If you want to get off blocks better, either raise the human break block or decrease the opposing cpu blocking sliders. Pass blocking on default levels is too good in the game which hurts most defenses. However, if you boost the pass rush to fix it, the cpu qb can throw too many picks. You have to find the right medium.

you would think what you are saying is the right thing but its not. actually if you want good d you need to lower your hum d awarness to zero. idk what it is but i have 8 guys in my od and stats to prove that if you want defense in this game you need to lower your hum d awarness to zero. the hum bb is actually worse around 100 better at about 60 to 70. you dont have to believe me but i just 127 tackles with my freshman mlb with d awarness at 0 and break block at 60 and tackle at 50. cpu run block and pass block at 100. at zero it takes the agressiveness out of your d which makes the cpu O play different. its way better. we played with the same sliders last year but with hum d awarness at 40. we had way to many pics, hardly any sacks. all stats are very good now and we got rid of all the hum ints that were killing the cpu. sounds backwards but it made the game play like real football.
