Lineman missing blocks, corners lining up wrong, receivers running the wrong route etc. My question is could this translate into Madden. I know we already have a dose of missed blocking assignments in madden but this is as far as I know not related to awr rating, correct? Would it infuriate people if your computer controlled receivers with low awr occasionally ran the wrong route? RB's missing a blocking assignment, linebacker dropping back when they were supposed to blitz. If done with the appropriate frequency I think it would really help differentiate rookies (or any player with low awr) from vets or guys with high overall awr.. What do you think....would it piss people off or be welcomed?

I agree...I wouldn't want it to be overdone but that awr should affect you . I remember on old gen with the QB vision cone low awr for a QB meant a narrow cone (and lots of trying to manually move it) and harder to complete passes. High awr was a big cone and lots of completions....it should matter. I have a rookie back in chise whose rating is a 72. His truck, speed, agility, etc are all in the high 90's. His awr was real low leading to the 72 ovr. But I use him and led the league in rushing 3 out of his 4 years (he missed 6 games one year). His awr just didn't seem to matter.
