Backbreaker Patch "Greathouse" Impressions (PS3, 360)

Are you doing the user catch?

I remember 2k5 had a ton of drops but if you user caught the ball it was rarely dropped.

There is no user catch as far as I can tell.

To user catch, change to the WR and hold the focus button.

And I'm supposed to have time to do that when throwing to a receiver running a quick slant 3 yards in front of me? I shouldn't have to do that to get him to catch the f'ing ball.

Are there any left handed QB's in this game? I just don't like seeing Vick drop back as a righty!!

The game is very difficult now. I never lost on Hard before, and post-patch I'm 2-3. Honestly, I think they went a bit too far. It feels like playing NCAA on Heisman now. I just feel cheated. WRs can't catch, run plays get blown up in the backfield, there's perfect man coverage about 70% of the time. Tried playing on Medium and it was a little better, but I'll have to do several games to get a true feel for it.

Hard is too Hard for me right now post-patch...I was getting killed 28-0 when I quit and started a Medium game...hopefully when I completely master it I can start playing it again but right now Medium is a good difficulty I feel like
