I was gonna hop on and explain what the Ball Hawk mechanic is, since I see some questions. Basically, it's kind of like the Defensive Assist button (A/X), but for making a play on a ball in the air. When the ball is in the air, you click onto the defender - hold Y/Triangle - and it will take you to the highest point (aggressive point) and attempt to make a pick. This does NOT replace the old use of timing your picks by tapping Y, just as defensive assist didn't replace making tackles for yourself. You can still control your player and move him to a spot exactly as you could before. This just helps the people who struggle to get their defensive players in the right spot before attempting a pick. You can still swat the ball with LB/L1. Hope this helps clarify things a bit.

Will there be a risk reward involved in this mechanic? Someone with low rating could totally whiff???

Really hope this isn't a do it all easy button. Intercepting passes is easy enough as is...

Sounds like sour grapes lol

No, a player still has to be within distance to actually make a play on the ball. His ratings still come into play, etc. If the guy is clear across the field he's not going to be able to get all the way over and make a play unrealistically. Like I said, it's just there to help guys who have a hard time getting into position to make a play or time picks.
