    WR run after catch

    Quick question. 90% of the time when my receiver catches the ball and I take control he stops running and then has to accelerate back up to speed. I can't seem to get them to catch it in stride and continue running, upfield. I understand if its a bad pass and he has to adjust but man, when he's going full speed and has a 3 or 4 yard lead on a defender I should be able to get some YAC. Anyone else having this problem? If so, how can I combat this? Thanks

    I know they slow down but I've never had them stop unless they actually had to stop to catch the ball. Maybe try just not taking control of the receiver if he's wide open like that.

      I guess it would be considered slowing down but its enough to get tackled when otherwise I wouldn't. Once he catches it I get switched to him automatically so there's not really a way to avoid being switched. Nice to hear that someone else has seen this as well. Thanks

            Play on Normal. Its still slightly there but the animation is better.

            Basically it needs to be patched but Normal makes it better.

              Try taking control before he catches the ball, it's what I do and I don't see that issue much at all. I play on normal by the way.

                FIX#1: So long as you do not actually press any buttons, move any sticks etc, when he catches the ball, the AI should continue to control the receiver. Then you can take over at any point by simply activating something on the controller.

                FIX#2: Switch to Normal

                FIX#3: If/when you take control of the WR, be sure that R2 (or corresponding button XBOX) be the first thing you press to give the burst of speed/accelerate.

                As soon as I know my receiver caught the ball, I'm already on that Accelerator and it works to keep me from being caught usually. You only have to hold it for 2 seconds to assure he's at full speed.

                This last point is same for catching punts/kicks if you want to just take off.

                  I tried #1 and use to play on Normal and it did the same thing. Haven't tried #3 so I'll give it a shot. Thanks

                    I hear ya. CJ Spiller shouldn't be caught from behind by a D-lineman, and yet it happens to me all the time.

                      I've seen this happen as well but not very often but I've also seen where I hit my wr in stride and no lost of speed what so ever.

                      I play on slow and I useally wait till after the wr catches it to control him.

                        I agree. 9.5/10 EVERY catch is a stop/pause catch pause then run....

                        Seriously.... I honestly am convinced(have been for years) that the developers know jack **** about football.... I mean it shows....

                          I play on normal and see it happen all the time. Doesn't matter if I control the WR after catch or not. I've noticed all players run a lot slower with the ball.

                              It actually depends on your Qb. Qbs with accuracy in the 90s have the ability to hit wrs in stride without them slowing down. One of my favorite Qbs to use is Kellen Moore from the Lions by way of Boise State. He has a 92 SAC which is awesome for dink and donking down the field.
