O-line Improvements

It seems like every time the people at EA fix one problem, a new one pops up.I shouldn't even say that about the O-line because they never really fixed it very well. What sucks about pass protection is you have to shift your line. If the D-line shifts and you don't shift your O-line in that direction, they WILL NOT pick it up on their own.

Another problem with pass protection is the CPU's pass protection is 10x better than human pass protection. Reason #1 being that CPU linemen knock everybody down like they're the Incredible Hulk and the D-line is a bunch of PeeWee League kids. Secondly, the CPU O-line doesn't create a pocket. What I mean by that is they all drop back like two steps and block everyone. Normally, the Tackles drop futher back while the Guards and Center stay up. This creates a pocket and it protects the QB from speed rushers around the edge. But the CPU's pass protection is so good, they never form a pocket and it is pretty much impossible to beat one of their tackles around the corner. Meanwhile, human controlled O-linemen can get beat around the corner by guys who aren't even fast.

So EA please remove those pancake blocks from the game and give the CPU more realistic pass protection.
