When does clutch trait come into effect if at all?

I dont think anyone beside someone with access to the code or works at EA could say for certain, but a google search shows ( I do not take credit if this is right/wrong/outdated but just what I could google as I am curious too)  Also not sure if this affects MUT or is more of a franchise/regs feature
How does the clutch trait actually work in the game?

• Quarterbacks who are clutch affect themselves and the entire offensive line. (Must be losing by 8 or fewer points or tied within last 2 minutes or OT)

• RB, WR, and TE affect only themselves. (Must be losing by 8 or fewer points or tied within last 2 minutes or OT)

• Kickers have boosted accuracy and power. (Must be losing by 3 or fewer points or tied within last 2 minutes or OT. Also, must be fourth down unless there are under 10 seconds left in the game)

• For defense, this trait only matters for DBs and LBs. The clutch trait will only affect the given player (not teammates). (Must be within a possession [winning or losing] in last 2 minutes or OT)

Ratings that are adjusted include:

• QB: Awareness, Carry, Play Action, Throw Accuracy, Throw On Run

• OL: MAJOR boost to Pass Block

• RB: Carry, Catching, Pass Block, Stamina

• WR: Catch In Traffic, Catching, Release, Route Running, Spectacular Catch, Stamina

• TE: Catch In Traffic, Catching, Pass Block, Release, Route Running, Spectacular Catch

• K: Kick Accuracy, Kick Power

• S: Awareness, Catch In Traffic, Catching, Hit Power, Play Recognition, Pursuit, Tackle

• CB: Awareness, Catch In Traffic, Catching, Hit Power, Man Coverage, Play Recognition, Pursuit, Tackle

• LB: Awareness, Catch In Traffic, Catching, Hit Power, Play Recognition, Pursuit, Tackle

Thank you- insanely useful.
