Unless it was just there for placebo, maybe Rex can clear it up on Twitter

Yeah, I think people are sort of confusing swat and 'play the WR', and maybe even Rex took this question as meaning, 'since the swat button was in madden 16 with the RB button, will u ALSO be bringing it BACK with madden 17?'. Lol. I think there is just some slight miscommunication going on here. I didn't use swat much, as I enjoyed the new 'play the ball' A button or 'go for INT' Y button idea. But, to the guy that was complaining about 'no swat' button, I think his beef must be that on deep balls, u prob canNOT simply use RB to swat, u must use A button to 'play WR'. U could use the RB swat more for LBs undercutting a route than for CBs deep in coverage, imo.

Oh, well, there u go. Lol. This was posted at same time I was typing my previous reply. Well, maybe EVERYONE will be happy with swat and play the WR options in madden 17.

It is confusing because it says that X is swat as well as RB so it makes you wonder if one might have been different than the other. I'm interested in seeing what the "new swat" is though.

I just hope the wr and cb can stop being "tied" together once the ball is thrown.That is just horrible to me . i hate it .Let me have control , im not trying to just watch the cpu play a game.

This is why Madden 16 was unplayable for me. Just felt unnatural and scripted.

Like every other madden? Lol. Except for 13, for me, all maddens have felt scripted. But, yeah, it's tough. Overall, I was happy with WR/DB interactions, and we had 'some' control over what took place (going for INT or playing WR/swat attempt), and for me, then the ratings dictated the outcome which feels scripted. But, yeah, I understand wanting total control of the outcome and controlling when in the route u time the swat as opposed to seeing your DB in perfect position and watching him time the jump poorly or something and give up the catch. Again, for me, I can chalk this up to ratings at that point in the play, so I'm ok with it, but if they upgrade swat to better represent the timing of DB and it works appropriately, I'm all for it.
