I understand that people abuse the Rocket Catch, but this is really starting to bug me about people wanting to remove it from the game.
Ask these people if they got "Rocket Catch'ed" Another more old school term may be "Moss'ed"

Sometimes there is nothing the defender can do.
That said good post and I like you feel that all these "little" additions will make the biggest impact on the game. I feel that EA needs to make sure that 1.) it can't be abused 2.) Can be stopped if you commit enough people/call the right defense 3.) Only the best players can do it the majority of the time. 4) Make it more difficult than holding Y/Triangle
WR's will win the 1v1 battles the majority of the time, especially against bad defenders. It is part of a game that it is geared more towards offenses.
I personally felt that Spec Catch was a great way to distinguish Larry Fitzgerald from Mushin Muhammad, since Jump seems to have no real affect on gameplay, and slow WR's like Fitz dangerous. When Devin Hester is a better WR than Fitzgerald in the game something is wrong.
