Was the last fix supposed to fix it?Originally posted by Bort
No, I left out that portion of the update until next season, after the hubbub over just updating the order of deciding blocking.The hubbub was me. I argued that fundamentally changing the blocking code 1 game before the playoffs was a bad idea. It affects the RDE sometimes blowing past the G, but would impact GL defenses and especially any defense with 4 D-linemen smushed close together. Instead of the DT shooting through and shutting down the pitch play this alignment would result in all of them getting blocked and the pitch going for huge yards. My argument was not that the changes were not a good idea, but that changing something that may force most teams to change many of their defensive plays right before the playoffs and with no chance to see what works and what doesn't would be a bad idea, and that it would be better to wait until next season to add that section of the code. I know it's in the changelog. It's not a habit of bort to add something there and not put it in, but he changed his mind at the last minute and hasn't changed the changelog.
I just added them to my TODO list so I won't forget (like I had with the DE flats thing forever). I think I will start with the CB coverage option first, though, since that's more important than focus IMO.
