QB Spike

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE put this back in game. I havnt seen one in about 10 seasons now and I am in a lot of leagues.

I had a game and with 45 seconds left on the clock I got in a total of 2 plays. Thats easily enough time to get in 5 plays, well unless your coach is Dennis Green.

Awhile he is at it add the FAKE QB Spike of Dan Marino kind.

at least that would give people another weapon to use on their offense side of the ball.

I'd also like to see a QB sneak, why isn't this in the PBs?

I have a feeling the AI would end up calling this play over and over if you ever allowed the default "burn clock" mode to kick in.

Just throwing this out here, maybe some plays, like spike the ball and QB sneak and others could only be used via rules.

never heard of this so i looked it up.
after further youtube links I ended up finding 'trick plays' - incredible!

I never knew you could fake a field goal and score a TD from it!?! Why don't they do that more often?!

And then just saw a fumble'skie'? - the QB fumbles on purpose for the DL to then collect and run!!

Brilliant!

Lol, yeah, fake plays don't work so much in the NFL which is why you're most likely to see them in college, and even then not so much in Division-I. As for the Fumblerooski, they had to implement rules against that because it's so cheap.
