EA MUST fix blocking AWR!!!

This MUST be fixed!!!

Everytime I get a RB or WR out in the open and running downfield with NO tacklers in front of me, WHY do my blockers try to outrun me to the endzone???
They never look back and try to pick up anyone who might be chasing me down from behind. They just run with me or past me or get in my way.

It's been like this for years and EA NEEDS TO FINALLY FIX IT!

Ya know, I've never really run into that issue. Maybe you need to recruit RBs and WRs that are faster than your OLine.

I'm just kidding. For me, if I lead a defender to a teammate, the teammate blocks for me.

Not IF there are no defenders in front of you. It's as if your blockers have no awareness that anyone could be behind them. Not much fun being caught from behind when you've got your own WR running out in front of you.

I actually noticed in the demo that my teammates would pull some blocks on trailing defenders. I mean they still kinda ran with me but I kinda consider that realistic since if someone is nearly to the endzone and very little chance of getting caught, players often form a caravan into the endzone.

Another thing that is bad is how sometimes there will be blockers in front of you along with defenders they should block then all of the sudden they turn around to block sometime you got beat by 10 yards

football 101: don't block behind the play, only bad things can happen.

I think they also teach you when there is NO ONE between yourself and the endzone AND you don't have the ball, then you might want to take a look behind you. It's called having your head on a swivel.
