Part of me wonders though is this a specific type of pass rusher that is causing this animation script with the offensive tackles. Kruger and Upshaw have pretty high power move ratings. Suggs does too, although he's not in these videos. I wonder if those LSU DE's are more power move guys? I'm not sure though because I get it with the USC DE's on occasion along with the Oregon guys as well. I need to play as KState and see. What I can say is the OLB's just based on playing with Bama, their rush angles out of 3-4 Odd result in a lot of bouncing with the offensive tackle. I

I ran with Alabama the other day just to get a look at the edge rush of the backers in passing situations. Every passing down I got into a Nickel 2-4-5, pass commit, base rush. The pressure was virtually non-existent. I can remember one play where I saw the OLB engage and work up field. Now I don't know if that's due to there being no Courtney Upshaw on the field or if there is something going on with the 3-4, because as I've always noticed, the pass commit, which relies on jumping the snap, only seems to function with down linemen and not backers. I'm going to try again later and put the backers on the line in the Dime and see if I get anything different.
Conversely, I've been killing it with LSU and USC -- LSU especially. I generate 4-5 sacks a game.
And this whole thread had me thinking back to this one started by Ian three years ago where he was working on tweaking the pass rush before Madden 10 dropped:

Has anyone from EA even acknowledged this as an issue since then?
As you can see in the vid, it's still wins and losses and "effectiveness" seems to be defined not by pressure per se, but by how fast the defensive linemen got free. Interesting thing I saw was how the edge rushers were more apt to look for an inside move, however. At the 30 sec mark, it looks like Suggs goes for a pretty nice swim move. I'm wondering what factor playart played in that. I do remember that Madden 10 and 11 had more defensive plays where the edge rushers had inside tracks like the old Buzz Duo play.
