@EA_Blueberry You realise that the complete opposite happens in the run game? That a MLB or even DL routinely chases down a RB well behind the LOS even when the RB has a good jump on him and the speed differential is nowhere near as big as the one I'm taking about. It's a very frustrating inconsistency.
In addition, versus man coverage, a QB should be throwing the ball before the WR makes his break (usually). When I do that, even when I get the timing right, which is most of the time, the CB goes after the ball and Tyreek does nothing. It's really stupid that it's so different to how football is actually played and that players have eyes on the backs of their heads!
Another issue is the blocking. Players just run to the endzone instead of coming back to look for someone to block. I understand using a track to get them going the right way, but there should be a "most dangerous man" principle where after about a second or 2 they can break off their track to go after an unblocked player who is a threat to the ball carrier.
@EA_Blueberry can you explain to me how Darius Leonard chases down Tyreek Hill on a Jet Sweep?

He can’t because he knows exactly well what EA is doing, which is false advertising. They advertise a player like Tyreek Hill with a 400+ overall and nerf him based on matchups because it’s “not fun” to have a player with 300+ speed outrun a player with ~160 speed, instead of simply offering Tyreek Hill as a 120 overall player. In reality, what isn’t fun is spending money on products, or in this case in-game players, being advertised as elite, and in return having said players play at subpar levels to “even the playing field”. If you advertise a player as 400+ overall with 300+ stats in most categories, that player should perform as advertised, otherwise you are quite literally false advertising and stealing from players.

I would be fine with it being a logarithmic scale, so the differences at higher levels are smaller and smaller, that would be quite accurate. I can't accept a significantly slower player chasing down my significantly faster player from behind, at the LOS. It's just ridiculous.
I'm getting really tired of all the bugs, and all the BS sims.

@PebblesRB28 unfortunately it’s not a bug, it’s a premeditated advertising and sales tactic employed by EA to scam their customers out of money.
