[QUOTE="android_FURY, post: 63825"] I wasnt specifically referring to set plays, rather the use of the box kick and dummies in open play. Definately try the half back box kick from the back of the ruck as an attacking option of they dont have a lot of defence out wide. Direct it diagonally across the field and if you have a fast winger, switch to him and sprint run onto the ball. It always gives you a one on one against the fullback and if used from 30m or so its basically an instant try. Most people dont seem to predict this move, probably because there is very little time between setup and execution. It is VERY effective when used correctly though, just takes practise. As far as set plays go it pays to learn them all in single player, they all have shortcomings. For example, pivot and dummy pivot are easy to spot on defence, there is a long period where the ball carrier is open to being hit, and you can basically line up the second reciever, a well timed dive tackle nearly always results in a knock on. Its just a matter of learning the patterns, its a bit defeatist in a way, but you can quite easily stop your opponent from using any set plays once you know the patterns. As far as defensive strategies, the obvious kick defense-for pocket and cross kick moves. Tight defense for Pivot/Switch and Dummy Switch and Standard for miss and classic set plays. With the latter the sweeper defence is advisable as a spread out defence generally equates to gaping holes for the play to exploit. Personally i have found the best set plays in multiplayer to be the simple classic and miss plays. They are quick to set up and give you a wide variety of options, because it looks generic its tough to pick out the intended reciever. Also, pressing triangle on both of these results in a chip for the winger that is very effective when executed in space. [/QUOTE]
