I noticed that my FB lately has not been blocking properly. He keeps going after the ends and tackles rather than the linebackers or safeties. This didn't happen all that much in season 6, but I noticed it more in season 7 and preseason of s8.

Anyone else having similar problems? I'm referring to plays like this.

I noticed that I didn't have this much problem when my vision was low in season 6. Either vision is causing the problem, or there was a some change in sim made.

in two of those there your teams o lineman falls it looks like. People say vision is a big deal but I do not really think so. Invest in some lead blocking.

This play erks me.

Level 27 LB I have 6 in lead block. And I get Pancaked! I'm going to open my profile to see for a bit.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love some feedback.

These 2 preseason games he's had alot of similar plays. Alot of times he just runs to the line and looks confused as the HB goes by.

It seems like these problems could be fixed by changing the pathing of FBs lead blocking NOT to change course (ie make their own blocking decisions) until they've crossed the LOS. They should be running straight into the path where the HB is supposed to go. Once they break through they can pick up defenders at their discretion.
