I wouldn't do that. Doesn't have to be like backbreaker to have physics. I'd actually prefer things to not be like backbreaker. I've been grazed by guys in backbreaker and have been brought down,

Not a lot things could cause Madden to completely crash and burn with almost all of their customer base, but, IMO, utilizing Backbreaker-like physics would be one of them.

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.

I'm not gonna lie... I suck at user catching. #realtalk

Speaking for strictly offline right now... In the past one of the main gripes with A.I. controlled WR's/DB's was they weren't aggressive or smart enough. Therefore, if I'm playing the CPU and an using user catch, I have a clear advantage over the CPU.

Now, head to head against another person, if both want to use user catch, then I'm all for it because each user has an equal chance. Just not offline against the CPU.

I hope that all of these new animations aren't triggered by the user. Especially if that means that the CPU WR's won't use them. Anyway, I'm going to trust you and let it go for now. But, if you let me down I'm coming for you.

Defenders were very aggressive in the builds I played. I will be here (unless I get banned). hit me up any time [email protected] I got nothing to hide (other than what I'm not permitted to talk about yet lol)

I don't user catch and prefer to play in leagues that have a no user catch rule (this is with NCAA, haven't played Madden in 3 or 4 years).

My question is, why would we need to get good at user catching if there is no advantage to it? If we as the QB are able to make throws to get our WRs open, why wouldn't the CPU be able to choose the right catch animation for that situation? (that's the impression that I'm getting by getting good at user catching).

That's always been my issue with the user catch is that it is way overpowered and gives an advantage to the HUM player over the CPU player. The statement that we had better learn how to user catch leads me to believe this is still the case... or that there is something the CPU can't/won't do that we have to make up for as the user.

EDIT: Forgot to add, but good impressions. It's good to hear about all of the improvements so far. Just a little confusions about the user catch statement

Nice impressions Casey.

Defenders go after the ball like crazy. If you sit back and expect the cpu receiver to do everything for you, then you will be missing out on a large portion of what makes this game good. The game is made to switch and take control of the defender/receiver. I can't see any reason personally why a league wouldn't allow user catching for M13 at this point. Madden 12 yes, I could understand that. To me that would be like banning touching the sticks at all other snapping the ball. Just ky opinion though.
