I posted this a few days ago in the 2K forums and received some very good debating on the subject. So, with grammatical errors and all, here it is word for word.
Ok people the other day I was playing a friend with my old Giants team vs his Brooklyn Something-or-nothers, lol. Well Cunningham was killing me. I would bring the heat from any and every direction but just couldn't get to him. My thing wasn't so much that he was killing me but with a 2 man and even at times 3 man blitz he was getting upwards to 5 seconds to throw with my men just running to the nearest defender screaming "BLOCK ME I DON'T WANT TO PLAY" all the way. Well I enough was enough. He was just getting way too much time and I noticed something, I blitzed my corner and he had a straight shot to the QB but he PURPOSELY turned to the nearest defender and allowed himself to get block. I had a revelation, people cry and cry about "controlling the man and not letting the computer do all the work" and while I say do what you want you paid for the game I thought to myself then why doesn't that same philosophy apply to the blitzer. Well I did just that. Took the CB and blitzed him manually. It became a tale of two games. Now some actual heat was on. He began to rush his throws when he wasn't on his back. His ints went up tremendously. I actually started getting sacks and the game took a complete 180.
He started calling plays that brought protection to that side and that effectively negated my corner blitz but now that kept more dudes in the box and gave time for my LBs to do there thing. So I question if you can put a blanket rule on no manual blitzing. I'm really disappointed that 2K didn't include and option to "call the mike" and have blocking responsibilities. I guess calling for the max protection either direction is as good as it's going to get for now.

Accostic tried to run it on me, I laughed and said you aint gonna get me with something I already know. Called that time out. It was 3rd and like 9 or something. Called that time out. The first time he ran it I went to a certain run play. 30 yard pickup. The next time he ran it I picked up another 30 yds on a swing pass.
