Thankfully I hadn't run into that problem in Play Now too much, but I only used a select amount of teams that were mainly the highest and lowest overall for testing. I will say this though, the ratings and low awareness I'm noticing with so many players is troubling, and imagine that's likely a contributing factor apart from coding. Guys with awareness in the 30's and 40's I don't feel should be a thing, but they do this to order depth charts and fit guys into schemes a lot. But, anytime I've set my line properly and identified blitzes well enough, the blocking has been pretty good for me. I'm on PS though so I can't speak for XBox or PC though either.

Right? And isn’t Oldenburg a former OL? You’d think the blocking would be A LOT smarter than it is. I’ve noticed I’m getting crushed much quicker on shotgun passing plays.

  After spending a ton of time creating my own roster again this year, I've come to the conclusion the reason everything is working so bad isn't just due to poor coding, but the overall very poor ratings given to most players. I've researched pretty much every player on the team rosters, and though I give EA credit for making some better than their numbers show them to be, the biggest problem I'm finding is the incredible amount of underrated players. Specifically the AWR ratings given to many is atrocious, which is particularly affecting coverage and blocking. My roster has fixed much of that by simply raising the rating standard.
