Really? For me it's the exact opposite I almost never user catch, but when I do I see my receiver's jumping for balls they never would had I let the cpu control.

Chase said they didn't show any game play videos for an obvious reason. That doesn't mean RTP, but they did show a kickoff a few weeks ago that had some type of physics.

I think it has to do with the angle of attack and spec catch/cit rating as to why you see different animations when user controlling and not controlling. I saw different/and the same animations both ways but just for reference outside of testing I user catch everything I can.

While I'm also unsure about this whole physics thing it's not like the devs are downplaying the announcement. On the contrary they're making it sound like it's the best thing to ever happen to sports gaming so I'm still trying to keep an open mind.

i'd rather have strategy and good decision making than some scrub user catcher that makes the dumbest decisions ever, but still throws for huge gains and touchdowns simply because they know how to exploit the game. well, i could do it, too. but it's cheap and it's instantly obvious the moment you start doing it.

When I hear physics I'm comparing EVERYTHING to backbreaker's Physics system. What we saw on that kickoff a few weeks ago was no where no backbreaker's level of Physics. sorry if I come off negative towards Madden but I'm just stating how I feel.

Well after you play it you can feel free to make that statement, until then you are stuck with my impressions. (Btw I hated user catching in Madden 12... It WAS cheap)

well i have played alot of user games and the truth is i would say 80% of the guys i have played user caught between 0 and 3 catches that tells me that most guys are not very good at it. I would bet that over half the guys that get on here and brag about all they do is user catch are not very good are it either. and no i am not referring to any certain person. however with that said from what i understand this game should be a bit easier to user catch and i hope that is the case I think it would really open the game up for more less talented players.
