Both players play ROT even 99/1 energy settings. Player 1 has 169 pancakes and Player 2 has 67 pancakes. The builds are virtually duplicate of each other except for a 1 or 2 sp's here and there. Both are set on Run Block tactics. This baffles me and I just don't understand why player 1 is getting 3x the amount of pancakes as player 2 with the same build, VA's etc. The only difference i see is a few sp's more in the Pancake SA as player 2. 3 in pancake vs 1 in pancake shouldn't mean 100 more pancakes does it.

great blocker is a lot of extra block. it lets him "win" more block rolls to even get the chance to cause a pancake. both guys should actually have a near equal chance to pancake the same DE.. but the second guy will get more pancakes because he wins the block roll more often. it's surprising that +4 or 5 block makes that big of a difference.

I noticed that O linemen that are 6'2 or shorter tend to get pancakes easier than taller O linemen. I could be way off but that is my best guess as to an X factor.

You have it backwards, Player 2 has great blocker and only 67 pancakes and Player 1 has showboat blocker instead and has 169.

if those aren't both your players and the other one isn't an open build, i don't think you should be posting it here.

Why, there are no names involved. And no links to players
