If you want to user catch, you can try hitting down and toward the middle of the field instead of the sideline. That is the only way I can seem to get my WR to position himself in front of the DB, I get hit in mid air and drop the ball a lot, but I feel a lot safer using that method because I feel like either I catch it, or it's dropped for an incomplete pass. I'm not willing to let the cpu catch it for me because I don't feel like they do enough to prevent an INT
