WR not attacking the ball on deep 50/50 balls

Re: WR not attacking the ball on deep 50/50 balls

My issue beyond the receivers not attacking the ball is when you click on the receiver to attempt to user catch the majority of the time the cpu doesn't relinquish control. Your player just gingerly jogs beyond the defender. None of your input registers. Or it rarely registers.

I know they're worried about comp cheesers rocket catching but if I'm playing sim vs the cpu at least let me try to catch the ball.

"Rocket" catching hasn't been a part of the game for years.

Yeah dude I'm aware. Just pointing out how some things are taken out because certain users abused it.

Anyway, I can admit when I'm wrong and it seems if you do not attempt to user but just use the aggressive catch button (again without switching) the receiver will go for the ball. No need to really even make slider adjustments IMO.

For the non-user catch crowd (me included), have you checked to see if “Aggessive” catch is set to “Yes” for each WR in side of the editor?

I've done that and I started to USER catch with some success, but I agree with Deuce. I think there is a bug somewhere because sometimes even when I try to USER catch the receiver doesn't jump or even make an attempt. They just continue to run the route. I've tried high pointing the ball and even RAC, but there are still times when they won't make an effort.

Turning off the offensive pass interference penalty helps. Not something you see in the game anyway so you aren’t missing much by doing so.

You have to control the WR and attack the ball. Just how the game is.

Isn't that only in competitive mode?
In simulation I thought the player's rating took over...

And this was not addressed in the patch. Inexplicably

I’ve seen it a little but not a big enough difference

If this is true it explains a lot.
I suck in CFM, all I do is throw interceptions... however in exhibition or MUT I have no issues at all and can play the game just fine.

If players actually played to their ratings in simulation, then every DB and LB in the league would not be running stride for stride with my 99 speed 99 acceleration WR on almost every play.

The players do not play to their ratings in simulation. Not enough anyways.

So you are saying you don’t want them to play to their ratings?

Turn down speed threshold? And yes I'm sure having a 99 speed wr be able to burn the whole defense multiple times per game is good for balancing. You shouldn't expect anymore than 1 or 2 fly routes to work, that's in Madden and real football. There's a reason they don't just sign a bunch of track guys and Chuck it downfield to them all game.

No, I want my 99 speed 99 acceleration WR to blow past much slower DBs/LBs like they should.

What I am saying is the CPU defense does not play to its players ratings. If it did it, then every teams defense wouldn’t feel like I’m playing the Seahawks defense when they won the Super Bowl a couple of years ago.
