I completely agree. This is what separates Madden from an enjoyable football sim for me. The passing game is totally flawed in this game due to Defense AI. I'm running a Online Franchise (no slider adjustments online) and EVERYONE is averaging 3-7 interceptions a game. This is ridiculous. There are a ton of good suggestions all of which I'm sure will not come out in such a short dev cycle for a new Madden dev team. Here are possible some quick fixes?
-LB, S and CB jump ratings mean nothing. That needs to be fixed ASAP.
-Eye placement on ball should be fixed (i.e. a CB should not make Willie Mays catches repeatedly in a game).
-More animations on offense and defense (in my opinion this would help with the CB and WR interactions and create less glitching by defenders in making ridiculous interceptions)
-Ball trajectory and game speed (just improving the ball trajectory wouldn't work because player speed on the field is faster than real life. This would only create more interceptions, so ball trajectory and game speed would have to be addressed at the same time). I highly doubt Madden will ever fix game speed though, seeing as I've been feeling that Madden has been supporting the fast twitch type player more than the football simulators.
-Everything else mentioned in this forum would be great, but I'm holding my breath.
