I must say I just don't understand the mentality over here, where it is always "if you don't like the game then don't post." Wouldn't it make more sense for those who really love a game to actually be playing the game than trying to rip anyone who complains? And you can say "practice more" all you want, but no amount of practice in the world is going to help the biggest problem with 2005 - the dropped short passes. What exactly would you practice? I can complete plenty of long bombs into triple coverage but can't buy a dump to a wide-open All-American receiver in the flat. That is just wrong.
It's eerie how much this mirrors the MVP debate. Probably half the people on OS claimed there was no lefty but and told the rest of us to shut the @#$% up. Fortunately a few people persisted and maybe it had something to do with EA releasing the PC patch that fixed the problem. Hopefully, if we raise real concerns about gameplay shortcomings EA could at least examine whether they could be addressed through an XBox Live patch.
funny, I couldn't complete a pass to a reciever out of the backfield either, but I practiced it against the defense in Practice mode, and learned I was throwing the ball too hard, as well as leading the reciever right on those. The ones that get dropped are where the RB gets it thrown over the wrong shoulder, and ends up twisting awkwardly to catch. I'm really not an EA Apologist, I was just ready to break this game in two a couple days ago, but since I worked on timing, touch, and leading the reciever I've gotten infinitely better. Maybe I'm just a freak case where practice actually makes perfect. This game has me thinking completely differently than any past game, I have to think football, take what's given to me, rather than go into a play saying "X is getting this pass" and wait until X is open to throw the ball.
