This is the norm. If they have sub 60 man it more likely that they will "slip" and fall down. 40 man is unusable . Really now certain young guys need to sit . Or not play at all . If you look at zone the threshold is more like 70. Age has a bit to do with it, but those are good standards to go with .
Same goes for line play if a lower strength ratings persist . Sub 70 for online will lose out to equal or higher strength from the defenders . ....the difference here is if that's the case it doesn't matter the technical attributes . A 40 technique will be at a 100.
The best part of that TE PASS play was he wasn't that technical him self . When a guy gets beat like that . ...he gets beat bad. It is a small range when and if they get beat the way it happens IRL. It looks good when a 100 speed 100 route beats let us say 77 speed 100 man. A really really small window for the QB to sneak it in. Anything far from 90 and it get exponentially bad looking .
Try blitzes ever time and the qb might just miss that easy throw.....lol
Keep all your important ratings near 90.....like this code was tested and you will get a half way decent looking game.
The whole system helps create elite players, but in reality it just made a whole bunch a liability . So I am still on the fence. But I wish they "slipped" less
