I’m Already tired of throwing picks cause my WR won’t attack the ball.

[Housh123]

Labbing zones and crossing routes and I’m seeing a huge problem. WRs act stupid while ball is in the air. I’m getting picked off a lot on crossing routes that are wide open, the WR just isn’t using his body to shield defenders from the ball AND I’m still seeing speed boosts defensively where guys speed up at the end of routes even tho to even keep up with my WR they had to have already been going full speed.


Then Iv seen already too many situations where the animation awarded did all the work. There have been potential catches where my guy won’t even put his hands up for a pass flying right by his nose and it’ll get picked off by a deep defender.





A lot to iron out before i take this bad boy online with MUT. Seeing alot of stuff i just don’t like. The added breakup animations are a welcome sight. The defenders are tending to stick with crossing routes more often too which is great. Usually I’m getting tackled right where i catch the ball, which is more realistic.

Dude I’ve thrown 20 INTs with Fields in 9 games. It’s rough. I know I’m not great by any means but I’m throwing way more picks this year

Its a challenge for sure but one that is welcomed. I dont see the WR's not attacking the ball but I am struggling getting pass mechanics down I had to take a step back to get used to it first. But all in all I think its a welcome addition.

I’m not really having that issue, I’m having the opposite where my DBs won’t attack the ball or contest the cpu wrs

It’s weird.. I swear CPU WRs and DBs attack the ball while the USER WRs and DBs won’t attack the ball.

I had this same feeling in the beta. It's like comp mode but labeled sim for the user to have to do everything but random animations make it even more difficult. U don't know what your going to get at any given moment.

a common problem with madden is the insane amount of Picks I can never throw the ball deep because of it and I end up playing the Brady way of slant here dink and dunk there and then I don't throw picks. it is frustrating. it kills the realistic stats every time for me I average 4 picks a game if I try and play it the NFL way. and if you put the difficulty on rookie you end yup winning 60-0 with no picks as the CPU drops every single INT possible it is so hard to get a damm balance

Just user catch it

Having the same issue in franchise. Multiple games at AM and AP. 3-4 straight picks at a time. Frustrating. Usually either a dropped pass right to a defender or my player does nothing besides letting a CB or LB snag the ball. Right now, IMO, franchise is unplayable and it’s a shame because everything else is great and the game looks fantastic.

So you think I’m throwing and not trying to user it?

Human receivers are not aggressive and don’t fight for the ball unless you user catch. While the cpu defenders attack the ball and can often jump pretty high in the air and swat the ball away when trailing the receiver by a few steps (which though can happen in real life it usually doesn’t).

I just started aggressive catching everything and my interceptions went down a bunch from preseason. Ive only throw 3 in 5 games playing on all-madden with INT slider at 15. No other changes to sliders.

This. It’s been like this for so long. Idk why it’s not talked about more often.

What's funny is that the game plays pretty great for a Madden game outside of a few things that almost ruin the fun experience. Coverage being tight and pass rush being strong are great. Proper pass trajectory and fluid ball placement are finally back, yet is ruined by bringing back superhuman leaping defenders and auto picks. I saw one of the game notes from the beta said that users wanted more range and higher chance at picking passes off, so naturally EA makes it where every pass that touches a defenders hands gets picked. And of course, the slider doesn't work at all. On 0 and anywhere between up to 100 the interceptions stay the same, essentially guaranteed.

I would almost have to disagree with you on this. Please do not take offense but M21 with a mid to high 80s rated wr, they would automatically go up or extend for the catch. As would the DB. Yes these maybe considered canned animations but at least you had a receiver that wanted to win and come down with the ball. Some times it looks like in M23 that it's to much data to process correctly and their for the out comes is something un natural.
