exactly what does wr catching do?

[baccVols]

i had it at 20 for human and 15 for computer...i then dropped it to 0 and 0 and now qbs throw some weird looking passes......and i have a ton of picks...........then again maybe its cause im in C-Usa and now that im a 79 overall and the computer teams are mostly in the mid 60s this has something to with it .....maybe it has something to do with my QB arm strentgh but its still weird..

It affects how good their hands are. The lower the slider the more passes they will drop. However, I do think the slider affects how aggressive a WR is. With the slider very low a WR won't show any closing speed on the ball or fight for it. This may make the QB look worse than he is but this shouldn't affect how accurate your QB is.

I am pretty sure this affects a few WR attributes. Catch, route running, special catch, etc. Just like the QB Acc slider effects, accuracy, arm strength, awareness, etc.

Yesterday I was curious about this and went into practice. I set WR Catch at 100 for the HUM and threw the ball up about 30 times into 1-1 coverage.

I saw 0 difference and was disappointed. I even remember a play where neither person went for the ball and it hit my WR in the foot.

Really?

I hate how WRs have such a huge advantage in closing speed. The DB will be a half step behind the WR, you throw the pass a little out in front, and walaaah the WR will cover the distance in Usmain Bolt time.

Oh, and it's terrible that we don't get any explanation as what the sliders do in detail.

I'm not 100% sure on this. But with WR catching at default, I've seen WRs almost warp to the ball on crossing routes. When you drop the slider they seem to have alligator arms a little. Try dropping the WR catch a bunch and see if you see the same thing. Again, I'm not sure but other guys have stated this here and I think its true as well.

I've never put the setting to 100, but I've seen it at 50 and 0 and there's a noticeable difference in dropped passes.

I agree 100%.

I play around with this slider alot and i see it effects wide open catches the most rather than catches in traffic....the dropped passes mostly occur when the wr is wide open and not between defenders or even getting hit....they drop the passes they should catch and still catch the ones they should drop or not even get to, like when they adjust to bad throws or in between 3 guys...
