i really think its tied into USER pass block setting and CPU pass rush. i was gonna post something on lack of pancakes too. but i think if u have lower pass block like 45 (user) and 60 (CPU) pass rush then u wont generate alot of pancakes. test it out. play one game with (user) 60 PassBlock and (cpu) 40 pass rush. after the game check your pancakes, i bet you have some.
i check all stats for every game while im tweaking my sliders. its looking like keeping the user pass block and cpu pass rush close like 50/55 is the way to go without breaking the pancake numbers. cause if your lineman dont get pancakes then they will never get awards
can someon double check behind me to see if im correct in my theory? im at work atm
