Playmaker more useful than thought?

[VFK]

If you agree with me that the appearing of the symbol has become way more frequent and playmakers now look pretty useful, would you consider that:

1) The game engine has been altered to make the special ability have more effect
2) Playmaker has always been good and we just didn't notice before their effect because they don't usually get the assist
3) Playmaker is useless and the appearing symbol is just cosmetics, the special ability doesn't actually influence the goals

Imo it's probably 2, could also be 3, but 1 would be very unlikely.

I agree with the first point. I have also noticed recently that the playmaker icon comes on more frequently. Perhaps in the past it was working but just not lighting up. Anyway, it definitely seems to be more of a factor now and I've adjusted my starters accordingly (I only have one but I play him more often now).
