Defenders unresponsive to balls in air

I wish you were wrong but you are not

Hopefully with Sim mode it's not a "Must be a switcher" mode.
We'll see soon enough I guess.

I just hope they haven't removed the current Coach Mode

I feel like sliders would help this issue. Good sliders completely change how the AI for user and CPU play the game. Maybe check out t hat forum.

I have the same issue, specifically with safeties breaking on crossing/middle-of-the-field routes. They will not respond to the ball, no matter how close they are, if they are not covering the exact receiver the quarterback is targeting. As previously mentioned even to the point where they're being hit in the numbers without reaction.

I always figured that it was due to the lack of ball physics, and the game deciding at the throw: complete/incomplete/etc., and the defenders reacting as such. Sure, you can mitigate the problem by attempting to switch on and manually make a play, but it still speaks to a larger problem in Madden. That is that the ball physics, or lack thereof, are terrible, and defenders are completely helpless without user input, regardless of stats.

Easy fix....turn on 'Ball Hawk'....it has a direct impact on how responsive CPU-controlled defenders are to the balls in the air.

(And if you already have it on, it is likely a slider issue)

Apparently on Simulation mode its all about player ratings, so maybe no switch is still alive in that mode hopefully.
