Simple suggestion and strait forward. Changing blocking focus is a challenge for newer players to begin with because for certain positions u have to use the quick tactics editor. In addition an OT or G playing on pass focus is realistically not going to have a penalty to run blocking when he's playing ST, for obvious reasons. Lastly its a pain in the ass for guys with lots of dots. So I suggest we make no bonus or penalty to any dots when playing ST. So the blocking focus option should ONLY apply to offense plays (or def Turnovers).
Forum > Suggestions > Eliminate 'Blocking Focus' from ST's
What would work best (IMO) is to have any dot that is on the field on any special teams play automatically use "run block" as it's focus. This way a pass blocking OT can set his blocking focus to "PASS" so that when he plays on the offensive line, then that is the setting the game uses... but when he's on ST's it's automatically "run block" anytime he's involved in a play. By doing it this way you eliminate having to "set it" for ST's and it would simply dictate all ST plays as "run setting" and it would be "sim based code" rather than "dot based". Is that kinda what you're looking for?

If you read the last line or two of the OP, you guys are saying the same thing basically. You are suggesting that everyone be considered Run Blocking and get the Run Block focus bonus; he is suggesting that the Blocking Focus setting have no impact (i.e. no bonus); but the end result is the same either way.
Thus, +1 to either fix.

If they don't change to run focus they get no bonus.
Why punish the ones that take the time to set to run focus?
Because some have not learned how to yet?
Because some are to lazy to?
It's not like those that don't set to run focus get a penalty, they just don't get the bonus for learning how to set it and actually getting it set
If its a pass blocking dot that is set to pass block, then that dot should either not be on the ST unit or just suffer the consequences of being set to pass block.
Next we will ask for all players to be exact equals because some people don't know how to build good dots yet (people like me) or have to many dots so don't have the time to build dots efficiently (again, people like me)
