I've been waiting damn near a decade for this. Very excited to test it.

New Pre-Play Mechanic: Pass Block Double Team mechanic added to Pass Blocking Adjustments, replacing the Pinch adjustment
How it works: In the Pass Blocking adjustments pre-play menu, you can now target a defender aligned on the line of scrimmage for a pass-block double team. You can do this by opening the Pass Protection menu with R1/RB, and selecting the bottom option: ‘Double Team’ (this new mechanic is replacing the Pinch Adjustment, which has been removed globally). Once in this state, you’ll be shown a ‘D2’ indicator that you can move around with the LS, and then lock in your double team target by pressing A/X. While this can be bluffed on running plays and play-action, it will only assign a double team on dropback passing plays.
DEV NOTE: We are thrilled to be able to deliver a mechanic that our community has requested, and we think it’s coming in at the perfect time - the double team mechanic is a great way to counter Superstar X-Factor pass rushers. If there’s one really important note to know about this mechanic, it’s that it carries risk. No matter what, when you target a defender to double team, if he’s rushing, he will get double-teamed. So if the defense is rushing more defenders than blockers, you will likely leave one or more of those rushers unblocked to facilitate the targeted 2 vs. 1.
