There is no boundary awareness in this game

I did some extensive out-route throws to Antonio Brown and he never once tried to drag/tap his toes. He just caught the ball out of bounds. I'm not sure if that's because I was doing it in practice, but it was disturbing to watch over and over again.

I'm with you. I haven't seen it either, thus rendering out routes useless. The bigger question is how does this even happen. Last year (or maybe the year before, can't remember) it was part of a blog: they congratulated themselves on how receivers are aware of the sidelines. The game was played during E3... surely SOMEONE pointed this out, yet this was not a big enough issue for EA to address.

It just blows me away.

Cpu is extremely bad at this to the point where you can say about 4-5 times a game it happens and ruins a drive, or the game for them because they don't get what they need.

Traits check your possession receivers traits. Making : sideline catches is a trait.

I've had my WR's (with the CPU controlling) do it and I have seen the CPU do it but it's not where it should be, EA needs to make it happen more often like it happens in real life.

Yeah I thought it was maybe just my WR's with this issue because of traits, it happens a lot in the back of the endzone for me. I would make a good throw and my WR would just run out of bounds without getting either foot in bounds.

Didnt they say in the gameplay blog that sideline catches were better this year?

Brother I'm questioning your experience with this game. In another thread, you couldn't even run the ball on Rookie. Here you're saying you get nothing. I'm seriously questioning how you're playing the game.

CPU Mike Evans ran out of bounds in the back of the end zone on a deep in pattern. He was so out of bounds my CB stopped covering him. Then he ran for 7-10 yards out of bounds, came back in and caught the TD pass.

I was shocked, I thought they fixed this a long time ago.
