from person to person.
Any idea why this is happening? Anyone have any tips to get this to stop? Is it tied to OL awareness? Something else?
It's EA's way of trying to discourage players from running cheesy plays.
With the screens, you're not supposed to hold the ball, as the offensive linemen expect to run upfield after a specified count.
it's been happening all year on play action. it has nothing to do with discouraging cheese. EA devs are braindead. it's been like this literally since day 1
I mean for years, and still even currently, defense getts flagged for "illegal contact" even AFTER a pass is completed AND a blocker attacked YOU. If they are too lazy to fix that, i hope every rpo/screen etc gets flagged for illegal man downfield. Balance.
