Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
Does anyone else find it nearly impossible to beat man coverage when throwing a deep route. A perfect example is when I had AJ Green beating Xavier Rhodes by about 5 yards, the ball was placed right in front of AJ Green in stride, but Xavier Rhodes went beast mode and not only made up those 5 yards, but he ran in front of AJ Green to make the interception.

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
It is all about timing I have figured out. I threw 2 picks early, but when I started throwing as soon as the icon lit up I was making more passes. I think it is a mix of realistic and glitch as I see what they want to do, but in your case, as I have seem, it is impossible for some of these plays to be made. -
Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
Try user catching and use the coachstick to see which match up gives you the best chance to complete the deep ball. I complete a couple a game even with Jake Lockers 64 DAC rating...Comment

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
Yeah, definitely try usering the catches. I have still completely some without (mainly passes where he's clearly beat a press coverage, or splitting the safeties in a cover 2), but i've made some catches on terribly thrown balls by usering the WR infront of the DB and jumping. I feel like you can jump higher this way too.Comment

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
You either need a burner or jump ball guy. I've hit one or two go's with Justin Hunter on just lob passes over the top. I actually get more success with guys like Hakeem Nicks who really just leap and snatch it right out of the air.Comment

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
I have the opposite problem. Pretty much all my TDs for or against me online have been 70 yard touchdowns. Of course I have DeSean Jackson on my team and a poor secondary.“No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.”

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
^ this right here is the truth. Gotta step into your throw when going deep, I've played a game against the packer and I hit Calvin Johnson in stride for two deep balls. Never had to switch over or user catch them.New Dynasty Project (Coming Soon!)

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
Like everyone is saying it's much more realistic this year. I need get the defense out of the cover-2 and have time to step into the throw while WR has a step on the DB. I lob pass and use TCP to direct the pass away from the safety.
If all of that doesn't happen I'm more likely to throw a pick then complete the pass. It frustrated me at first because in previous Madden's I could complete several bombs a game and now I may get 1-2 if I'm patient.Spike DietComment

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
Its damn near impossible. Right now I am in week 8 season one with the cowboys and dez Bryant usually wins 10% of any jump hall thrown his way.... if that even. I have given up on streak routes because 7 of my 9 ints to this point were one on one where it looked like dez had it beat, but that cb gets there every time. Better off throwing 5 to 15 yrd routes across the middle. Use the left stick and aim your throw and let the CPU catch it.Comment

Go to Help/Settings then Settings then Game Options....scroll all the way down to Player Min Speed Threshold and adjust the setting there to your liking. Suddenly your faster players are actually faster players....opened up the deep game where you can get past a defender but the game keeps it under control so you can't go deep a zillion times a game. I thought that was a nice touch.Comment

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
What is your speed threshold at? Cause I put mine at 0 and it's still not working. Lineman are catching up to running backs and receiversGo to Help/Settings then Settings then Game Options....scroll all the way down to Player Min Speed Threshold and adjust the setting there to your liking.

Re: Impossible to complete fly/ streak routes
This. I have my min speed threshold at 0, on normal speed, playing All-Pro. At 25 and 35 it made no difference. With a player like Tavon Austin, I am seeing separation, whereas before there was little to none. User catching helps too, but 0 threshold helped for me, at least for the players with speed that can burn a DB. I'm also using Armor & Sword's sliders with some of my own tweaks, so you may have to take that into affect as well.Go to Help/Settings then Settings then Game Options....scroll all the way down to Player Min Speed Threshold and adjust the setting there to your liking.
