I would be inclined to believe you take AWR as the overriding factor in things like play recognition.

I totally agree with what you are saying, what the hell do you base your assessment on? The simple answer is, I dont know, I dont have the game. But using common sense, and what I have learnt from the past years of Madden, I think if you are looking at getting a good CB lets say, use AWR as the overriding attribute in things to do with footballing intelligence.

Strength has never meant much for RBs, I used to think it would mean better stiff arms, but as far as I am aware, they have added stiff arm to the list for RBs (may be wrong there).

I think you just have to use your judgement. But I cant see someone having a 98 AWR but 57 Play Recognition rating, so I cant imagine it forces you to choose THAT much. In other words, if you have good AWR, sense would say you have good play recognition too, the two sort of go hand in hand.
