Madden 20-10: Resurrection of the 'User Catch'

[oChaos_Nine]

The idea is good but I'd like to see it kept simple. You start talking about gathering and I start thinking about how complicated dunk contests can be on NBA2k and Live. IMO regardless of how many animations they implement, if they don't fix the jumping of the DB's and the arch of the passes then it won't work regardless.

you're right, the jumping by the defenders is overkill, and the lack of appropriate arch makes it difficult to drop the ball in certain spots.

I loved ncaa 09's catching mechanic. I agree that it had that current gen feel.

It really had the feel of 'going up and getting the ball'

Madden's system doesn't seem natural and unresponsive.

+1 for installing a system similar to ncaa for catching.

truth

I really feel as if im at the mercy of the defense in this game when i go for a 'user'. The offenses passive animations ( for the most part) vs the Defenses super animations dont make for much of an even match. The warping doesn't help either.

Thanks for the feedback to those who gave it. Lets keep the ball rolling, maybe this thread can make some noise.

I really believe that it's not NCAA's catching mechanic but the throwing mechanic. I haven't played NCAA in a few weeks so correct me if I'm wrong but super DB's and LB's weren't present right? And also bullet passes were more than 7 ft off the ground on long routes correct?

You fix these 2 and I believe you fix the catching. You have to remember that they removed the ability to strafe catch on All-Pro and All-Madden because too many people were exploiting it but you can still strafe catch in NCAA which might make you feel as though you have more control because you can turn around and jump for the ball.

I like the idea in theory but i'm not too sure if it would work out that well.

I'm a huge user catch guy but this year it really only gives you an advantage on the "warping" catch. You cannot jump for the ball but in a few vary rare situations, I just wish if I threw a ball high or if the game made it so the pass accidentally went high we could have the ability to go up and get it.

Really? Why do you doubt it working out? Its simply a matter of either tapping the button or holding the button, similar to the possession/aggressive catch mechanic supposedly in place.

Well, atleast we all agree SOMETHING has to be done about it in 2010.
