Pitching ball glitch

[bacardilvr]

I thought it was just me. But it's happened a few times, and at least once in a critical game situation. Not good.

I think I've only heard of this issue on the PS3.

As for your incomplete pitches, it's not bad officiating, it's an incomplete pass. Some option pitches travel forward which makes it a pass and not a run. That's why on some options the pitch guy will get a reception instead of a carry. In every replay I've watched of those plays the ball did in fact travel forward.

Are you no longer having this issue with a wired controller?

I noticed that it's almost impossible to run pitch plays with any success on the PS3. Frustrating especially when you read the coverage and it's in your favor.

I too didn't think I was pressing the button but because I don't believe it was doing it for no reason I just assumed i had accidentally touched the button to trigger this...

I've never run into this on my 360. The issue I run into is that hitting the catch button produces no result. I.E. I move into position for a pick and hit "y", only for my player to do nothing. It doesn't work probably 50-60% of the time, minimum.

Seems each console has its issue.

This is because of ball hawk. If you use ball back (hold y) it works very (too) well.

I think the issue is because ball hawk uses the same button as catch. When you're pushing Y you're not "catching" but instead "beginning ball hawk." Then when you let go of Y, you're ending ball hawk prematurely.

EDIT: Also the game has a great feature (IMO) that if your guy isn't looking back for the ball, he can't catch it (how could he?).

I should have clarified. The instances I was referencing were clearly pitches to a RB who was behind me.
