EightyOne said:The game is clearly nerfed a little bit on 4th down making it harder to get a 1st down if you go for it. The same should be done when players spam plays. Let's face it, you control 1 player per down and cannot make enough adjustments presnap to make a huge difference. The other 10 guys should recognise the play and react accordingly. That is what would happen IRL.
With HRM you actually can make a lot of adjustments to create an effective route combo.....but without it, no, you can't.
