I agree, screens arent broken. And Im in marks division!
Having 'binky' plays is pretty prevalent in Madden.
I could run Gronk out there constantly but I don't in the sake of fairness. I don't know, seems like play calling wouldn't be "1st down, try something fail...2nd down, try something fail...3rd down screen for a 1st down".
Maybe it's just me.
Regardless, ph33nix, watch for the screens.
There is nothing broken about screen plays, and I have yet to see any really broken tight end plays (despite trying!). You can stop the entire screen game by running your defensive end with the running back. It's not rocket science.
We've played with Crow for years, we know there are broken plays.

Screens are easy to defend if you keep in mind that they might be coming. And you can usually tell if they are coming within the first half second of the play starting.
They usually do go for decent yardage, but they do in real life too. Especially with a speedy back that can catch passes like a Jamaal Charles.
I dont know what position you usually control yourself, but i have no problems running them more against D-line users

Thanks for your input. I was waiting for you to jump back into the conversation.
I'm usually successful with the nose tackle if i'm in a 3-4 or an inside linemen if not, and then furiously mash Circle to go to the nearest defender and miss a tackle leading to 30+ yards.
That's been my go-to.
Sounds like a big moment for you.
I'm just like a regular-type dude...with a big-ass dick

true detective!
p.s.
i play safety, lb and lineman. i used to play exclusively LB but the games logic in man coverage is fucked up. if you are playing man against a 3 WR set it will show you that you're supposed to cover the RB and your AI is covering the TE. then at the snap the roles magically switch.... i got burned so many times with this bullshit that i just stopped playing LB man against 3 WR sets
That was weird. When I read this, my son came up from behind and touched my head and there was a moment where i thought you actually patted me on the head.
It felt good.

You vancin or nah FMT!? What games are left?
Oatmeal, you SHOULD abuse Gronk as much as you can.
What I've learned in this league is you can't play with people going "Man he's going to get mad cause I keep burning him with this play!" I used to think like that and I would pick ridiculously stupid plays and do dumb shit out of my element.
Obviously there's not going for it on 4th in dicky times, doing douchey things in general, etc....but I've seen a fair share of people in this league run plays many many many times in a single game. You gotta do what works. If that means Gronk has a 15 reception game...well then so be it! The opponent should have to double Gronk, not say "Well he ran it twice already I know he won't do it again!" You aren't gonna get that mercy from anyone.
If they choose to do it then I accept the fact that everytime player X trots out 4 WR 1 TE, it's usually vertical TE shake and I sit on it. BOOM. INTERCEPTION.

After the game when I was running down the clock from my own 20 with kneels, and then with 1 second left I threw a zero percentage hail mary just for fun and everyone lost their minds about professionalism I figured that abusing anything would be in bad taste.
EDIT
and yes, I understand that abusing a play and killing the remaining seconds of a clock are not the same thing...just in case.
Because that's in bad taste. Who does that in real life?
Dat sim league.
Throwing a hail mary pass at the end of a game with no time left is not even close to the same thing as running a bunch of screen plays.
That's what you signed up for.
Thanks Ferny. We've covered this.
My point was, I did it once and only once because I didn't think it would be a big deal at the time. I apologized, and from that point, I decided to play fair and not take advantage of money plays.
Friend, if you came here expecting a sim league, you've come to the wrong place!
Are you still even in the league?
the only thing sim about this league is the 4th down rules which most people follow.
everything else is a front
Nah, but what's it to ya? I'll be back this year to put you in the dumpster, don't worry.
FYIDM is real.

i'm not sure what "abusing" would be. there aren't many things in the game that CAN'T be stopped. do i look for VD against a linebacker when i need a big play? of course. just like real kap. this league and madden in general aren't 100% sim because this is still a videogame and shit happens that wouldn't happen in real life. but for the most part people play a clean game.
i remember after the patriots beat the dolphins in 2012 (in real life) one of the dolphins players complained saying "well yeah they just kept running the same play over and over again. be a man and mix up your plays"

Bwahaha.
Real life =/= Game
I can't control my entire field of men, they're going to get sucked into blocks. I'm only one man. USA! USA!
