That's the thing. For every catch animation they add, they must add several drop animations for them as well. It seems like if they add catch animations then they are 100% going to catch it if the ball ends up in their hands.

As it stands, I don't think I've ever seen a challenge that's based on whether or not the receiver had control of the ball while falling down. The only challenges I see is if the player was inbounds or not.

Agreed. That's another thing I'd like to see expanded upon, and they've done it somewhat this year, is the drops or ball knockouts. It's good that they've added a lot of knockout animations but I hate the way when receivers drop passes it's just like they have brick hands and the ball goes off of them and then straight to the ground. I'd like to see passes slipping through receivers hands or bouncing off them and continuing down field. Or bobble drops. It's a little thing but it would go a long way.

To piggy back on this Id like to see bobbled or double catches for guys with low ratings. Would be even better if guys drop the ball when getting hit while bobbling it.

Please tell me there are challenges for ball control to the ground. There aren't animations for this?

This was in the M15. At least I KNOW the DBs would attempt to swat.

I agree, it does add a certain feeling of accomplishment knowing your QB dropped a dime over the DBs hand to a WR in stride.

Hopefully they continue to improve the catch animations all around from year to year. Seems like they've done a nice job this year on the contested stuff but they still need to clean up and expand upon the basic catch animations as well as the sideline ones.

I agree. That catch is so ugly. I really wish when they capture new catches, they captured everything new. Some of that last gen stuff is just BAD. I don't know how they thought that stuff was acceptable. Luckily they've moved onto superior animations and capture techniques. The game would seem so fresh with all new animations. 16 definitely looks to be the one though.

I really like the hand fight between Hilton and Amukamara. Hopefully strong corners will be able to push receivers off routes and strong receivers will be able to push away corners. Also, in the background, I liked the way the linemen were trying to actually stop/get by each other rather than just warp on and off each other.
