Pass Blocking

Yeah so has anybody found that there team just does not pass block at all? It would be nice in 09 if the game actually gave you some time to look at your WR.

Go change the sliders so your pass blocking is higher, or get lineman with higher pass blocking.

Pass blocking sucks even if you bump sliders up to 100%

I agree, it makes it much more better.

You really think so? I seem to have great success with getting my 3-5 seconds in the pocket. Besides the occasional PA it is very effective.

I hope to draft a couple linemen in the draft that should help with pass protection but if that does not work I will try the sliders, its weird though cause in the past Maddens I have had time to look for at least two of the receivers on the field compared to the one I look for now.

Playing All Madden without blocking AI on your side is frustrating. I had to scramble with Marc Bulgar just to get enough time for my receivers to finish their routes.

Blocking is a hard thing to do, it's rare to have a game where the O-Line dominates the D-Line. So cut your linemen so slack.

both run and pass blocking are very weird and very unrealistic sometimes they dominate ( 1 out of 10 ) other times they get smoked ( 9 out of 10 plays)

Yeah I dont expect my line to dominate for the whole game but I usually cant get steady pass blocking at all, a few times I have snapped the ball and its like the line is not even there and I am sacked just like that.

Lol. At least the pass blocking is better than the run blocking. Good luck running against a team with a good defense.
