Is The New Aggressive Catch Overpowered? (Possible Tweak Coming In Tuning Update?)

I play mainly against the cpu on all pro with fatigue at 60 and the speed threshold at zero. I think they need to tweak it so that one handed catches are less successful. The aggressive catch would be less of an issue if zones and safeties actually played decently. If you could generate a pass rush with four or five non user controlled linemen. Right now you only need to run two pass plays in Madden this year with four verticals and the mesh play.

It's seriously bad enough online that they should consider resetting leader boards..... just lost a game to a Texans user that would bomb it every third and long after I sacked him every down.....

Then Hopkins would get simultaneous possession against Carr everytime. Lost the game due to that crap. He literally went 5/5 doing that - I was helpless. At least ramp up the pass rush please.

as a cowboys fan you should know all too well that a WR dominating a DB all game is a very reasonable way to win a game. as an Eagles fan, i know it all too well.

I understand that Bradley Fletcher does happen, but it's the fact that my guys don't want to win the LOS on 3rd down or even 4th!

I love how people say.."Oh just play 2 man under..You suck at the game for not adjusting.."..


Yeah bro. I'm supposed to play 2 man under and watch every slant, drag, and corner route burn me by ten flipping yards. Oh, and the fact that rushing 4 NEVER gets there. So what do you want me to do? If I bring heat because the pass rush has been nuked, you'll say I shouldn't do that and it's my fault for getting beat one on one. If I sit in 2 man under, I'm just gonna get hit with a corner route until my brain explodes.

So tell me what I'm supposed to do? I'm curious.

I knew it. Once guys got time with the 'Y/ Triangle button,' it would be abused.

Its so bad that I would advise against going online.
That's unless you want to face streaks and aggressive catching all game.

Then on the other hand, it's a good thing that guys are abusing it, so EA has the data to tune it.

Its definitely OP vs users online, especially in DC mode. I knew it was only a matter of time before the cheesers perfected it.

I think you guys need to watch these video highlights from each week and stop overreacting. There are great catches all the time. Don't make EA break something that is actually working. Is it perfect? No. It's a video game. It's supposed to be fun.

PS. There are two one hand catches just in these five highlights from week 10.

so week 10 in real life had a whopping 2 one handed catches

I typically see at least 1-2 in every game I play of madden 16

not sure what point you're trying to make - what you posted supports the idea that there is too many one handed catches, not that there is a normal amount

I don't disagree there are too many one handed catches.

What I do disagree with is that Aggresive catch as a whole is overpowered. I'm playing a CFM with the Bengals and I complete maybe one or two aggressive catches a game to AJ Green. Those are rarely one handed. The others are knocked down or dropped. I don't want that number dropping to 0 a game. We finally have receivers that attack the ball in the air. Something the community has begged for years for. Then we ask them to take it away practically because people abuse it. It's frustrating.

A tuner will be coming out soon to address the issue.

After the tuner comes out, the debate can kick in again on how well the tuner is or isn't.

JUst wish EA would tune the defense and not the offense..Rex even mentioned there was a bit too much separation when using the RAC catch...

At least with a tuner adjustment, if it gets bad reviews, it can be adjusted more a week later...

Short crossing patterns are still rather easy, but to adjust zones to be closer to the line of scrimmage is probably a huge task, but I wonder if expanding the area that the defender identifies a player in their zone could be a relatively easy adjustment?

last year focus was on D and we had 8-10 sacks per game. This year focus is on receivers and we have 8-10 spectacular catches per game. It's EA guys, swallow it.

Not seeing this at all. I'm not even seeing half that. 8-10 "spectacular" catches a game? Really? Is this online or offline?

Re: Is The New Aggressive Catch Overpowered? (Possible Tweak Coming In Tuning Update?

quite the difference in a few one handed catches in a week of football vs a few one handed catches in a madden game.

Im pretty sure ive seen one person do ODB catch, in madden, i've seen many including rod streater, ya, that aint happening.

In the end, EA provided an improvement, too bad the improvement was in warping.
