Please EA DO NOT change INTs !!!

I see more INT's than batted passes in 13'.

I like how the defense plays in this Madden. The defenders make real breaks on the ball though my only concern, as someone touched upon, is that at times their able to break through the receiver for an interception when in fact they should have to stretch, resulting in a batted ball.

On the whole though, it definitely doesn't reduce my enthusiasm for it any. It just makes me think more about passing and that is only a good thing.

No, interceptions like this happen way too often. This is a 1 in a 100 catch

Well, like I said, I think they should be batted balls most of the time.

The problem is that I am seeing probably two crazy circus INTs like that per game... And using ballhawk, I pull off plenty myself.. I am really not crying sour grapes because of throwing interceptions.

I want to see spectacular plays in the game... but in order to be spectacular they can't happen all the time... as that isn't spectacular anymore... it's just ordinary.

I am fine with the way the vast majority of INTs play out... it's much improved over previous releases. I just think they need some minor tweaks / tuning in a couple of areas. That's all.

my only problem so far with the INTs is how common they are in one-on-one situations. The animations don't look all that unrealistic, but the receiver needs to put up more of a fight, at least the bigger ones.

I agree, receivers still dont go for the ball like they are suspose to even with all the new catch animations. The new catch animations only work in certain situations, usually the reciever has to be right in line with the ball, they need to add the IE to catching in this game.

I think int should be toned down, especially in one on one deep ball situations, in those situation taller and better recievers should have the advantage. Most the times wr either catches the ball or the db breaks it up, on this game db's have good chance for the int.

Part of the problem is the wr dont attack the ball or position body to fend off a db, they go up for catch as if there is noone covering.

I wish they'd just give WRs a "Plays Ball in Air" trait. They are the intended target for the pass and should be aggressive for the ball just like defenders can be. They shouldn't just let the defender under cut him if he's aware of what the defender is doing (would make WR AWR more important, too).

Might get more offensive interference that way, too. After all, a WR pushing off is just too aggressive to beat his man and "cheats". So, an "Aggressive" trait and lower AWR could lead to more push offs and such.

However, I do like hearing that defense has teeth and they are doing it without "cheating" the game mechanics. That is very encouraging to hear.
