Ok what Rex actually said about suction was...."with the way it was before you could be a foot away and miss the tackle because it didn't allow for spatial distance to make a tackle and in real life you're going to grab, lunge, reach, and dive to make a tackle. So part of the new mechanic is being able to match your tackle from a distance as long as you have the proper facing alignment."

So it wasn't about making it easier as much as it was making it more like real life. I understand that the old era left a bad taste in many people's mouths but you have to understand this is a new era and things are changing for the sake of realism not difficulty. If difficulty was the problem, why make QBs inaccurate and change that? It's easier if you can use whatever QB and be successful but the days of people using Terrelle Pryor like RG3 are over, ratings matter now and it's about time.
