WR's dropping wide open passes on All-Madden difficulty?!?!

[lanemp8]

I can deal with it when they catch a ball and get hit and drop it. 8/10 deep passes that I throw hit the receiver in the hands and he just drops it. And there's not anyone within 4 yards of him. It's really irritating. All Madden is supposed to be harder, but it seems the difficulty is generated by subpar blocking and easy receptions being dropped for no reason. It was like that last year also. Sliders don't help. So other suggestions would be appreciated.

I've experienced that too.
What I find weird is they seem to drop lobs a lot more than they drop bullet passes. Perfect lobs are dropped 7 out of 10 times.

I have this crazy idea instead of starting another thread about this, why dont you jack your WR catch up to 100 and catch every pass that you throw....

I agree totally with this post.

It is frustrating when I have good receivers, who have high catch ratings, who are among the league leaders in drops by the end of the season.

So many times I've had drives come to crashing halts, or had potential points taken off the board, all because a highly rated WR dropped a wide open reception.

And the blocking... I watch highly rated run blockers like Mike Iupati, in his 2nd year as an A potential rated player (becomes 88 overall with run blocking ratings in the 90's) get tossed aside like he's Wes Welker blocking a semi-truck EVERY single time I run the ball up the middle.

I have an idea, how about you play on something other than all pro or rookie and you'll see what I'm talking about. I've jacked it all the way up and it still doesn't help.

Every time someone gets on this site and voices a real concern, somebody like you always come in with smart arsed remarks. And I'm sure you won't be the last.

That's the way it's always been

All Madden = regardless of the players skill rating, they will drop passes, get tackled on the first hit, and miss wide open players on passes, fumble, and miss tackles all the time.

Hated this about All-Madden. Thats why I changed it to 14 (from 15) for the difficulty. Besides the fact they make every RB into Jim Brown vs. me
