OL out of position

I think the only thing affected is an OOP o-line at center will have decreased awareness

Thanks Droblunts and Peatrick for jumping into this conversation and confirming what most of us already know... 

The killabuddaman guy is just completely mis-informed, or is too new to the game to understand!!!

I am in danger of repeating myself at this point, but seriously wish i had actual data to try and demonstrate how (or if) the OOP Center scenario works, or even IF it works as it was described to me.  Assuming natural position Center, we'd DEF want the highest possible Awareness rating, as this will boost/bump (by replacing) the Awareness rating of the lowest overall O-lineman.  Unfortunately, beyond that simple description, we're all basically operating off of partial information and it becomes difficult to back up with any hard numbers.

Here's some more info: https://youtu.be/qHEd4OqpISU

We get a lot of questions about ratings, especially the Awareness rating. The truth is, over 50 things within the game are influenced by Awareness, but they're all in relation to the CPU controlled players (After-all, a user can only control one of the 11 players at a time, so this becomes very important.) Here are a few examples: Determining CPU reaction time when scrambling. Determining when to break out of a run route. Determining if a player is aware of a blocker. Determining the chance of a false start.

So, uhhhh a non-college educated, former QA Tester and massive Cowgrrls fanboi is basically in charge of ratings.  Anyone with actual knowledge of how the game works, from a technical standpoint, probably moved on long, long ago.  He's been with the company since 2015, to the best of my limited knowledge.  There are allegedly fifty-two total ratings per player... so i guess almost everything can be impacted by Awareness, but as with most everything else in this game, it's a buggy ass, oft broken, mess.

Or for further background information, please see this great post from last year, namely the portion i'll clip below: https://www.mut.gg/news/top-10-offensive-linemen-in-madden-23/

Pouncey has the highest awareness rating (97) of any center in the game. This is important because your center’s awareness rating replaces the lowest awareness rating on your offensive line. For example, if your left guard has 87 AWR and is the lowest among your entire line, Pouncey’s AWR effect will bring it up to 97 instead. You won’t see it in the depth chart, but EA has confirmed this is happening under the hood.

Accounts mean nothing. Stopped reading after that idiocy. Every thing you say here on out has zero credibility

What makes you such an expert? Does it make you feel better to come on an online forum and degrade people for their opinion.

Let me guess,

EX football player, high school maaayyyybe college. Was very good and would have went pro but ya know this excuse or that excuse. 

How about you not degrade people and respect different opinions or get lost internet tough guy.
