sideline catches.............get it right EA

[celg35]

come on now.......its been 5 years on the next gen systems and Ea has not got the sideline catches right. how hard can the coding be? it is one of the major aspects pf all football, and they can't get it right. An idea i thought of was to do the coding according to the field. for instance creat an imaginary line a certain distance from the the out of bounds line all around the field. when a player enters that area during a catch, it should trigger an animation. you should be able to hit the X or Y button to better assist you as well.

it should be the same coding when a player crosses over the goal line and it triggers the refs hands to go up and players to celebrate. those animations are driven by calculated areas on the field( the endzones). this should apply for sidlelines during catches as well.

i swore they had a blog that showed us the "improved" sideline catches . They even had a video comparing it to last yrs. Maybe something in the patch will trigger it because i have seen a few instances where it was in there.

Seems so simple to do.... Perhaps it can be tied into the receivers awareness rating (aware of position on the field)

hopefully this is included in the patch whenever that is...i have yet to see a sideline catch.

yea.. things like this frustrate me, cause they keep madden from reaching it's full potential.

I know it exists. I saw it happen once. Once as in literally one time.

I guess it's like last years "FaceMask" issue, where there were mulitiple animations in game to see but only 1 triggered.
