I like the new pocket mechanics, but....

the CPU's blocking is crazy!!
I havent see one of my DEs just beat a OL and sack the QB....seems like the QB had WAY too long to throw every time he drops back..

Someone noted that the pass rush was being tweaked....was this after the Card\Steelers demo? or is it in regards to the final product?

I like that the "robo qb" aspect was fixed, but this is literally my only beef w\ the game...I hope they take a look at it..

100% agree... the only and I say ONLY way I have gotten the few sacks I have is from controlling the Dlineman myself and getting a user sack. And when I did get the sacks I had to dive at the QB to catch him off guard. I believe "robo" QB is fixed but when the QB has so much time in the pocket they just pick apart the defense. I would love to just have some more pressure, ESPECIALLY when I send 6 and they're only blocking with 5.

EXACTLY man...

Its just frustrating that it doesnt work both ways....ive seen CPU DEs just blow by OLs off the snap to sack me plenty of times which is fine...it happens...I just want to be able to do the same...hopefully its true theyre tweaking it

Its because this is an old build without the pass rush fix that the retail version has.

I'm hoping this is the case... because with the current CPU blocking in the 5 min demo the 3-4 defense is useless.
