+100, the blocking logic, ID, and then targeting execution is painfully bad. So many good things about the game, but the base foundation of football, running the ball!!!!, is broken.
26 is simply a pass happy broken game until run blocking is fixed. Incredibly so in that even basic power lead plays, the FB ignores blocking rules and goes off randomly to block a non-thread OR doesn't block anyone at all. Pulling guards don't find anyone to block, even right in their face.
Combo blocks sometimes works, but are still too slow to come off the chip and go get their assignment. Inline TEs will inexplicably cross down to run into the tackle or guard to go block someone that makes no sense and thus destroys the ability of the tackle and/or guard to execute their blocking assignments.
EA, 26 is practically unplayable. Just a pass happy pro situation to the game where running isn't executed at all correctly, let alone usable.
Why did it work on 7/7 early release much better, at least that I recall, but it completely a mess now?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
