As I have said time and time again, this is the worse part of EA's football games. I can understand getting blocked, but it doesn't happen like this. You should not have to play 10 yds off the line of scrimmage to play Middle Linebacker. The problem is you have no ammunition to deal with the blocks. As a Middle linebacker you don't use spin moves to deal with blocks. And what is power? It does nothing.
What they need to do, is map defensive moves onto the controller. This has been done in current gen. Here ya go. One button for Rip move, One button for grab n jerk, One button for swim, One button for Club. Then on top of all of that, here is another reason why the suction blocking needs to be eliminated. 4 man pass rush takes way too long because of two things. One suction blocking and two a lack of defensive line stunts. Most of line games here are basic rushs straight ahead. Even in current gen the Line games are still basic. They need to get real defensive line games in here. But line games would make no difference if you still have suction blocking because the Dlineman would not be able to perform the stunt.
So for blocking they need to emphasize the offensive linemen using their arm length and their hands. They need to emphasize footwork and agility. Not sliding and cheating sucking guys into blocks
But alas, I'll stop. I hope they do that. It would CHANGE the game completely. Just that little bit right there would change the game completely. Everyone wants this mode, that mode, this external feature, that external feature. Whatever happened to just wanting things that will greatly enhance the gameplay at EVERY position on the field. I digress, I digress.
