Blocking like this really scares me in NCAA13

[The JareBear]

Should the TE have at least touchd the DE? Yes. But that play is designed as a three step drop. You went way too far back, which is something I hate seeing users do in ranked matches every play. You gotta give your line a chance to make a block, stay in the pocket. I rarely ever manual drop back it messes up the blocking, as seen here, far too often.

Slight game issue but much more of a user error

Well, what I meant was holding up on the stick would be leading the receiver a bit more forward, I'm not used to the PS3 and button sensitivity so I thought Up + Tap = Leading the WR forward with decent arc/touch.

You sir are in denial.

In this first video, the running back at least attempted to give some effort to block the free pass rusher.

The second video really does not even count, because the pass rusher was just unblock nobody seen him. Unlike in NCAA Football, their were two blockers looking right at the pass rusher and they just let him go right by.

The third video, the UGA one, blockers were at least attempting to go after the pass rushers, if they got beat, they used their arms to try to push the pass rushers away from the Qb, unlike in NCAA Football (and Madden) blockers just stay in the same exact stance, and do not attempt to move their feet, or use their arms to knock pass rushers off their route to the Qb.

And on the last video, again, looks like the tackle chipped the pass rusher, at least the blocker touched the pass rusher. Can't wait for the day EA add's chip blocking in their football games. In NCAA Football blocker don't give any effort if they are beat, they just stay squatted waiting for someone to bump into them.

If blocking isn't broken in this game to you, explain why Nano Blitzing is still in the game since the PS2 days? Ill tell you why, it's because you can easily manipulate the blockers in this game. Right now I can get a sack on almost every play in the demo. I just go to the Nickel Formation, and choose the Man play where the two middle like backers rush the middle, I then control the DE, widen my gap a little and run past the O-tackle every time.

So many people drop back so far because, we don't feel safe in the pocket. Most of the time the offensive tackle gets insta-swimmed by the DT or just bull-dozed right over, or the defensive ends breaks off their blocks as if the quarter back has a magnet on him.
