Re: Rating Categories, What do they do?

Some guesses, some based on what Ian and Co. has said.

Run Block- Nothing, as far as I know
Pass Block- Nothing, as far as I know
Jumping- Vertical leap, most apparent with receivers and DBs
Kick Return- Ability to catch a kick, pretty much. Avoid muffing punt returns
BC Vision- Ball carrier vision- CPU only, you take over for this attribute
Run Block Str- Power... ability to move a defender once engaged
Run Block FW- Ability to make contact, not get knocked over
Pass BLock Str- Ability to hold up to a bull rush
Pass Block FW- Ability to fend off a finesse move
Awareness- Catch-all for mental aspects of the game.
Man Coverage- Awareness when in man coverage
Zone Coverage- Awareness when in zone coverage

Ive read Awareness has no effect on defense anymore, and if that is true why do some Defensive minded coaches in Franchise award players with an Awareness boast?
Awareness's effect on defense has been mostly mitigated by Zone Cover, Man Cover, and Play Recognition, but I think it's still there for some other minor checks.

Also if A player is one below the weapon limit, for example JaMarcus Russell Has a 94 Throw Accuracy and I hire a coach that adds +3 Throw Acc for QB's and the limit to gain the Weapon is 95 (just guessing, idk what it is off the top of my head) is he treated as a Accurate QB weapon?
Don't think so, I think it has to be natural.

Margin of error on the kick meter I believe, but don't quote me... considering there doesn't seem to be a potential for "error" on the kick meter at all:P
