Couple the "sixth sense" defense with the screwy pass trajectory (no in-between balls, either low line drives or high moon shots) in addition to WRs who don't come back to the ball unless you manually control them, and you get a game that is INT-happy.
And when WR's do come back to the ball on those comeback routes, they REALLY come back. They are not awarded forward progress either. There have been times man, I've throw a comeback route and where the WR caught it it would have been an 8 to 10 yd gain. But he goes into all of these animations and it ends up being either a 1 yard gain or no gain at all. At times a loss. Especially if a defender hits him in the back as soon as he catches it and knocks him backwards. No forward progress.
