Just trying to say to look at play art and write it off right away seems a little premature to me. But then again either of us could be right about it or wrong about it.
I'm not being premature at all. Try to run any HB Counter play out of any Shotgun formation and you will see what I mean. The blocking is atrocious in the trenches. Until they actually fix the game where players block with leverage (and thus get pushed around with leverage as well) this game will be nothing more than an arcade version of NCAA football where you find the plays that work and then abuse the hell out of them over and over again.
