This also pertains to man awareness. In the skills and attributes tab, Zone awareness is under the "Pass Coverage" section. So you would figure it would only pertain to passing defense. However, the description reads: "Determines how quickly this player reacts to incoming passes or rushing plays"

Is this just a misprint or does zone awareness really help with run defense? Why is zone awareness under "Pass Coverage" when the description clearly states it is run and pass defense?

Same could be said with Man Awareness so I would have to assume its the players field of vision. Does he see the field well or does he lock on to his task and oblivious to what is around him.

I've always viewed it like this:

You have to pass a man or zone awareness check in order to stop using coverage technique to control your player's pathing and react to the hand-off or the passed ball. Depending on a run or pass, you'll either immediately switch from coverage technique to pursuit when the man/zone awr pass checks out, or you'll use man/zone awareness to dictate pathing until a pass is caught, at which point you'll switch to pursuit for pathing.

Blitz Awareness does the same thing if your a pass rusher. You start off using pathing based on the pass rush tactics (not a skill here). Your reaction to the pass or handoff is based on blitz awareness.

What I don't have a good guess at is what a pass rusher does during the flight of a pass. Does blitz awareness work like Man/Zone awareness in helping your pass rusher get a jump on pathing toward the balls target location until a catch is made and pursuit can take over? I think it probably does.

What Galithor said. When the ball is transferred away from the QB, how fast does your player enter pursuit mode, or if a pass how fast he enters ballhawking mode I call it.

Same goes for Blitz aware switches a pass rush assignment from pass rush to pursuite/ballhawking(deflection) mode.

it seems like on a fumble, there is 0 blitz aware, nor man/zone aware check since all players begin running for the ball. Kinda interesting there's not a check for this, even if slight.

from what i've read on skills it's either pass rush tech's maneuver part that is "pursuit" for blitzing or just pursuit

Corndog in a while back made a patch that increased the blitzing halo so when the ball was transferred, and a blitz aware was required to go into what Galithor and I are terming 'pursuit' mode, or, 'kill the man with the ball that isnt the QB" mode, the halo auto forced the switch if the ball carrier was close enough to the pass rusher. We are just saying the same type of mechanic works on guys who don't have a little red line pointing at the QB as an assignment with regards to man aware and zone aware weather it be a ball transfer via run or pass.
