Blcoking

I am all for a realistic football game and understand that you normally do not have 3+ seconds to throw a pass, but blocking in this game is just so bad right now because Offensive line blocking logic is just bad. Especially if the defense has Lbs as edge rushers in formations like 2-4 nickel or any 3-4 front; you can see this in pass blocking sometimes, but particularly in run blocking. Offensive linemen typically do fine if you are running some type of power or counter when the linemen are pulling and getting into space, but Inside/Outside zone runs are awful. Pre-snap, the offensive linemen can not correctly determine who to block inside of the tackle box, especially if there is a TE involved on that side of the run. It's awful. Against a 3-4 and even nickel defense, I've run an inside zone to the left side of my offensive line where my TE is also on the line of scrimmage on that side of the field. I have had the TE try to run and block the LB on the opposite side of the center, the LT climb to the LB on the second level, and the LG try to slide out and block the standing LB or outside DE. It has happened multiple times with all sorts of plays, and it's infuriating.
