Whats with the psychic defensive linemen?

Now I'm all for the d line jumping and tipping balls left and right. But man is it me or do these linemen jump at the exact time you press the button to pass? The second or millisecond I press A or X or whatever the defensive tackle begins his animation.

I know this happens in real life for sure but its a last minute deal, the defender puts a hand up as the ball reaches their proximity not as the quarterback decides who's open.

Just saying...

It does seem like they are psychic, but I've batted some balls down myself using the DL. Its all about timing.

Re: Whats with the psychic defensive linemen?

Yeah I'm playing RTG as a Purdue Quarterback, not fun lol, and I notice this alot. Seems obvious, but every time i pass to the check down running back or tightend over the middle, deflected or not, the d line jumps when i think about throwing it.

Re: Whats with the psychic defensive linemen?

Ever hear of throwing lanes? This year's game requires more pocket presence/awareness than past versions. Not trying to play the "I'm awesome and you're a scrub" card, but this happens to me less than once per game. Not an issue at all.

You are playing that card and I know about passing lanes no need to belittle anybody. You ever hear about passing over the oline? no need to get in my face about this

Re: Whats with the psychic defensive linemen?

Throwing lanes are great and should be used when available, but offensive linemen are taught to keep D-linemen's hands down. It is on the O-line for not doing their job when a pass gets tipped at the line. Unfortunately with the game, it seems as if D-linemen can always get their hands up whenever they please.
