Well, with interior linemen getting into their proper gaps, this could in theory help defensive ends. I can't really go into any more detail than that.

Thanks, gotta try, Been waiting 10 years for a user-defined camera to return. Still hope until comfirmed or not.

Sorry. I'll pop back on here periodically when blogs get posted and try to answer questions where I can.

(I'm being slightly vague here because I don't want to create an idea as to how often it happens. Since it's still being tuned, I honestly don't know how it'll be when you play it. But it did happen)

I like that the AI also has the same tools as the user. I love that the AI can block kicks as well. Thanks.

No problem. This community gave me this opportunity so I'm always happy to give back.

I am going to be on planes all day tomorrow so I'll get back on with you guys Saturday evening and Sunday.

I can imagine the criticism we will be seeing after release when so many people complain about not being able to stop the run and never being able to make the play when they user their favorite player.

I think it is a safe bet to say that most gamers think gap assignment is being assigned charity work at Gap stores.

Yes, H2H defensive play, in games that aren't no switch, have always been about Users freelancing all over the field, taking advantage of various flaws in the gameplay mechanics that allow them to completely ignore their assignment and still disrupt the play quite often.

If the implementation is good, it will be hilarious to see Users getting gashed game after game because they are unable to maintain discipline with their User controlled LB or safety and then complaining about defense being broken or offense being OP.

@MrPrice if your still answering questions:

1- Are there new HB moves? or just the pop up and the blocking more so what is new to change the run game?

2- Did you use a Power Back, and was he useful as a bruiser ,trucking people.

3-Did stiff arm work if you used a Power Back?

4- Did you notice oline blocking all around be better? Ex- not standing there watching a defender just blow right by them, looking at them, but never even trying to engage them?

Also thanks for your time and answering our many many questions that you can.
