    Why are my receivers slow after the catch?

    Hey.

    So is this a new thing in madden or am I just doing it wrong?

    Whenever my receivers catch the ball, they really slow down. I haven't once caught the ball and continued running full speed ahead.

    Am I doing it wrong?

      yeah noticed it too, I think it's to tune down long passing TD's, since these don't happen so often in real life.

        Lack of momentum emphasised in the physics of the engine.

        Its the same reason we sometimes see the ball carrier 'stuck in mud' as he attempts to carry the pitch or toss.

        The game needs momentum to be integrated into the phsyics - its not enough to partially install physics with collision effects: we need all the parts.

        Catches in bounds are horrid too because the reciever dbl taps the same foot sometimes like he is momentarily brain dead and dunnno how to move his feet.

        Its a grievance to my sight whenever I witness this shotty footwork.

          If they want to tone down long passing TD's, they could, I don't know, make defense functional?

          But nah, that's too complicated. Let's just build in even more unrealistic mechanics to an already broken foundation making a big ol' wobbly Jenga stack of fail.

            It's what allows the way-out-of-position defenders a chance to make the tackle.

              I didn't notice this at all in '13 and to me this is one of my biggest grievances to 25. I get a BURNER.. to TAKE THE TOP OFF OF THE DEFENSE.. usually that WR has stone hands.. but when he does burn the D AND catch the ball, he magically slows down enough to get tackled from that same CB he just burned for 10 yards worth of separation! Are you kidding me? AWFUL! Anyone have a fix for this? Cuz I know it won't get patched lol

                Meh, I've noticed this for awhile with all ball-carriers. It's why Darren Sproles can be chased down by a Dlineman. I just call it Madden Science. A football weighs 50 pounds.

                  Any easy solution to this would be to play with the speed threshold slider until you get what you like

                    seems to me that after my guy catch's it, if I zig and zag him a bit it seems to give him a burst forward as well.

                      I rarely if ever see this on the faster speeds, but obviously this is not a solution for people that want to play on slow/very slow.

                        Yeah and then the wr gets that fatigued when tackled he gets injuried and is out for like 6 weeks

                          I have learned to jam the speed burst button after the catch....for example when i run an X spot pass play and hit the X wr..he is sitting there waiting for the catch. From a completely stopped position. So it is realistic That I hit the speed burst to get him going.

                          I can see why they removed auto sprint. And I am happy they did.

                          It's working as intended.

                            I struggle heavily with this. pass receiver wide open, makes the catch but every time I try and turn upfield, my player always takes the worst possible turn and the animation takes forever.

                            I long for the day that EA learns that the human controlled player should never be cpu controlled at any part of a play..

                              Its awful. It's impossible to hit a receiver in stride alot of times and have him carry on through the catch and the route and actually progress down the field after the catch.

                              Also when it happens to a RB in the backfield after taking a hand off, and my RB is just standing still almost like he's in quick sand only to get drilled in the backfield. Just frustrating.

                              It's happened to me playing on slow, and on normal.
