Remember when the dev team said no more supermen on D?

And I believed them! LOL

If I throw a lob to a receiver, and a linebacker or even cb is trailing me, they should NEVER be able to stop and jump up to intercept or even deflect the ball. Ever. That's not how a throw works. If they are behind the receiver the only option they have is to run into me and hope it jars the ball loose

Watch at the 1 minute mark, the Megatron catch vs the Chiefs.

See how that defender has no chance at stopping the pass? But in M13 and all the Madden video games, the CB would turn magically jump up and either bat it down or intercept it.

And at the 1:25 mark also against KC. The CB struggles to get near the ball, where in M13 he would certainly intercept it

The best example is at 2:20

He has him beat and there's no possible way the defender could get to the ball first

of course I do. Tell me when I lead a receiver down field, it's even possible for the trajectory of the ball to be low enough for someone trailing me by a yard or 2 to be able to intercept it?

Depends on the QB. I see QBs try to lead guys all the time and either underthrow their man or lob it up too much and give time for the defender to make a play on it. It happens in football.

Not talking about mistakes. I'm talking about seeing the ball get lobbed, leading the receiver with the "usually because I throw up the middle to an open TE" linebacker following a few yards behind magically jump up and deflect or intercept the ball. That's impossible. yes a throwing mistake I can understand, I underthrow all the time when under pressure and hit. But I mean a perfect lob.

Yeah, otherwise man coverage with no help would result in a TD 100% of the time. It's a hard throw to make and a hard catch to make in stride like that.

Then just make accuracy lower for long passes, and receivers don't always catch them, so make drops higher.

And duh, man coverage with no help DOES result in a lot of TD's in real life.

That's why you take such a risk blitzing someone instead of having help over the top in real life.

it is really annoying to say a db that was clearly beaten intepcept a pass. in real life, if a wr have two or three step on a db the end result is always a pass interference or completion.
