I snap the ball and fire straight out towards my man while I notice my neighboring OL picking up the 2 DL's just as I had hoped. But wait, what the "F" is this? My player went into an animation double teaming a DL while the LB I wanted to block came firing through and nailed the ball carrier for a 1 yard loss. I want full control - I want to be able to run backwards if I so choose.

yeah again, this is a problem of being sucked into animations and not having control over your players. you get sucked into blocking and tackling animations and even when you're engaged, there is barely any response. i had a similar situation where i was a tackle on an outside sweep and i got sucked into the block when i didn't want to. then i tried to chop / pancake / flat out destroy with the hitstick and got no response. then i tried to keep pressing the hit stick the next play figuring if i kept jamming it before and after the snap i would attempt something against the D line...nothing. terrible physics and animation work.
