Madden 10 Offensive Plays that Don't Work

No matter how much Madden develops, there has been a history ofcertain plays that don't work historically in Madden, and still don't, even in the most modern version, Madden 10, or Madden 2010. Although they are drawing closer to the real thing, the equation still hasn't been solved and errors exist where certain common attacks don't work efficiently enough compared to real football, or period, don't work at all.

Draw plays. Defenses don't properly read pass-run and the skills of the OL is inconsistent, and moreso, the "feel" of the draw play does not compare to the real thing. You will often get dropped at the line, more than you ever would in real football if the play was mixed in efficiently.

Screen plays. Offensive linemen don't recognize their assignment frequently enough and will often just let through the defensive players, and not because they are too talented and strong; because they just struggle and don't register what is happening on the call.

Reverses. Reverses don't work well and often never work in Madden. Although they need similar attention to detail in real life, at some point these should be strong on the virtual gridiron.

Counter plays. These tend to end in loss of ground more often than they do in real life due to defensive line penetration and offensive lineman artificial intelligence being incapable of picking up the sprung defenders.

Zone plays. Due to running laneAI running the ball doesn't feel authentic in the way a normal zone play is executed.In a single back alignment you will sometimes get a run-through defender because of offensive lineman artificial intelligence being strong.

Wildcat throw. For some reason the WR/RB can't run due to an issue in the game. I guess they thought it would be too unstoppable, but that's part of the advantage of the package. The whole positive of having it in the game is lost in terms of throwing the football.
