In the same vain as this thread...

I would like to start a thread covering the flaws of the offensive line. I cannot cover everything wrong with this area of the game nor do I have videos, so feel free to post them and add to my comments. This is the one area of the game that just kills the overall experience. Everything is wrong. Here are my initial thoughts
Lineman in general are too slow. They should be much faster than they are, and they should have a different running animation so the don't look like they are running in quicksand.
They are extremely stupid on running plays, which makes the running game unplayable (for me). They will run by players who need to be blocked.
On pass plays they are way to effective, they lock up d-lineman with ease and there is that animation where and o-lineman and a d-lineman are just standing up grabbing each other not moving.
This is an early list so add to it. But my last point is the difference between really good team and a really bad team can usually boil down to a bad offensive line. bad o-lines should just get manhandled up front, making it impossible to do anything effectively against a good team (see Georgia vs Hawaii) A good o-line should be able to absolutely destroy a bad teams d-line making the run and pass game extremely easy.
