Kekkonen Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 This is probably a fluke, but I've now had a total of 3 screen passes picked off in the span of two games. Isn't that like, um, very very rare in real life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alig4321 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Considering the whole premise of a screen is that you get the D-line to overpursue and then throw it over their heads to the waiting receiver, it is very possible that a player can read the play and get in position to intercept it. It also takes a lot longer to develop before the pass than most pass plays so gives defenders plenty of time to get into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConStar Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I can tell you this much -- if you're up by 14 and want to trigger a "miracle comeback" on the part of the AI, call a screen pass. It's nearly an automatic interception, and I don't care how good your QB is or how bad the secondary is. This game has a handful of maddeningly unrealistic quirks and that's one of them.
