- Run blocking has been improved; it should be a bit easier to push opponents back unless you are well overmatched. There's also a little more jostling going on.

Looks like some of those monster builds are going to develop weaknesses next season. Curious to know what the supporting attributes are going to be.
My guesses are- (aside from the obvious major ones)
For Blocking: Agility.
For Breaking Blocks: Confidence/Blocking.

We shall see!
I'm going to be training vision for a while to prevent offsides heh.

So agility will be more important for pass rushers.

Color me ecstatic.

Yeah this scares me alot. I researched successful DE and set a plan to get there in the next few levels. Now it looks like I may have to redo my research based on:

I'm just glad that I'm only level 13 and can recover. The 22+ level Pro DE pass rushers might just have lost the next season or more trying to recover.

I sure hope blocking doesnt help break blocks. No defensive player has been training that. My guess is confidence.

It looks like everyone will be putting some points into vision (to prevent penalties) and tackling. Low tackling but set on wrap-up doesn't sound like it will work very well anymore.

It sounds like agility will be more helpful for pass rushing, but it also sound like run blocking for the OL will be easier. You may have to bump strength to combat that.

3-4 defenses will be hot after the big NT that can plug the middle now. Not sure how I want to take my DT now, the route he was on to be more of a rushing DT or a pure NT who can hold the middle down.

I am more concerned by the run block changes than anything else. I have a feeling that 3-4 defenses are going to get "freight trained" this year by run oriented offenses this year. We had to go strength early in our careers just to maintain the line of scrimmage, now the O-Line Slobs (who already have cheaper and easier players to maintain due to the "non glamour positions") get another break. I know we will figure out how to beat this eventually, but it looks like it will be a pain in the butt for at least the beginning of the season.

Tackling is not going to be the huge problem everyone thinks it is. In my opinion, we are not going to be getting the percentage of forced fumbles we were getting on the "wrap up" setting. Tackles will still be made. We just won't be getting the number fumbles caused playing wrap up.

Finally, I am glad that the penalties are being added to the game. Players with low vision should have to pay a price for their choice to ignore this stat.

definitely man. the offense sucks so guess what they upgrade the OL instead of the guys actually making the plays. OL fking easy to build, cheap to boost and now they are getting and upgrade. bs man

makes the run SA tree more valuable, for sure.
