Anyone having issues with drops?

I'm having major issues with it. It's the leading reason why, in 6 hours of EA Access, I've gone from a definite buy to being ok with skipping this year. It's happening so many times a game and at the worst times. It's not even like my timing is bad.

I throw the ball to a wide open receiver perfectly out of his break. The ball hits him in the chest or head while he stretches out like the ball is over thrown. I don't get why. It's like the game is trying to force incomplete passes.

Basically this, having a great WR can totally change your passing game and needs to be your #1 priority. Seems you can't just nickel and dime teams this year with a scrub receiving cast like past games. And I guess that's fitting, considering who the cover star is.

Issues with drops, issues with throwing quickly out to the flats and receivers not reacting to thrown balls. Issues galore.

I agree, I love the fact that it's a massive difference now from even a 80 to a 70 OVR wide receiver. We are FINALLY starting to see a real difference in players, teams, etc in how the game plays and people are going to have to get used to that. The days of the game playing mostly the same from team to team, player to player, aside from a uniform and name are over.

People have been asking for these changes for a long time...Careful what you wish for....

No doubt the game has some issues but not all are actual issues but rather how people play and/or what they are expecting to see from the game.

These drops are actual issues. I excused the 1st few times. But this is unacceptable. I feel like I'm one of the more lenient guys here when it comes to problems in these games. I could see if I was getting a proper drop animation. But I'm hitting guys in the head or chest and they decided to reach out like the pass is over thrown (That's if they decided to react at all).

I'm sure it'll be patched eventually.

I agree. My go to plays from M18 are not nearly as successful in this version. Whether it’s plays, WR routes, or ball placement. This version plays tighter. My thinking at present is that QB lead passing and throw type (lob, bullet, etc) matter a lot more in this version. The days of just throwing a bullet pass on every play are over. I like the challenge of changing the way I play.

I think it is a major issue. I play Coach mode...I have seen a ton of drops and DB swatting out of hands of receivers. It has kept the QB completion % in the low 50's for the games I have coached. It just does not look realistic..in fact, some of the drops probably should be ruled fumbles...but they are not.

Not sure what is causing this or if sliders have any impact. DPI above 50 helping this happen? I am not sure. All I know is it is an issue for me...
