Do not bump your post, it's against the site TOS.

The only way I've been able to consistently do it is to use the strafe button to position myself facing the incoming ball. If I'm facing any other direction, I end up doing unwanted animations like over the shoulder catches, or worse, the bend over and catch it at knee level animation... which is the exact opposite of what you want.

Also, try to position yourself about half step or two between the target where the ball is supposed to land, depending on how much arc is on the ball... lots of arc means little to no distance between you and the target.

Make sure you have come to a stop or close enough to it. Time it right and then press the Triangle button (PS3, not sure the corresponding "catch" button is on Xbox).

thats just so hard to do given the camera angle, somehow someway they need to have customized camera angles per position, so a WR can look back for the ball and those sorts of things....i sort of know how the icon works where the pass is being thrown, i can kind of feel when the pass is getting close but its still very hard to judge, i want to adjust my route at times so i can come into the motion with some momentum, maybe that will work but it will still benearly impossible given the camera angle....you cant see the ball lol!

The horrible camera angle killed WR RTG for me. I think I only made it half way through my Frosh season.

As for the deep ball, try to get to the target as fast as possible, then flick the R-stick down (to turn and face the ball) and hit Y right before the ball arrives. Short answer: it sucks and they need to totally rework it for next year.

The defensive camera might actually suit the WR pretty well, especially if it flips around once you catch the ball.

i mean it is pretty bad, but do you notice on the marker where the ball is being thrown how the circles on the inside get smaller to bigger or something like that, im not totally sure but i think i noticed it changing when the ball is getting closer, if anyone has mastered this and knows what im talking about please share the love
