I was just wondering how everyone felt about those linebackers jumping up from seemingly no where to deflect a pass meant to go significantly further down-field?

i think its annoying as hell it seems i have a Te seeming up the middle and the opposing MLB knocks it away.

I don't have a problem when the linebacker is back in a zone and does it, but when its a blitzing linebacker I get a little frustrated. When a linebacker is in a zone watching the QB most the time and sees the pass come his way, jumping up and deflecting is nothing out of this world. But blitzing or running with their back to the QB is a little too much sometimes.

I don't mind it for the most part though. Its better than superman linebackers. At least these linebackers are jumping 4+ feet. The highest I have seen a linebacker get up is around 2 feet which is nothing for a college athlete. I can jump 25 inches right now on my hurt ankle, but I am not because it would make me cry.

Don't throw a bullet. You don't have to throw a lob either. You can hold it in between and it will be a "touch" type pass. Either that or I am just imagining things. I swear its like that though. I can definitely see the difference in when I tap, Slightly Hold, and Hold the button. One is a big lob, the other is an in between ball, and the other is a straight bullet.

I havent noticed a problem. I have gotten much better at the passing game over the last few games though, I used to throw a lot of picks. But I have been paying more attention and I dont notice hardly any LBs jumping up and deflecting passes.

I'd like to see the passing game refined a bit. It seems like you just can't put that "touch" on a ball - you either float one up there or throw a straight bullet. That's not how it is in real life. Real players can throw one up so it goes over a linebacker but doesn't float in the air for 10 seconds.

The game needs more pass variety, without a doubt.
