depends on where you're trying to playmaker from. Using playmaker on a WR closing in on the sidelines will get a faster response because they are naturally trying to avoid running out of bounds. In the middle of the field, then the response is less rapid.
Other than that, are you sure the player didn't have QB playmaker on?
Thanks dude. And absolutely certain they didn't have it. It happens to me quite often, and none of them have it on.
Why is it whenever I playmaker someone, they take their sweet ass time to respond to my command? And my opponents do it, their WRs change directions on a dime, and are fast as fuck. And no, they don't have any special APs on such as playmaker.
