Lower Agility and Speed for OL

[adriano]

I lowered the Agility and Speed on my Offensive line and my OL started really protecting my Qb. It seems like when I make them too fast they would get taken out of the play way too much..

They were low 70's and high 60's. Now I have them at 48-58

Sort of with ya on that. From my tweak guidelines this past year:

OL & DT's:

---Agility: Max 70; Min 35

---Speed: Max 50; Min 10

---Jump: -90% (max: 8; min: 2 ----- all O-line = 1)

Yes. This happened to me when I experimented. The Tackles backed off the line too fast and left lanes for defensive ends, the Guards moved out of the D-lineman's way quicker.

How do your settings affect run blocking?

What does this do to plays with pulling lineman?

Thats what I was wondering. I'd love to have them pass block better, but I don't want to sacrifice a good pulling guard.

I havent really seen anything negative on running plays yet.
I will have to test it out some more..

I was thinking of lowering my TE's speed and FB's too. It makes sense to me now why players would miss blocks..They were too fast

My fastest TEs are in the very low (70-73) range. Most are in the high 60s. There must not be a huge difference in speed, because they still beat safeties sometimes down the middle and I always see RBs in the low-mid 80s outrun CB/S in the 90s in my roster.

I know pursuit has a bearing, but I see it on both sides (me and the cpu).
