Escape Artist Nerf

Lol I love the EA nerf. Most of the losers who use it aren't good at the game anyway. Take that out and they have ZERO offense. It's hilarious. No more YouTube glitch rollout passes for y'all lmao. People crying about linemen catching qbs, just stay in the pocket and make reads. Sad that the only offense most of y'all have is EA QB rollout. (Insert principal Skinner pathetic meme)

So you're okay with just lumping everyone who has ever used it into one group?

Escape artist should honestly just be removed from the game. It is overpowered and overused. We are all as a community on old-gen sick of it. The characters and especially qb's move too fast and honestly should just be nerfed. And especially scrambling architect quarterbacks. They are overused, overpowered, and no qb sby will be able to do anything if they have escape artist and juke box on them. And for anyone who is aboutta reply to this comment. Yes I am mad.

I use all of my 18 ap on my Oline and it give me enough time to make me a coffee before throwing the ball

Yikes. 

EA nerf again does suck, they should just take it out of the game instead of still raising cost if they dont want you to use it or super cripple your AP.

You know I've been thinking about it since I got smeared by a rollout, gonna run in circles for 2 minutes since you can't catch me then chuck it deep, player this weekend. I don't use it but I think that I'm actually fine with it being in the game. My only suggestion/request is make it like IRL and nerf their accuracy. Other than Moon, Vick, or Young, most run first QB's can't hit the broad side of a barn. Lamar is terrible, he just chucks it up and his receivers go get it. Did anyone see the skills challenge last year, he was freaking horrible. I might have to add Kyler to the decent list after thinking about it for a minute but no one else is coming to mind.

then nerf route tech, thats overpowered against man.  Nerf GS that is a completely unrealistic throwing animation and allows the qb to basically throw between defenders. Nerf the meta blitzes, they are completely overpowered and are the whole reason people use escape in the first place.  All that i'm seeing is a bunch of people crying about something they cannot stop for their scheme.  I play players that stop Escape artist but to be fair every ability adds an extra advantage.  You cannot just nerf 1 ability without adjusting the game.  The lineman should not be that fast, the game is trash becuase there are running qbs in the league smh.

This guy gets it. Meta blitzes are basically unstoppable without Escape Artist or devoting AP to your entire line.

Honestly, I think a good compromise would be that it wears off as soon as the QB in question passes the LOS. That way, it's JUST for escaping the pocket, and as soon as they get any positive yardage, it stops applying.

The description does say increased speed when leaving the pocket
