Also, with the changes you've made to blitzing LB's and making omnipotent O-linemen... are we going to make Disguise Blitz worth a shit or is it just a LOLSA... or are you trying to force blitzing towards the form of stronger block breakers and move away from the speedy around the blocker/shoot the gap types?Lead logic generally works as it should from what I've seen; often times a pass led short is either the QB sucking, or he's trying not to lead out of bounds or into additional defenders. I think sometimes receivers might end up catching the ball a little early or something, though, if the pass is sort of along their path, even though it would hit them more in the chest one or two ticks in the future. I might play with adding some look-forward logic to catching.
Disguise blitz works much better when defenders are not right on the line or near it. Set your blitzers further back and blockers will have a harder time passing vision checks, if that's your strategy. Really, any blocker should be able to see a guy 3 feet in front of him.
