Anyone having issues with drops?

I'm seeing lots of complains about running but my biggest issue is catching. Has something changed this year in the basic mechanics of throwing and catching the ball? I'm playing as the Giants and can't stomach the ball hitting Saquon Barkley in the back or Evan Engram in the head much more.

I throw bullet passes a lot...is that the issue? Again Ive not had this problem in earlier games.

Biggest frustration is that it happens in training drills too so I'm constantly having to repeat drills because a receiver has let the ball hit him in the face instead of trying to catch it.

I've not had too much trouble but I use touch passes whenever possible, I would advise you try more touch passes

Re: Anyone having issues with drops?

I echo what ODogg said; I usually throw frozen ropes and have met limited success. I've started throwing more touch passes and it has helped. It may be just me, but timing seems more important this year than in years pass (which I think is a good thing).

Re: Anyone having issues with drops?

have you tried making catches conservative so that they do possession catches?

This is what I ended up having to do in drills where I just needed to complete the pass. It isn't feasible where I'm dumping off to Barkley in the flat or on a screen though

I haven’t had any problems with drops, if anything I still see a lot of the defenders ripping the ball out of the hand.

I’ve had a few drops but mostly from WRs with lower catch ratings. I like it because those guys should drop a pass here and there. The animations are better - you can see them bobble it.

I agree, this game has gotten worlds better with catching animations, drops, etc...just in a few years
