everyone's been complaining about piss poor blocking by fullbacks, linemen, and tight ends; well it applies to runningbacks as well. here's a pic taken from my rtg player (i'm the qb)



my rb had a choice between which one of the two free rushers to block. anyone think he actually chose to block one? nope.


there either need to be more slide protect options or they need to be changed in how they work. slide protect left and right dont work all that well, in that if you do SP one direction, you're often faced with a free rusher coming from the opposite side that you SP to. imo, what would work better would be some kind of spotlighting feature in which you could highlight individual defensive players (or maybe just non d-linemen?) who are blitzing. it would automatically clue your blockers in to who and where the blitz is coming from, much better than the current SP mechanic. as for SP aggressive and pinch, i havent noticed a real advantage in using them .

thinking about this further....obviously, correctly pinpointing out to your o-line + any other blockers who is blitzing will put them in a better blocking position from the start. this could also be a way of raising/lowering a qb's awareness over the coarse of the season and composure in game. the benefit is self explanatory: better blocking and possible ratings boost.

the downside would be when it comes to incorrectly identifying blitzers. it would pull linemen out of position and you'd risk having a missed rusher come at you. this would also cause your qb to get rattled easier (depending on his current awareness), which would, in turn, also affect how accurate his throws are, leading to more inaccurate passes.

the defensive counter to having blitzers identified would be show blitz. they could possibly add in another look or two or even going with a show position group blitz (safety blitz or lb blitz). showing blitz slightly pulls players out of position and so you wouldnt have total coverage over everyone, yet it'd be a way at possibly confusing opponents.
