LMAO!! That whole vid is just bad PR for Madden lol. On top of what you guys saw @3:10, the TE looks to be stopped short of the first down marker, but he slides forward to get the first lol. Yeah there's an animation that looks like he's spinning off the tackle, but he's sliding too. It looks totally unrealistic. **sigh**

Yeah but User control itself is not the issue, it's how it executes, imo. I don't want them to take User control away from those that want to manually attempt catches, I just don't want User control to override realism. So on that play, even when User controlled, that player should have had a harder time securing that catch because he was not ready/expecting the pass.

A simple CTH ratings hit for User controlled players not "looking" for the ball would be sufficient, for now..

Exactly. Let people user catch if they want but (just as an example) if they take control of WR before they are looking have the catch rating drop 40-50 points to offset it. Something...
I am really excited about the new system but if user catching totally negates it then that's a new advancement in Madden that, except for leagues with no user catching or single player, is pointless.

I also want to see animations that realistically represent trying to catch passes the receiver is not expecting like bobbles and tipped passes, not just instant drops. Hopefully those are already a part of the 430 new catch animations.

But he didn't even user catch it the computer did it by itself.

Looking at it again I actually think you are right. I guess it was more like an anticipatory throw, that the QB passed before the player was looking but the ball arrived just as he reached the point in his route to look back, lol.

Anyway, the point still stands that there should have been a CTH ratings hit and/or a different catch animation like a bobbled or tipped pass, to represent the ball being "on him" before he was ready.

Yeah it wasn't a user catch in the video. That's why I said I hope it was a lower level (Rookie or Veteran) that caused it.
The discusssion just went the way of the user catch....
