Re: Pretty Good Catch Video
Yes, definitely should have mentioned the Terrible DB play as well, good call on that.
I get you. I was not sure if you had watched the video or not. But being a Lions fan, I have seen Calvin play a bit and they really do like to just throw it up high and he jumps up and gets it. I think he has like a 42" verticle along with being 6'5, and really great hands, so, I would say that it should translate to Madden in that respect. However, having had a plethora of QB's who have trouble getting the ball to him and a weak at best o-line make hard for the Lions to do this consistently.
And, I do see what you are saying, but really, if he had a QB that could stay upright long enough to get him a high ball like that, he would come down with it at least 90% of the time, especially in single coverage.
One thing I will say though from playing with the lions is that Johnson does drop a lot of easy ones and a lot of ones he would catch, so, I think it makes up for it overall.
Honestly, it is not the top notch receivers like the Johnson's, Fitz, Moss, etc that I have a problem with doing this, it is the guys like Bernard Berrian or Braylon "Stone Hands" Edwards who can come up with spectacular catch after spectacular catch when, in real life they struggle to make even routine catches.
And therein lies the truth about Madden for me, unfortunately. Even after all of the talk about how this and that was going to get fixed, there are still so many lingering problems and even regressions in gameplay in some areas that it makes it hard for me to really enjoy it for more than a game or 2 at a time.
Really, what the Madden team should do is fly up to EA Canada and talk with the NHL team. I honestly think it would help them iron out a lot of the issues that Madden has, since, that has been EA's best sports game for the past 2 years (the reigning 2x champ for sports games right now.) and is going to probably make it 3 in a row from what I have seen.
And to the OP, sorry about Hijacking your thread like this, but, this is one of the things that really frustrates me about this game and your video, while it is a sweet catch by your boy Andre, only serves to emphasize this.
