Well it just completely removed a lot of user control in the game for no reason.

But yes you can take your time to call an individual audible to make a DE have a zone responsibility. You cannot move him from his spot on the front however. So quick reactions are no longer possible.

For instance: if I see a full back go in motion to the strong side and I realize a pitch is coming I cannot run my DE over to where that pitch will go. I cannot even back him up at the snap (immediately swallowed by Oline) unless I have time to hit the 4 button combo to put him in a QB spy. Even then I'll be out of position at the snap.
I could switch to a LB and completely bust his coverage running out there but then when it's not a pitch I'm screwed.

If you played primarily as DE for years you would realize how much it affects you. And it's a pointless feature to restrict their movement like this

Basically all this comes down to is a bunch of people that don't play primarily as a DE don't care that that style of play has been completely ruined. And that DEs have no pre snap range of motion.

Just as I wouldn't care if your safeties or linebackers you play with were stuck in their pre snap positions after years of you diagnosing plays and putting yourself in the best position before the snap.
