Tip Drill

[petersondagreat]

I was watching some Ed Reed highlights today and I was thinking madden needs more tipped INT's watching ed reed makes you realize how many interceptions in the league are caused by some some sort of mishandling of the ball weather its a big hit jarring the ball out or a LB or a DL getting their hand in the passing lane or maybe just a wr with stone hands. Now I do realize that these things do occur in madden but they don't happen enough especially lineman get their hands on the ball. Plus when they happen in madden they look terrible

Re: Tip Drill

I can certainly get behind this idea. When I think back to interceptions that I've either made or threw in the past few Maddens I've played, they seem to all be directly to the player intercepting the ball. I actually can't recall many, if any, passes that were tipped prior to being picked off. In the NFL a lot of interceptions are off of tipped passes or the ball being misdirected somehow.

Re: Tip Drill

But i just hope if EA does one day implement this they don't go to the extreme every other play theres a ball floating up for grabs

Re: Tip Drill

i played couple games last few days that had ints tipped then picked off some by me some by the cmp so its in the game i just dont think they happen as much like the real nfl,ive also had big hits that popped ball loose and picked off as well.

That's the problem. They'll implement it, and then every other pass will be floating in the air while you try and get your receiver in perfect position to get in front of the corner to catch it. It's something that should happen once or twice a game, not one or twice a drive.

and thats what im afraid of they act like they dont know how to add things in modesty without overdoing it. I remember one of those ncaa football games had it back on the ps2 and they over did it the ball would be thrown on a rope and soon as it was tipped it turned into a baloon or a beach ball

Re: Tip Drill

hell no..

there have been some many times when the qb gets hit and a lineman catches it like the lineman got ed reed hands and ball skills and scores!!!!!

no more tipped balls

Re: Tip Drill

Im not talking about that Im talking about when the QB actually throws the ball down field

[shabazz916]

Re: Tip Drill

well that would be cool but the prob is when its tipped they would have to also make wr. able to catch it again

Ive also seen tipped balls result in a WR making the catch

Re: Tip Drill

Part of the problem is that users go for INTs wayyyy more often than real NFL players. If users tipped passes more often, this sort of thing would happen more often.

Re: Tip Drill

Most of the picks I throw are actually tips of some sort, or coming off the WR's hands.

Re: Tip Drill

I think the QB should throw in the dirt more when getting hit, and I think tipped balls should increase for INTs. They're the easiest balls to intercept if a defender is under it.

I saw it happen early in NCAA Football '11 before the tuning adjustments. It's realistic, and it should be implemented better.

Re: Tip Drill

what happened to bench sprint rookie pass and catch modes?

Re: Tip Drill

Excellent idea.. Would make throwing near players of the Ed Reed caliber very dangerous. Remember Troy Polamalu's intercept in the Superbowl against the Seahawks i think it was.
