Watched a lot of football last night, NEVER saw..

You're a Georgia Tech fan, what do you care about passing! JK. I pretty much agree with everything you said; but I still maintain that I can throw over their heads, so it's not impossible.

Can being the key word there, as in, not all the time.

It is broken, it's a fact. I've posted several images on various sites that show the ball is thrown entirely too low. There's an image on TGT I posted of a 30 yard post route being tipped by a LB at a depth of 8 yards and he barely had to jump.

Let me be clear, I am loving the game play and I have found sliders I like and am patiently waiting on the patch and tuners to advance in my Dynasty. But I find the super LB's to be annoying from a realism/simulation stand point. I'm fine having a challenge and needing to be smart in the passing game but I want the the CPU to beat me in a realistic way, with good coverage, not NFL Blitz style heroics.

I hear ya and I'm not disputing what you're saying but you know what, if the LB's didn't make those plays the QB's line would look something like 35-38 for 550 yards and 6 TD's every game...Think about it, the passing game is so scripted and devoid of any real challenge other than just finding the open guy and hitting that button that it would be impossible to stop anyone if we didn't have leaping LB's. It doesn't bother me as much as most people...matter of fact I'd rather more defense than less...but I think I'm in the minority.

If the devs put good coverage into the game then there would be no need for line drive passes.

hold down the LT when passing over the middle!! (xbox360)
it has completely changed the game for me. super lb or not they dont even try for it.

Can you post these pics, I am interested in seeing them.

while trajectory is an issue, i still feel its the broken movement that causes the issues,

when a LB can be running hard left but jump immediately right, with out turning, shuffling his feet, slowing down and tearing all his leg joints to bits thats what causes the issues...

While this is true, it also has a lot to do with what rosters you are using. If you are using any sort of rosters where LBers all have 80+ agility you will see this, but if you use rosters with lower agility ratings for LBers, you won't see it as much.
