Meaning you can't swat a deep aggresive catch this year..I stopped playing for this sole reason it makes the game absolutely worthless to play.

Alright, enough. This is totally off topic and close to agenda posting. You won't stop going on about it. Only reason I'm not banning you right now is because you are new and I'm not in the mood to deal with it today.

Move on. This is your final warning.

Has a solution to slow down people from relying on aggressive catch arrived?

It's already available in the current game. Play the man, not the ball. Also, use more DBs and don't use your safeties to blitz or in man coverage.

Also, it helps if you have CBs that match-up well with the main culprits. If you are rolling out weaker CBs, they will get exploited. But then, a safety coming over to hep negates this.

Oh, and the guys that drop back and roll out, waiting for breakdowns in the coverage, only to launch bombs and AG? Run QB contain on every play until they get sick of being sacked. This works best with four man fronts.

Can you get into the look/fluidity of the menus at all?

Are the menus smoother?

Do things still reset after you sort, go forward, then go back?

Look of the overall layout/menus of things like CFM. Are they basically the same?

Well, playing the man is defined as putting yourself in position to break up the pass or, failing that, make the tackle. Playing the ball in defined as jumping to route and going for an INT.

But no, in Madden 16, despite many, many swatted balls, you do not see the cartoonish swatting animations over and over. What you get are the more realistic physically breaking up the play.

So yeah, it's different. But no, AG is not overpowered. You just have to adjust, and the mode allows you to do just that.

Playing the ball on an aggressive catch will result in the receiver catching the ball 99% of the time...you just can't simply swat the ball instead of getting sucked into an animation..it's as if the game was made for a kid to play.

The only thing you can do this year is play the man hope for the computer to break up the pass...

Re: I've played ~40 hours of Madden 17: AMAlmost Anything

Anyways i'm done here...this game was designed for a kid to play..you cannot even swat the ball on a deep ball this year lol....Hopefully EA fixes this simple problem or takes out the aggresive catch completely if they are too stupid to add the swatting.




I'm out

Yes you can I do it, at least on salary cap. I don't hit A or Y, I hit X and try to time it, but it doesn't work every time. When the game first came out before all these patches, it definitely played better.

And easy fix would be only give a handful of WR spec catches and the rest can't spec catch and or almost never ! And same with aggressive catch ! Hopfully the tier thing separates the WR with animation like the running backs

With the addition of the gap assignments, did you notice the linebackers attacking the line of scrimmage right away vs. run plays when you were in zone coverage?

The way that it's always been, they would only attack the LOS when the defensive call was a blitz, or man coverage. When the call was zone the linebackers would wait until the ball got to a certain point to press the hole.
