I 100% don't mind if that change is made. Too many times you lob one up deep and the defender turns into the WR even though both are there. The goal of a DB in that situation the LARGE majority of the time is to just break up the pass without committing DPI.
I did read somewhere that the WR will now play the ball on knock ups, etc. hoping this is the case in obvious interception chances to avoid easy picks.

Edit:: here is the tweet I am referring to; not just posting random stuff....

Will defenders play the ball in the air or play the WRs in M18? In M17 the defenders play the WRs

Yes we fixed that a couple of weeks ago in M18. Sorry

That is my L to old. They ran around aimlessly oblivious to the existence of the ball. At least attempt to break up the INT. Not acceptable.
