So many interceptions

[camo]

I am having a super hard time with the passing game this year. I've been playing ncaa 13 and it's got a similar passing system (took a while to get used to leading with the left stick instead of the right). All my passes take along time to throw and have no velocity. if i do try a throw on the run it bounces off the turf 5 yards away. or if i try and lead a reciever down field it'll die 3/4 of the way there and drop into the dbs hands. I've played thru 15 games and it's not getting any better i've tried playing with the sliders and online/offline careers. Can anyone give me some pointers or something...I'm not a noob, been playing madden since 08 but this year I just can't get it.

I've seen screens of them and others have said they are

I agree with MrToo. Defenders drop so many wide-open picks, I don't know how anyone can complain that there's too many interceptions.

Strangely though, I haven't had the issues people have said here, although that may be because I don't run many streak routes. But this year above all others, I feel like a good 80-90% of my interceptions are honestly my fault. Thats in contrast to NCAA 12 last year, where I felt like most of the time, they were the result of unrealistic defense.

I've thrown 22 through 15 games with Cutler and I would have to say that 19 were my bad reads. The others were deep balls that the WR doesn't make a play on, the WR does his over the shoulder animation while the DB plays the ball.

I honesly like it this year. Throwing the ball in tight or double coverage will get picked off. I've seen some drop this year, but if you throw a bad pass to a good corner or to a safety over the top of your WR on a streak it will get pick. I think streaks get picked off by the safety way too often though.

[Greencollarbaseball]

Yeah, I think the Safety makes up gound on streaks way to fast.

I agree that streaks have a tendency to get picked, but I'd rather deep passing be too hard than too easy. Online players....

It's hard not to throw the ball in tight coverage when the field is so small. It's like every defensive player can cover two areas. The defensive end can cover the flat, out route, and deep comebacks with a simple drop back.

When you try and lead your receiver, you're just sending him into another spot where a defensive guy is covering three areas.

Should have been fixed light years ago.
