    What does awareness affect?

    From the EA LTP1 post:
    "• The Awareness of a player does NOT affect his ability to Run Routes, Play Defense, or Block. Each of those have their own ratings that drive how good the player is:"

    If awareness doesn't affect the player in the above regard, then what does awareness actually affect?
    NFL - Cincinnati Bengals
    NCAA - Ohio State Buckeyes
    MLB - Cincinnati Reds
    NBA - Miami Heat
    NHL - Columbus Blue Jackets

      Russ Kiniry said it effects nothing outside of who the QB throws to.

      So, basically, awareness doesn't matter for any other position (who woulda thunk it).

      and the only thing it matters for, it allows QBs to automatically know who is open on every down - aka, robo QB.

      Awesome attributes put to work in this football game I must say...

        So basically, AWR has gone from being assumed as the most important ability for a players success, to actaully being one of the most useless abilities in the game, right?

            this was the case on older gen i guess.
            Now, with all those extra ratings, this rating is only for QB.

                I don't think you guys understood what he was saying....

                It still effects a players awareness on the field such as jumping off sides or commiting penalties in general.

                It effects a players ability to focus on the field. For example a kicker with 88 accuarcy and 80 awareness is going to make more kicks than a kicker a kicker with 88 accuarcy and 40 awareness

                A lower awaress player isn't going to make plays consistenlty as a high awareness player. Yes the ratings for a specific skill like catching or takling releates to that rating itself but awareness still puts a player into position to make the best position to make the tackle.

                Other wise you'll just have 11 guys on defense standing around and not knowing where the ball carrier is at after the snap.

                They won't make a tackle unless the guy runs directly to them with the ball.

                        That's actually completely not what he said at all, unless you are talking about SIMMED games.

                          Re: What does awareness affect?

                          So if awareness is only a QB stat, then it's safe to assume that other players don't need high awareness ratings.

                          So, if that's the case, then slow player progression is not negatively effected by low AWR ratings (except the QB). It must also mean that all of the other ratings are what are causing the minimal player progression, which were part of Russ' comments regarding the patch by the middle of the month.

                          What it really means is that I'm not going to worry anymore about player AWR ratings during recruiting.

                          But what is strange is... During a RTG career, when your player "Studies his playbook" he gets boosts in awareness. I'm currently playing a RTG with a MLB, and he played much better when he had a +24 boost that week to his AWR rating. The ability to shed blocks, etc. The following week, he only had a +4 boost, and I got blocked far too easily and couldn't break free.

                          In other words, I'm not 100% sure the statement about AWR ratings is correct, but that's only my experience from last night.

                            I thought play recognition controlled that for defenders.

                              Awareness effects more "IN" gameplay than just QB play. I read what he said, but after lots of simming and watching cpu vs cpu game with updated rosters I know for a fact that Awareness affects how player perform on field.
