I hate blocking pathing and RB pathing, so much. Don't really understand why some games it's gorgeous, and other games they can't even tie their own shoelaces.

RB pathing. The way this is blocked, it should be a home run, but I have no idea what the RB thinks it should be doing here:

Blocker pathing. I have numbers to the outside...which is the direction the play is going. Yet the fullback decides to come so far inside that he slips through the LT. If it's an off-tackle play, sure, why not. That? What the hell is he thinking? I swear the more I raise Lead Block Awareness, the worse their block pathing gets.

Anyways, good d-lines are really problematic for my team. If you were going to give the Win to one group on your team, it would be your d-line. They made a lot of big plays.

People have theorized that the more you have in lead block/run block awareness it acts as a "bubble" and the first in the new increased range is who they block (even if that isn't who they should based on pathing). Would be interested to watch a FB with low, say 30s in both blocking aware skills up in the pro/vet leagues to see if he just follows the intended path and then blocks the guy in front of him instead of "looking" for a block even if that takes him off the correct path

All my FBs and Linemen have sub 40 LB and RB awareness. I definitely feel like it helps with my slower beast HBs. I've got You're Next on them now so we will see how the combo works.

I don't think You're Next is worth anything. By the time the pancake happens what they do next is irrelevant. It has to be an insta-cake. And since they're often engaged with DT's/DE's or LB's that's not likely to happen.

It could materialize if they don't have a pathing snafu, actually get up to the 2nd level and block a SS, but for that to matter the RB would have to be REALLY slow. I don't know if any S* RB power monsters have that slow speed.

Interesting, a low awareness sweet spot. My Fullback on HAHA already has 40 Lead Block Awareness, I think I'll leave him with that for awhile and see what happens.

That's smart imo. I took a FB to about 90 LBA once and it basically broke him. Really he was broken long before 90, but I wanted to see if he'd push through the brokenness and get smarter with really high LBA. Nope, it just got worse and worse. I definitely believe the bubble theory of blocking awareness.

Depending on the plays you run, I think 40s or 50s is the sweet spot right now.

What about awareness on linemen?

I'm done giving them money, so I really don't care about game flaws at this point. It all ends soon.

GG Hall of Fame. Somehow that was a damn good game. I had a shot to win it at the end but couldn't pull it out.

My team went from not being able to run on you at all, to all of a sudden able to make plays.

GG Beers. I think conditioning killed our D in the 2nd half down the stretch as well as poor tackling. Good run by your HB to win the game!

I think our decision to pass on this 3rd down came back to bite us. http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/302568/1181519

GG Stunts! I knew we were in for a long day when this happened...

The game was pretty crazy and back and forth. Score does not show just how close of a game it really was. GG

It's crazy how many games we have like this. I found the pinball football formula for sure!

That WR highlight was nice.

Sometimes spin move does works out. It's possible a juke would've gotten tackled by Victoria's Secret who just got up off the ground.

It was like the gridiron interpretation of The Nutcracker!
