Offensive Line Issues
Really want to enjoy this game but its hard when the core of football, (o line or d line play), is difficult to execute. The AI has full control over who the o line will block. Ive chosen inside zone plays and my right guard won't be assigned to block anyone, then a free rusher is always in the hole that opens. The CPU ai glitches to every hole regardless of the run called. I formation against a dime look is prime for running the ball. But my o lineman dont get any push at all and leaves my running back bouncing around. I dont play ultimate team or online against people often. These games became hot because the cpu was not overriding all inputs. I wont get into how my receivers won't try to catch a ball if the game has predetermined that the cpu will get an interception. As developers, it's easy to say that the o lineman being used may not have a high awareness rating, which is why blocks are being missed, but not when I have manually boosted my entire offensive line to 99 everything, and still can't get a push on FCS schools, let alone regular schools. You guys need to include the lead block function like it was in the old madden so we can control blocking in some form. Its exhausting trying to play football when guys are just bouncing off my lineman just to tackle my player like heat seeking missiles. Performing a spin move on the cpu and the cpu doesn't get puked, they just warp around my player
