At the tail end of the MUT 23 cycle, Ability Points were reduced on Offense from 12 to 6, and on Defense from 18 to 6. It led to a far less overpowered, Arcadey experience, and it is still in place from the beginning of MUT 24. Prior to the change, building an awesome Pass Rushing Defensive Line was a waste of resources, because both OTs would have the Edge Protector Ability, with the Centre and both Guards having Secure Protector, so the Pass Rush penetration from your Defensive Line would be nonexistent.
With this reduction of Ability Points now in place though, it's worth giving some thought to how it might affect the building of your Defensive Line. One might think no Offensive Linemen will have Abilities anymore, with all 6 being used on the QB and WRs, so Defensive Line penetration is going to massively increase, but my guess is most people are still going to put Edge Protector on their OTs if they can get it for 1 AP, which means Edge Rushers won't necessarily benefit.
I think the middle of the Offensive Line is going to be the area where Abilities are no longer used, and if that turns out to be the case, DT Power Rushers are going to be the Defensive Linemen that start to get far more penetration than they used to, in the days when all 5 Offensive Linemen on every Team had Pass Protection Abilities.
