so only the intended receiver can catch the ball, when using Target Passing.

how is that an exploit? Shouldn't anyone able to get their hands on the ball be able to catch it?

Really, they "fix" this but not the wind punt?

That's one of the dumbest things they could have implemented.  "We can't actually fix the game so we're just going to render other receivers incompetent since they aren't targeted"

Again, undermining the smaller issues that makes a difference in immersion like the broken stats within Franchise with player careers and game logs.

Weird way to fix it, but honestly the fact that we're still getting updates in March is awesome.

This is a ridiculous “fix.” I guess it is a good thing I almost never us target passing...

Does anyone actually use target passing?

Must not be a ridiculous "fix" for those that use it.

Some of the competitive crowd uses it and they were happy on Twitter yesterday.

Was going to say that completely kills off any attempt at a tip drill. If the ball is tipped by one receiver, a receiver close by can't even catch it off the other receivers hands? That goes against sim and what we see on Sundays.

If the competitive crowd is happy about it then I guess it all that matters. So much for the three settings. They just fixed something for one group of people and ruined it for the others.

I do in one of my Franchises. What I do is play All Pro in it and then exclusively use target passing to get myself a challenge. That way the game plays to the player ratings but I'm not winning 55-3 every game.

I try it every once in awhile, and i've actually had a situation where an unintended receiver caught the ball. I really have no idea what went through their heads to think that was a problem.

Excuse me for wanting something that can be an exploit fixed? Sorry bro. Hard enough playing not like a dick online vs that cheese among the numerous others. How much do you play this game by the way?

I guess I don't understand how this particular issue was exploited. Is there some cheese with certain routes that involves throwing to the X reciever and causing it to be a guaranteed catch for the B reciever or something?

I mean, this is something that goes to the very root of football... once the ball is in the air it's pretty much a free-for-all... everybody but the OL can legally get in on that action. Making it impossible for the five other legally eligible offensive players to catch a tipped / inaccurately thrown pass just isn't football.
