For all the problems this game has, EA really HAS to fix

The teammates running into each other (more importantly, getting stuck on each other) sure it happens irl but MUCH less often and when it does they dont run in place like their on treadmills and never get out of each others way for 3 secondsl. Its infuriating reading a play and reacting perfectly on defense only to be dragged away by your own teammate setting a pick for the offense.

Its even WORSE, having a sure TD but running in place with your blocker trying to run back through you and holding you up for the defense to correct itself and catch you from behind before you can get away. The blocker issue has been a problem forever its unbelievable.

It's beyond ridiculous how many times I'm running and stopped only because a teammate randomly gets right in front of me and blocks me. This happens running or in YAC situations, sometimes even when going to the house a different receiver will go exactly in front of me and bump me just enough to force me into a tackle from a DB catching up. That's not realistic at all, without the player causing that being investigated for collusion.

Its super bad lol even the slightly more acceptable/realistic versions (id say at least half of inside running plays) like when your back acts like an OL engaged in a block is an unavoidable force field that he auto bounces off dramatically to side/back step leading to a loss or no gain when it should have been a fairly easy obstacle to navigate for a gain happen far too often need to be programmed to play out better.

For the ones in the open though there should just be a realistic auto reaction of shoving them aside quickly and losing hardly any momentum at all.
