does RBP and PBP do anything?

i think pbp counters power moves but what does RBP?

PBP goes vs pmv

PBF goes vs fmv

rbk goes vs bsh (I think)

rbp and rpf don't do anything

Run block power is for lineman built on size and strength. Power runs. 

Run block finesse is for lineman that know how to dance, kidding, that are agile, zone scheme types. 

Secure Protector is needed regardless.

This mirrors my current understanding of blocking calculations. Whenever I review new OL, I'm basically only evaluating; PBP, PBF & RBK.

Anything else is gravy. As noted in comments, Secure Protector is absolutely necessary.

but it doesn't contribute to the blocking

My O-line hasn't felt this good all year... finally got this blocking setup:

• LT - Secure Protector (1AP)
• LG - Secure Protector, Post Up, All Day + Omniscient, Nasty Streak, Matador (1AP) 
• C - Pass Protector, Post Up, All Day (1AP)
• RG - Pass Protector, Post Up, All Day (0AP)
• RT - Edge Protector, All Day (1AP)

Hope yer new Lamar is fun and exciting... these TOTY cards look kind of underwhelming.

nice, i plan on revanping my oline.

Want i had:

• LT - Trent Williams with Pass Protector (1 AP)
• LG - Kyle Long (0 ap "secure protector" from pass and run protector for 0 + all day)
• C - BND Kevin Mawae (2 AP with pass protector, omniscient, all day, and post up)
• RG Will Shields (0 AP All Day)
• RT - Forrest Gregg (0 AP Linchpin)

What I plan to have:

• LT - 49ers TC (1 AP secure pro)
• LG - Jeff Saturday (1 AP secure pro)
• C - BND Kevin Mawae (2 AP with pass protector, omniscient, all day, and post up)
• RG - Kyle Long (0 ap "secure protector" from pass and run protector for 0 + all day)
• RT - Chris Hinton (1 AP pass protector, 0 AP All Day, 0 AP Linchpin)

one thing that sucks is Lamar doesn't get gift wrapped. I will still use him until he sells my game with a delay or dropped pass lol.

Liek, Lamar cannot even equip the Gift-Wrapped ability whatsoever?  I thought people were just saying it "sucks" because he didn't get it discounted, clearly i misunderstood.  So EA mucked up this content?  I've never seen a QB that doesn't get the option to pay 1AP for Gift-Wrapped, that's just silly.  The game basically requires it, due to all the bullshit diving animations and wide open passes that bounce off our intended receiver's hands.  What the heck.

Hopefully they fix that shit soon.  But, uhhhh, yeah those lengthy hot route animations aren't going away anytime soon.  I couldn't use Brock Purdy for that very reason... and plus, his cards just plain stink, but i tried most recently during Most Feared.  Never again.

The one question i had, so Secure Protector includes All-Day component?  I don't need to waste an additional AP to stack All Day + Secure Pro, that would be redundant, correct?  I might have mucked that up late last evening on Big Q, trying to stumble through all those ability buckets.
