Is there a mechanism in play that "mandates" such defensive players such as Watt, Sue, Miller, Mack etc... be blocked by more than one player?

I believe this is that "special ingredient" that's missing with the player differentiation everyone is looking for during their gameplay experience.

Whether controlled by the AI or Hum player, these type of players don't force gamers to have to account for them

Even better is the AI having awareness to match its best DL/LB's against the weak areas of an OL and attack it to force the gamer to altar/change their gameplan.

Really making these type of guys special and hard to come by (unless you choose the team they're already on) would really add to all areas of the game.

There player should kill one on one VS avg players ! These player should command a double team or get rid of the ball fast !

Rex, thanks for stopping by. This is some really good stuff. I didn't play football past high school but I remember all these terms and identifying strong side first. This is very exciting.

This sounds good. Will need to see videos, though to really gauge what all 22 players are doing to see if the words translate to actual gameplay. I also really really want to see DE lineman play improved and for users to get consistent sacks with their front four without having to blitz.
