Pyschic DB in M13 (Video Proof)

[Big FN Deal]

Wanted to post these because I know the old adage "video or it didn't happen", both are from the same online game. I was playing in a Virgin Gaming/EA Arena free tournament. I wonder if anyone else is noticing this too.

ball hawk feature responsible? I'm not sure myself, but I know if you take a DB not looking and hold the "interception" button, this stuff happens and is contributing to the excessive int's right now.

Yeah the ball hawk feature is horrible. Seriously, what a crap idea.

I get they didn't want the offense to be too powerful... but still.

It possible the User switched at the last minute I guess but that still doesn't acconut for the DB making his cut before or at the same as my receiver, in both videos. I thought the defender had to wait for the receiver to move and then react to it. Not to mention the obvious DPI.

thats how all my int's are happening i hope they fix this with so called patch.

The defensive player was in position, turned his head and caught the ball. Probably due to the ball hawk feature but, still, those are two passes that shouldn't have been thrown and aren't really displays of "psychic" DBs.

I rarely ever post a video and maybe the angle is bad or something, so you can't see that the defender is impeding the receiver. However, you honestly can't see the defender running the route before the receiver?

I haven't noticed it yet. In fact, in my only game so far, there were a couple of passes that I know I wouldn't have completed in past Maddens. But now, it seems pretty fair.

That play you posted might have been a glitch where the defender didn't turn his head. And the defender did not run the route before the receiver did. The receiver made his cut and then the defender reacted. Based on only one play, I'm gonna chalk this up to a visual glitch.
