over the shoulder catches.

I really hope they fix the overdone OTS catch in the patch. They have my running back catching a screen pass over his shoulder and even wr on drag routes. Please Fix.

Re: over the shoulder catches.

I've read a lot of complaints about this, but I really haven't seen a whole lot of it

Re: over the shoulder catches.

yea my reciever would do it on a flag route which u wouldnt use it for and it causes lots of pics. When all he has to do is reach infront of his face and catch it

Re: over the shoulder catches.

I've never seen it before on a screen. Mostly because I rifle it at the RB every time. Not how it's done in real life, not how it's supposed to be done in the game, but damned if it doesn't work every time.

I have noticed it on most of my Streak routes, which sucks because it allows the CB to catch up to him, and as i've noticed in this game any time there's a defender within 2 or 3 yards of a player the guy drops the pass.

Re: over the shoulder catches.

The OTS catch isnt as bad as some people make it out to be. I at least see it happen IRL in every game so I would expect to see it in the game. I will admit that it is off but it is not that bad.

I think the "trip up" animation that the defense does to stop a player who is going around the corner is horribly overdone(where the defense scoops the foot of the player to trip him up). I see it at least 5+ times a game in madden. This past Sunday I didnt see it happen once IRL.

Is the situations just as much as the frequency. It seems the game is lacking catch animations for this one to be used to frequency. It stunts the forward progress of your player and the animation is way to long to be effective in situations close to the goal / first down.

I understand what you mean. There are some routes that I personally refuse to even try in the redzone because I know they simply dont work. The OTS may be the culprit.

Re: over the shoulder catches.

this is a really big problem.....but i tink that it has kinda been toned a lil bit after the first patch....

but there is no doubting the fact that more catch animations are desperately needed in the game
