TE can't be blocking if he is sent out on pass patern ; can he ? This can be done as I understand by unchecking the blocking box on a formation that you can still do a run play from . So, if TE isn't blocking, I was wondering if it effected the success of the run play ?
THIS is a very, very key question regarding the engine. I do not know how this actually works.
1. Option 1: Regardless of settings, the TE, WRs, and other RBs block on any running play.
2. Option 2: You set up "pass patterns" in the formation setting and regardless of the play call, the RB/TE/WR "run patterns".
Perhaps there are other options that could be correct, but....I think this is a crucial portion of the game that we should all know the answer to. I understand the engine to operate as Option 1. If is is Option 2....then my settings are all jacked up. Having said that, I do not run from a passing formation or pass from a running formation, as a general rule. So perhaps I have not explored how this may actually work.
