Hmm, maybe Edge Threat works now...

Seems like edge threat may work better now. Glad they penalized constant DB blitzing

What does this mean? 

Tuning to fatigue logic so defenders who are not dedicated pass rushers will suffer a more severe fatigue penalty when engaging with a pass blocker that is significantly bigger than them. 

• DEV NOTE: With the prevalence of Defensive Back blitzes being used as staple defenses, we noticed that there were many cases where the DB would get picked up by a Tight End or an Offensive Lineman that was significantly bigger and stronger than the defensive back but the blitzing DB would be able to engage in this mismatch over and over again without fatiguing. Now if a defender who is not a dedicated pass rusher having a Power Move and Finesse Move rating below 70 engages in a blocking mismatch where they are outweighed by 90 lbs or more, they will suffer a significant fatigue hit.

Weird that they address that but not fatigue for constant hurry up (or all the other broken shit).

I think it's affecting more than DBs. My LBs are fatiguing and subbing out constantly. I hope this is just a me thing and they didn't fuck the whole game up.

Oh wow, go figure -- EA can't properly code some (any) new changes.  They've basically admitted they have no clue how to fix catching (on either side of the ball), requiring either Gift Wrapped (for offense) or Pick / LurkArtist (on defense) so our professional athletes can catch a damn wide open pass.  Unbelievable.

And it'll take them a week+ to roll back these game-breaking changes, before admitting they have no clue what they even did, obviously didn't test anything... while ultimately, we, the player base, are made to suffer.  I want to say "unbelievable" but at this point, i'm the asshole for getting my hopes up and wanting or expecting a fair, balanced, competitive gameplay experience for the masses.  Oof.
