NFL2k5: Anybody Want 'Switch To Blocker' Option This Year?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Any extra options that expand the gameplay is fine with me. After all, if I don't like it, I don't have to use it. But it would be an excellent option, especially if you pitch the ball to the running back on a sweep. I don't know how many times I've gotten stuffed when my AI lineman just let somebody go around him without making an attempt to block. This way as soon as it's pitched, I could hit a button and switch to a lineman to block. The computer could default to first switching to the fullback or whomever is the "logical" first line of blocking needed, based on the play.

Great idea.

Thanks goober. You are 100% correct about the sweeps. I tend to avoid them all together because of the poor AI blocking for the route. Having 'Switch To Blocker' would solve this problem too, making the game more useful and fun.

yea it would be a cool addition, if i would ever use it is another story

*Off Topic*....I think there is another football game that could use this feature more than any other game out there

BTW, that would be a cool move by Sega to add especially when 2-4 maybe 8 players are on the sticks

Nice idea. Personally, I hope VC just goes ahead and seriously upgrades the Blocking AI in general though...especially fullbacks.

Were you trying to say FIRST PERSON FOOTBALL, or FOUR PERSON FOOTBALL? Either way, I want this feature to be in standard Franchise Mode.

FIRST. My fault.

Yeah, the fullbacks really need to get an upgrade in their thinking. If I run with deuce, terrell smith would just run away instead of blocking the person that is right in front of him.

Most of my friends choose the defensive end most of the time. The poor computer usually doesn't stand a chance with the human controlled DE. With a switch-to-blocker option then I could pitch the ball and go mano-a-mano with my buddies straight up! Let's see 'em try to stop my running then! Plus, add some new pancake animations and it could get REAL fun playing the O-line. Just imagine some fool coming around the corner and your pulling guard just CREAMS HIM! Or your Fullback takes his legs out from under him, buying time for the now computer controlled QB to let it fly to your streaking WR! I LOVE IT!
