I don't think that was necessarily a mistake by the AI. I think the guard and the fullback were supposed to block who they actually blocked by design. It's just that the LB was blitzing and it was a counter play which took too long to develop. This left the hole open for the LB to come through unblocked. Which is why you sometimes get burned by the blitz.

In a standard run play that back side backer would have to chase down the play if he blitzed.

Now, the one thing you can say is wrong in this situation is that the FB probably should have taken the blitzing LB since he was the first immediate threat because of the counter. But I am sure that type of thing is not programmed into the game properly. Or at least didn't work there.

lol and the last few comments are exactly why EA hates these kind of videos.

Oh, this is the worst game ever!! I'm not buying!!! Lol. Just kidding. I do love the nitpicking sessions on the smallest of offscreen clips, though.

But, yeah, the blocking was a bit off. PVarck might be right. Maybe, that's the scheme. But, still, I've been wanting to see 'instant threat blocking' for years. And, with this one clip, it appears it's not in there. I'm still buying the game, FYI, but yeah, even in this little clip, it's tough not to judge that. I'd like a real NFL coach to chime in, honestly. Lol. U know? I mean, as PVarck is saying, u have an initial blocking scheme that you're going with. In the video game, u feel like the FB just HAS TO SEE the LB blitzing on the left. He's right in front of him. But, if his initial assignment is to come across the line and block to the right, maybe, even in real life, he's not going to pick up that blitz. In real life, things are moving so fast, u have to sprint to your assignment. But, it is totally frustrating. As a player, I notice the blitzing LB right away and u instantly assume your FB is going to pick him up, and then you'll search for blocks downfield after that and then WHAM!! No block 4 u!! Lol.

.. I thought the animations looks pretty great. Blitzing linebacker looked good.

Pretty sure that was a counter/counter trey, which means the FB did his job correctly according to the play design (perhaps not so much on reacting to the perfect blitz against the play-call). But yeah, that wasn't a zone run. The FB is supposed to lead the RB to the designated hole on that play, following the guard. But that kind of blitz is perfectly designed to stop that play.

Maybe a better FB adjusts his assignment mid-play, but technically speaking the FB went where he was supposed to.

I'll pass on the youtubers too.

It's mostly all canned and way to much yelling and screaming.
