Pass Interference

[MaximumEffort]

Is it me or is it that it just doesn't work well.When I throw slants or in routes and the ball is in the air the DB bumps me and throws me and the ball off the route and no flag is thrown. It's VERY fustrating mostly on timing routes

Re: Pass Interference

I have yet to see it called since I bought the game.

Re: Pass Interference

With both PI sliders set to 100, I've only once had it called in many seasons over

Re: Pass Interference

It is hard as it is to read all your progression with the quick pressure by the defense. It's just fustrating on timing routes. I have had the game since it came out and I have only seen it three times.

Funny you should mention this......I was playing a different football game earlier (company shall go unmentioned (not EA)....LOL) and had an interference call on the 2nd play of the game. It got me thinking about how rare that is nowadays.

I literally have not seen a pass interference penalty called in either of EA's football titles in several years (this gen for sure). And that is with the penalty sliders maxed out for each game along the way. Have also tried said sliders out @ varying levels (low, medium, high) to rule out any type of placebo effect.

It's very frustrating that certain types of penalties very rarely or never occur

Re: Pass Interference

I highly doubt it, but I've always wondered if there was a magic number to get it to be called more often. Like if we had a lot of guys play 10 games with a set slider for that penalty.

Example: Guy A plays 10 games with the slider at 52, Guy B at 67, etc. Do it until all numbers have been used and see the results.

Re: Pass Interference

I have yet to see PI called in this game and the sliders for each are maxed. I believe I only saw one called in last years game as well =-/

Re: Pass Interference

I wonder if this is because the level I am playing on.I use All-American. I am trying so hard to love this game, but the fundamental issues are really bothering me.

Re: Pass Interference

It's very frustrating. Not only are the DB's jumping routes, but they are being able to slow down our receivers and not get called for PI. I watched it twice today with no flag called (AI v AI)

Re: Pass Interference

I know this is what makes the game so unrealistic.

Re: Pass Interference

I actually saw a PI, today. I was playing RTG as a QB. I had Def PI at 60. It was on a slant play. It was actually a horrible pass on my side. I forced the ball as soon as my WR made the cut. I think it was more of the CB being in the way of my WR on the slant route when I passed it. He just stopped and bumped the WR when I passed the ball.
I was shocked because I saw similar results on other plays and never got a call

Re: Pass Interference

I had DPI called once..... for hitting the RB behind the line of scrimmage on a Slip Screen. Which cannot be called for defensive pass interference in any rule book in any level of football. Oh EA.

Re: Pass Interference

I've seen it called roughly 3-4 times on the defense and twice on the offense.

Those numbers seem to be on the high end for most around here. It's a shame really. Also very annoying when the PI is BLATANT and a call isn't made.

Definitely needs to be more pass interference calls made.

Re: Pass Interference

Only time I ever see it is while plying against my friend and one of us tries to obliterate the receiver too quickly. Other than that I generally see the CPU do as it pleases to my receivers. Not that I pass a lot. I usually just come out with a pass play and switch to a run and gash the poorly cheating defense.

Re: Pass Interference

I've seen PI called occasionally on the CPU team...but it certainly isn't often enough.


I'm really hoping NCAA'13's special feature is a complete overhaul of the interaction between WRs and DBs, which should hopefully fix the PI issue (as well as the passing game).
