Does "Swat ball" work for anyone?

[OriolesFanRD]

I've been murdering the L1 and R1 button to attempt swatting at the ball, but my player will just stand there and look stupid. Is this happening for anyone else? I can't even use it for D-linemen so I can attempt to disrupt the QB. Pick-off attempts work fine with triangle, but I don't want to try that all the time. Any ideas or help? Thanks fellas!

I dont even use it at all man, and its ashame they swapped it out for the "ballhawking" gimmick!

Yeah, I don't get it. It randomly works when it wants to. I just tried with a LB, but I was close to the line and he attempted to swat ONLY when the ball was already in the air. But when I was in the middle of the field just to see if he'd swat or jump swat he stood there looking stupid.

this is probably the worst part about the game for me. L1 and even triangle wont work. whenever i press them like i would on the older maddens, nothing happens. so frustrating. I thought it was supposed to be easier to play the ball but im lucky to get a swat or pick ATTEMPT to work 1 out of 5-10 times.

I'm just glad to know I'm not trippin'. I'll post in the official patch thread to see if EA can fix this. That's how I lost to my cousin the other day. Knew what play he was doing and hit R1 to swat and I was betrayed by Ray Lewis, lol.

They changed it this year.... you need to hold the button to make them work. triangle works just fine. I don't use swat, but supposedly it is very aggressive this year so it will interfere if your not positioned correctly.

Not properly. It triggers late sometimes, but it certainly hasn't been reliable for me personally.

Add it to the list.

Add me to the list that can't get the swat or INT buttons to work half the time. When i try to pick it off, the ball sails over my guy and he doesn't react at all, therefore it's an easily completion.
