Does anyone know if EA has fixed the QB Throw features. Maybe it was just me, but the way it is now (pressure sensitive) I find it hard to throw anything but a bullet pass or a jump ball. This seriously makes 80% of the wide receiver routes impossible to complete the way they are designed. Post routes, stop and gos, flag, etc. Its especially frustrating when you want to just drop the ball in between the linebacker and safety when your opponent is using cover 2.

I completely agree. This has been a problem in the past

Never had any problems throwing a bullet vs a lob. It's easy, firmly press for bullet, lightly tap for lob.

I don't see a problem.

I think he means throwing a pass that isn't really either, but somewhere in the middle.

i have no problem throwing in between. usually when i lob it i tap it lightly, for a lob i hold it down even after the ball is thrown, and in between i just press it down for a little longer than a lob. idk i have no problems doing it though.

I know what he is talking about. Its going to become a issue when you start playing people. Its not as much a problem against the cpu.

There are gonna be times when you need to drop a pass over the LBs and under the safteys. You will notice the LBs take a LONG time to release their under coverage when a WR runs through their zone in the demo. By the time you can make the throw without having LB's warp/leap to deflect the ball, if you lob it, the ball travels TOO slow, giving the safteys time to cover a route they should not have had time to make a play on. If you try to mildly lob it, you cant seem to. its like the ball travels too low and the under coverage LBs jump up and swat the ball or intercept.

Some of you may not be noticing this problem now because you are playing a demo against the cpu. Wait till you start playing real people who know how to play the game and they are pressing your WR's and putting heat on your QB. Making these types od throws are gonna become crucial to your survival. Especially in light of the Dlines pass blocking abilties added to the mix.

This is probly one of the most annoying things about madden. Im going with the ps2 version this year just because passing the ball is realistic and easier to do. Dont get me wrong, this is a huge step up from 09, its easy to see that, but its still kinda broken.

XBOX360 does not have pressure sensitive buttons IIRC.

So maybe thats why theres only lob and bullet.
