Donny, Josh, Phil, myself, and the rest of the design team are not fans of lead block control. It gives a big boost to impact / pancake blocking if you're controlling the blocker, but nothing about it mimics real life football. Seems like kind of the definition of a gimmick...it's used mostly only by online exploiters and glitchers.

We would like to remove it. Not just make it an option and turn it off by default...remove it completely. We like the idea of 'starting fresh' and really re-setting the direction of the Madden franchise, and this seems like a good place to start.

Thoughts? Any reason why you think it should stay?
