[over the mountain]

Anyone got any tips strategies for d lineman. I usually control a linebacker or d lineman when im on D. it seems like when i push the R3 left or right to do a finesse move to that selected side I dont get any separation or break the block.

pushing up on R3 usually does the spin move which I end falling down on half the time. pushing down on R3 does a power push type move which is minimally effective.

i have been trying to break away from blocks without having to use the R3 stick (just trying to move the d lineman left or right after teh snap and try and get around the blockers) which has given me some success.

is there a button/move you can do to break blocks more consistently? any tips?
