Gimme a break. Seriously.

The impressions of one person is not going to change the reality of how the majority is going to play this game. This has YouTube cheesefest written all over it. It's inevitable.

The only thing selective is the way some people choose to ignore reality.

Thats one of the big problems with this franchise man. Everybody can do the same things, from the garbage TE to the elite WR. Thats BS.

When you can have nobody tight ends jumpin up and bringin down one handed grabs, or just the fact that you can HAVE them go up all the time and ATTEMPT it is a joke whether they catch it or not. Anybody who wouldnt find a big problem there doesnt know football. At all.

You're absolutely right, a scrub player should not be able to go up and Moss everyone.

That being said, every NFL tight end or WR is an athlete. They all can jump. Saying they shouldn't be able to jump up and try to catch a ball is kind of silly, isn't it?

As far as actually catching it, I agree. The guys I saw making catches in this video, against crappy DBs on Pro difficulty, were Jordy Nelson and Joe Horn so we are talking about 90+ rated players, I have to assume. This is a fantasy draft mode afterall.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I didn't see a scrub player making a nice grab in this video

If we start seeing videos of every single guy going up and making insane catches like nothing, then yeah, we have a problem. But I haven't seen that yet.

Nope. The idea that every player in the game should be able to do it all the time is silly, and thats exactly what you and I both know is about to be released. In real football, every player doesnt play the same way. They have different temperaments and tendencies of things they do in given situations, and no two players will necessarily act in the same manner in the same situation. This is part of how teams gameplan against personnel.

Its also part of how scrubs, mediocres, and elites are separated on the value scale in pro football.

So you haven't seen any Madden vids in the last decade? My bad.

It's tied to jumping and spec catch rating, not every WR can just sky for the ball and grab it like that.

They said that in Madden 08 and other years, too. Yet, we have tons of videos showing not only scrub WRs and TEs making spec catches, there are vids of QUARTERBACKS making them. I saw one with Peyton Manning making spec catches.

So we're supposed to believe THIS is the year that all goes away and they get it right? Pfffft. Ill believe it when I see it, homie.

He was talking about madden 16 (and only what he saw in the posted video). I don't see how it is cheesing when clearly passes were being dropped or knocked out by the cpu ai. Did you even watch the video? The guys that were making those long pass catches were in the 90s going up against defenders in the 70s on pro no less. They didn't score a td on the lass posession because the defenders kept knocking the ball out of the receivers hands. So not cheese.
