Just woundering about this new % added for blitzing in the PB.

Does this only make a difference on pass-plays?
Or will it be overall, so that its a chance on making a sack on a rush play aswell?

Hmm, why is it possible to set a percentage for blitzing by DEs?
There is no option to drop them into pass coverage, so I was assuming they are always going for the ball carrier.

Would be right if they blitz only on pass. But if you go for the blitz, and the others run, you might miss your DE then

If I say 15% blitzing DE, do both DE blitz or only one at the same time.
Do only OLB blitz or MLB, too?

What happen If i say 10% DE and 10% LB, would I possible, that a DE and LB blitz at the same play?

I'm pulling from my knowledge of American Football, but a blitz only happens when anyone other than a lineman rushes the QB. In a normal 4 man front, the 2 DE & 2 DT rush. Add a LB, CB, or Safety and it becomes a blitz.

If that is the case, why would I ever have my DE at anything other than 100%? Are there instances in the engine where they don't blitz? Would there be some kind of zone blitz type of scheme if the DE doesn't rush the passer?

If my LB blitzes, does that mean all of them blitz or just 1 of them?

Yeah, I kind of agree. On pass plays, D-linemen are always rushing the QB. A blitz occurs when a LB, S or sometimes even a CB is added to the mix in order to get additional pressure on the QB.
