This was the first time I've attempted an onside kick in M17, thought there's a 0% chance I get it. Hogan dove for the ball and came up empty. M17 wise was a very fun game.
As for the sliders, I had to adjust Pass Blocking to 50/50. Hear me out because I think Madden mislabeled the slider again. It should be "Pass Rushing." I've tested this several times and the Rush gets better with higher slider setting. I think the O-Line's ability and awareness arn't affected, and only the Pass Rushers ability is.
I also feel like 37 catch is a little low, for users at least. First game my team had 8 drops vs CPU's 2. This game I raised to 40/40 and its 4 USER, 1 CPU. I admit 1-2 are passes into traffic, but I've seen Hopkins and Fidorowicz drop wide open passes.
