It's the easiest way to close the gap and get two men on their typical targets. I've played a ton of DC, and now Salary Cap MUT, and there is a way to beat everything people try to spam. I will sometimes find myself down 14-0, but will hang in and often turn the tables. And really, I try to create a scenario where I can use the RAC catch on a bomb. It's much more deadly.

^^^True, Finding ways to beat he best offensive attacks is how football is supposed to be played; these people complaining about how AG catching is over powered wory me, cause EA may nerf something that doesn't need the nerf.

When somoene complains about something being over-powered, I think they should be required to state the players they are using, the plays they are using and any adjustments they are making; otherwise, for all I know, people getting beat by AG catching may have poor football knowledge, poor gaming skills, may have not gotten the right players on defense, in this case, or a number of other issues; maybe they are blitzing too much and leaving players in 1 on 1 situations?

Also, in Rookie and Pro level games, things should be easier - In all-pro and all-madden, I can can't make those AG catches to an over powered level, to any degree...

I just hope, and I assume also, that EA is not going to get too heavy with the nerf hammer...(fingers crossed)

Yeah, I agree. I can't make a full opinion on online H2H, unfortunately as I don't play that mode. And, I tweak my own sliders on all-pro, so it's hard for me to give an unbiased opinion. But, for me, as long as I can remember before/after tweaking sliders, I could NOT complete EVERY AG catch attempted over the top. And, there have been plenty of times that I thought I should get a completion only to get a batted ball or an INT. So, for me, I LOVE the catching mechanics, and think they work fine. As a defender, I almost always use the A button to play the WR and I am able to knock the ball out, frequently. As an FYI, I play exclusively with the Falcons, and I EXPECT Julio to catch EVERYTHING!!! Lol. But, he doesn't. And, if that beast doesn't catch every AG catch attempted, then I don't think there is a problem with it. Lol

Well seems like speed backs are back this guy would be a 95 speed and 76 strength . Well just hope this isn't very common, getting a guy like this should be every other draft or ever 3 drafts (like a Jamal Charles he don't come every year . will see maybe the tier trait system will be more important then speed! Making combine freaks nice but not elite.

Yes, it is disappointing, I would love a more qualitative scouting system like on the NFL scout cards (good hand catcher, slow off release etc) than a guaranteed quantitative system like M16 (where their catch is B+, it will be high 80s and the scout is never wrong). Plus, they reaaaaaalllly need to make sure storylines match the attributes and combine stats being reported... If a person has the highest 40yard dash... make sure he has the highest speed! Or a QB who blew up the senior bowl gets an accuracy boost etc.
