Miami WR defies laws of physics and motion [VIDEO]

Yeah, this is not cheese. The animation is not exactly what EA was trying to convey but this is similar to that Calvin Johnson play above me. He is not diving in the other direction. I think EA was going for the animation where a receiver is going one way yet the ball is behind him and he slips extending himself. It looks a little off but looks fine to me.

That's BS right there other folks can try to defend it but you got rob. Your CB was playing great defense Hey but you have to take the L in move on with it nice video to share with us. I have seen a lot worst though when it comes to catching the ball in Madden 13 and NCAA 14. Sent From a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with Tapatalk 4

The CB's position and where the ball was thrown is what makes this play realistic... the QB put it where only his WR could get to it and the CB couldn't do anything about it...

Out of all the goofy things seen because of the infinity engine, this is not one of them.

the player doesn't dive backwards. he slides while reaching backwards to to make the catch.

It's funny how you call it BS, yet these animations were mo-capped. That means an actual person had to do it.

Second, imagine yourself sitting in a chair, and you lean your body backwards. Naturally, your legs will go in the other direction. That is the same thing that happened in the video. If you run full speed, and suddenly jerk your body backwards, your legs will most-likely come from under you.

But let me guess, you probably think you have to plant both your feet to dive forward too, don't you?

Had something similar just happen to me, but I user'd him instead. If I hadn't user'd him, he wouldn't have tried to catch it. Was amazing to see. Quite realistic considering I attempted the catch at the very last second. Sorry for the quality.

His feet kept moving forward so he didn't actually "dive" ... although he slowed down in an unrealistic way. What can you do though, it's a video game and animations are going to look odd sometimes to sync up the proper results.

I'm not seeing the dive? he stops and REACHES behind him. That is a reach and I have seen those catches in real life. I had one of those in my game the other day and I thought it was pretty cool. It's better than him ignoring the ball right beside his head behind him. That would piss me off.
