So the new aggressive catch is the old rocket catch lol.

I haven't had much problem with this. Send someone deep against single coverage, chuck it up, jump ball. Advantage, offense. There's also precision passing to get the ball ahead of the receiver.

Except the user WR does not attack the ball. The DB does.
One of the biggest issues with M15.

What about swat pass functionality? Can we play ball aggressively for a swat animation. Should have the choice as the defender to play ball for pick or swat and play receiver for "knockout/strip" or hit

They go hand in hand. To me those types are the hardest to beat, and the people who let the A.I. do all the heavy lifting seem to have the most complaints. Meanwhile what they're complaining about is more than achievable with a little user effort.

You don't have to USER catch to stretch the field vertically on 15. I had plenty of success throwing the deep ball with the USER accuracy at 6 and hardly ever changed to the WR for a USER catch(even though I'm good at it). There was a thread where people were debating about this and I had to break out the video proof. The people who struggled with the deep ball didn't time the pass right and held on to the ball too long before they threw it. The problem with the deep pass was that the WR would never fight for the pass while it was in the air when the coverage was good.

Yeah this was the problem but being able to throw the ball over the top of the coverage wasn't when your WR had a step especially against single coverage.

Hold 'Y' button, problem solved, been effective since M25.

That is for two reasons: one they want to promote it so they make videos in which it is highlighted. Two the user videos are all being played on Pro where it is incredibly easy to make those catches. Those who have played it on higher difficulties (and there are several here) have said it play a lot differently than what we are seeing in those videos and there is no cheese.
