A real pocket gets pushed back about 4-5 yds most plays (exceptions being 3-step drop and WR screens); instead i'm seeing what essentially is run blocking from G/C's, 'stonewalling' or even pushing defenders forward and these wide looping animations from Edge rushers b4 a "stalemate". The result often is this huge 10+ yd wide pocket, wider than the original tackle box and 5-7 yds between the QB and interior rush. Should be seeing the Edge rushers squeeze the tackle box and the interior presses the middle; leaving the "collapse" feeling and sense of urgency by QB's. You see it occasionally in-game but not consistently. Was hoping for consistency and occasional gaffes.

I do not get why the refuse to totally redo line play. It would be something that would instantly give their game a fresh new look.

I mean I think the
Base for lineplay is still from the first year of PS2.
