Mtn Double Pass GONE?!!!!!!

Hey all, this post is more thinking out loud than anything I suppose. First year MUT player here and having seen all the buzz about the double pass my curiosity got the best of me. 

Sure enough, in the Tampa playbook in practice mode, there it was, the infamous double pass......

So I practiced it. Then I decided to see if it really would help with someone like me behind the sticks vs someone with skills, so I hopped on one of the All Star Run games. 

Low and behold, once in game the fabled, hated Mtn Double Pass was GONE from my playbook. Imagine my horror....LMAO. 

I don't know if they've nerfed it or not guys, but the above is a true story from last night. In game it simply wasn't in my playbook. In practice mode it was there. Even vs the CPU in solo season it was gone from my playbook. Only place it showed up (under play action, right?!) was practice mode. 

Lemme know what y'all think. And don't call me out for going and looking for the cheese, please. last night made my 15th (approximately) H2H game in total, and I've won a total of two games, both 3-0  so I promise y'all even if I had found it, I'm quite sure y'all are safe from me and cheese plays......🤣✌️

It’s available in my playbook. Used it just last night against a cheeser.

Not sure what's up with mine. I caught two delay of games looking for it. Lol. In practice mode I can simply scroll to play action, click X, then press the D pad down a few times and there it is. However in game it's gone. Or rather I can't find it. I thought they finally listened to y'all and removed it.

Weird that I couldn't find it in game vs CPU either when it's in practice mode. I'm gonna mess with it some more this morning as I have the day off.

Ok, so I managed to find it vs CPU this morning grinding AKA Icons solos. 

Maaaaan that thing don't always work. Lol. 

I got one TD off it, tried it twice more and once the defender never bit and knocked the ball out down field, third time the CPU picked it....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Like I said, the community is safe from me and cheese. Lol

What WR are you using? I rarely use it — save it for cheesers and when trying to elicit rage quits once up by a lot. Works about 75% of the time. Had Brady OOP as WR5 but then changed to Thorpe recently because he has better stats. I used to run into a lot of people using a HB double pass in house rules and thought it would only get worse with Thorpe but haven’t seen it at all in the ASA H2H event.

The irony.

I have either Turpin or Hester as the passer. I'm using the 96 Josh Allen at QB.

It drives me nuts that people griped about my persistent complaints concerning this game, but the bottom line is that responses like the one you remarked on prove people will provide whatever justification they need for winning on their terms. Of course they'll hate what I have to say: Their primary methods for winning at the game may not hinge on the double pass, but they still very obviously exploit holes in the game's AI that don't reflect the natural forced and unforced errors that occur on the football field in real life.

Slightly off topic but if your PSN is the same as your username on here, we played each other a few months back. I remember it being a close, cheddar free game. Cheers for that!

Thanks! Here's to hoping for a football game that caters to tactics and strategy, and not Marvel-style gaming mechanics.
