Attributes

Does awareness matter, and what does it do

Does return matter, or is it just speed and acceleration 

Does run and pass block matter, or is it just power and finesse

What does pursuit do, and does it matter

And does play recognition matter

awareness is useless.

return is useless.

passblock finesse counter finesse move for defense. pass block power counters power move. Runblock counters blockshed. theres a more calculated formula that takes their weight, strength and stats into consideration to determine superwin/win block shed animations but as a whole this is what they mean.

pursuit use to mean more in old gen madden as it helped defender go sideline to sideline. pursuit angles are so bad in this game i dont think it matters. Linebackers generally have higher pursuit than secondary players. When you think youre going to get the edge running the ball and get hawked down for a TFL thats pursuit kicking in

play recognition is useless. Focus on these stats for your defense

DL: Strength, blockshed, weight, fmv, pmv and then speed.

Everyone else doesnt matter. Look for height speed zone and man for your backers and secondary. Just remember, we all run different defenses and alot of players that work well for me wont work well for you.

ive been top 100 in head to head, squads and regs for over 6 years now. Im not debating this with anyone. Take this however you want

So you look for  weight on line. Does that even matter either.   Im not sure anything does.

It all matters just how much. While the end to end centurion does offer some good advice,  unless someone knows how the game's engine computes each action in the game it is a guess at best. Remember it all comes down to a die roll  and some attributes probably matter more than others. In a complex game with hundreds of calculations for each action to say it is "useless" is probably incorrect.
