Problem is the when you are able to throw it (high difficulty), the receiver's don't run their routes, they simply adjust to the ball as soon as it's thrown. It's why it looks so funky when the receiver makes the catch. Still can't use it in the game because coverage doesn't mean anything, and ball arc isn't correct (unable to properly throw over LBs).
Route based passing where the receiver continues to run their route, and looks for the ball at a spot simply doesn't exist in Madden.
