NFL 2K5 is pissing me off- please help

[vaibhavp3]

i just my new nfl 2k5 and the game is amazing but one thing that gets me mad.

i have randy moss on my team and he is 100 rating and he averages 3-4 drops per game and it so hard to pass in this game Carson Palmer completes like 30% he is 82 overall so is that okay for a 82 overall to complete that many pass, and i a good player.

i play pro setting and i set the wr catch at 100 and still every receiver in my team drops at least 2 drops per game.

can you please help me with this

Switching back to nfl 2k5 after playing madden, I found the passing really hard as well..but the more you play it you should be able to open it up.

You can beat most teams deep....so try more straight deep routes or deep crossing patterns, deep ball works in this game

thank dude but still how do i fix the amount of drops i get in a game and randy moss should only drop at least once in a game.

Start by playing on Rookie or Pro, then get used to the game play configuration. It is a lot more different and faster than the sluggish Madden. In my opinion, realistic.

Thats one of the bigger issues with the game. You will learn how to play to minimize it and it has to do with the timing of the route sometimes. As for the cpu, roster makers have done pretty well with make some of them play really well.

Try raising the WR hold on to ball and stamina.

You can't play this game like Madden....you have to have the timing down on the route and also don't assume every catch will be caught!

Just go for it on 4th and 2 on your own 25 yard line, after doing that Moss will catch more balls. lol, sorry I had to, I cant stand the Pat's coach.

I used a max of 115 for pas accuracy this year in my roster set. The Wr's do drop balls but I did have a completion percentage of %73 with Manning wk 1 vs the Jag's. And my settings are as tough as they can get when added to the -30% formula we use. Try short out routes and stop routes.

Re: NFL 2K5 is pissing me off- please help

I've got my CPU coverage and pursuit down pretty low with maximum human catching -- human passing is still around the 50% mark so the timing of passes still needs to be pretty good on the player's end.

I've had pretty good success with my settings in terms of minimal dropped passes while still having realistic, ratings-based games.

Giving every decent-great WR good catch, hold on to ball, and stamina settings does seem to help, too.

I agree with the consensus that you really have to read the coverage and pick a receiver who is beating his coverage on his route, otherwise you're setting yourself up for a dropped pass, tipped pass, or interception. It's definitely frustrating, especially if you rely on passing or are playing with a predominantly passing team.

Kind of amazing that we can have this conversation about a six-year-old game, though. 2K5 never ceases to amaze me.

2K glitch, there are about 3/4 different animations that make the WR misjudge the ball or completely miss the ball.

The best thing to do is to use the massive passing and use directional passing to keep the defender from hitting the WR.
