What's the deal with Swatting/intercepting!?

The thing I noticed with User picks is you can not hit the Strafe button like in years past. If you hit it the defender wont do anything. If i do not hit it. He will catch is sometime or atleast make the motion to catch it.

I have no issue getting the animation to go after the ball. As written above, simply HOLD triangle (Y) down when the ball is in the air.

Simultaneously, strafe or sprint into position and he will go for it. (Ball hawk)

My issue is : the user pick is dropped 75-80% of the time. I liked NCAA 2012 where you had to get into position and time your triangle (y) press and user picks were like 90% successful.

The defense is hard enough as it is... when somebody makes a mistake and throws the ball into your user d's hands... it really should be 90% picked off.
