Re: Clint Oldenburg Explains the Strength Rating For Linemen in Madden

I'm willing to hear things out on a series of ratings to see if what they are describing is being matched animation wise. I want to work through the logic though. If Strength = how long an OL can hold a block then one would think strength for DL/LB = how fast they can shed. Well let's hear it from Clint

Quote:
If the disparity is largely in the blocker's favor, he will be able to hold his block for a longer-than-average amount of time based on the size of the disparity (not every time). If the STR rating matchup is in favor of the defender, he will be able to disengage from the block much quicker than normal on average (again, not every time). And if the two players have similar STR ratings, you'll see varied results in wins and losses over the course of game, but neither will dominate in this one specific area.
If STR does this for defenders then how significant is the Block Shed rating? What's it's impact in a player's disengagement?
