Now that the game is out and everyone has had ample time to put it through the motions how much do you utilize the Lead Blocker controls?

I use it a couple times during the season. Usually during the fourth quarter if I'm winning and it's a blow out.

I used this a bunch at first, but it kind of became a novelty the more I played the game...I haven't used it in a while now.

I used it once against the CPU, and once against a friend online, never used it again. Worse piece of development time ever.

I guess I must be the only one who likes this feature. Playing as the Niners I can rarely run behind the right side of my line so I will either take over the FB or the RG and try and clear space for Gore, works great and allows me to control the worst blocking offensive linemen or FB if he is involved in the play.

I love the feature the problem I have is the rest of the blocking.

lead blocking hasnt really helped me at all, i gave it a fair chance the first couple weeks i played the game, only time i use it now is on qb sneaks or fb dives to make sure i get a good push

i thought it would be real useful on toss and pitch plays but it seems like the back following me always makes a stupid cut real early before i can block anyone or change back to him really defeating the purpose

point blank i would have taken defensive playmaker controls over these "gimmick", ea needs to catch up to the gameplay on current-gen before they start wasting time on their new "ideas"

I've had the game since release, and didn't even know it was a feature, so, "Never."
