Re: D-Line Tips?

With DE/OLBs i've found that its best to hit the right thumb stick just as your about to engage in the block. If you do it too early your player will stumble, too late and you will get get blocked. If you hit that sweet spot though, you will blow past the tackle.

Say you control the RE, you wanna hit the right thumb stick 'left' to do a swim move, and 'up' to do a spin move. If you control the LE then you hit 'Right' to do the swin move.

With power guys its 'Inside' and 'Down'.

Hope that helps mate.

1) Follow the play art. Makes a big difference in getting a good angle

2) Make sure you are doing the proper move set, as the poster above, said. Dont try to bull through a guy with Dwight Freeney.

Speed/finesse rushers, you want to rush outside, or spin off.

Power rusher..straight down or inside the tackle.

Everything he said, but reblitz your guy so he goes straight instead of crashing in or stunting. I use the Cowboys and line up Spencer as the LE, reblitz him, and then flick the right stick to the right and he usually blows right by the LT.
