DBs drop everything

[XXstormmXX]

I'm not sure if this is a problem with my controller or what, because I lose games sometimes because my DBs drop 4 or five picks in a game. I don't play online anymore and this is a big reason why. I keep getting matched up against deep-ball spammers but I drop every interception when I use Ball Hawk. Is anyone else having this problem?

I haven't played online in a while but yes, my guys would drop five or six INTs a game. Same thing in my CCM as well.

The thing that makes me even more upset and my #1 gripe, is the the fact that the Intercept button doesn't work 85% of the time.

I agree just played a game online I held the triangle to pick the ball off and its just clanking off my db's hands like the ball was made of rubber or something. heck even offline its the same way think u have a pick and its clank........... off the db hands .

Didn't they add stone handed DBs for "realism"

It's not realistic for a corner to drop a ball that's thrown directly to him.

You are assuming, incorrectly, that the apparent "ease" of the catch relates to whether or not the ball is caught. A DB with no WR near him with X awareness and Y catch rating vs a QB with Z throw accuracy etc will catch a ball _____number of times. In the hands, via super jump, etc isn't relevant to the mathematical equation. If a WR is close enough then his catch rating will factor in.....or it's a one handed catch (spectacular catch) then that is another variable. But to assume that Champ Bailey standing still with no one around would catch 10/10 passes that were lobbed to him is incorrect.

EA doesn't do situational football. It's straight math based on hard numbers with possibly/likely a small random variable tossed in for "realism" and "dynamic" play.

Otherwise, half the league's QB's would have 40-50+ picks per year.

Still seams super unrealistic. Especially because DBs can twist their bodies in half and make superman picks while running at full speed but can't catch a ball thrown right towards them.

The CPU controlled team doesn't drop many and pulls off some super human catches. Sometimes they intercept the ball without even turning to face the ball lol
