They need to put positional reads into the game based on formations then allow the attributes to determine how the players perform on execution of these reads.

(UF vs Ole Miss or Utah vs Bama)

To watch my center make the wrong block on a off guard run based on whether the defense blitzes is ridiculous. When they blitz, the center will double the DT and allow the LB to walk into the backfield. If the LB is in man or zone, the center will progress to the second level and take the LB out of the play. That's just foolish football.
The thing is, I was fine with the way it used to be. I've had my fair share of games where I was upset by lesser teams and beaten by lesser players. That's also where working sliders really help.

But yeah, you're spot on about the blitzers just walking right on through while the linemen turn in the wrong direction. I don't mind it sometimes, but it seems to happen more often now than it did in the past which is just unacceptable.
