It's not because of AI. And turning down the AI will make every other route even easier than it already is. It's about Y. They got rid of eyes behind the back of the head, spidey senses, and backwards rocket catches only to give the players the easy button that subsitutes all of that. You can see behind the DB, so he doesn't have to. It's like he has spidey senses anyway and now AI intelligence/skill doesn't matter either, so it's even worse. Every DB covering that route is the shit.

i wish there was a hold Y type button but just for jump balls, not one that tracked. there used to be literally no defense for offensive jump balls

Should be no problem.

In my last two games (Blue and CB) I totaled around 100 yards combined. In my previous 12 I was averaging over 150 yards per game. I'd be up at real NFL totals.
Also I think our problem is that there are too many turnovers, with that in mind it's far easier to score with less yardage
Yup. Game sucks. I should be able to crush teams that try to stay in two man and bump/press Marshall at the line. Easy completion fade pass right over the DBs head before the safety can get there. There are multiple problems though:
1) Marshall gets jammed at the line way too often with 99 release.
2) When he gets off the line the DB sticks to him, making an over the shoulder pass nearly impossible. The DB is going to make an over the shoulder non look INT.
3) If I get lucky enough that the DB doesn't make that stupid, ridiculous, non look int jump catch, the safety will hone in on a perfect angle towards marshall by holding down Y. So either Marshall gets hit, ball dropped, or the safety picks off the ball.
Would be sweet if the WR was able to be controllable to try and combat the power of Y

I'd like to hope EA will revamp the attribute system, as well as ballhawk, for next years madden... unfortunately, we'll probably see a fixed system in four years. I mean I want full on descriptions of what each attribute does, including swag, and actually have physical, noticeable differences on the field.
Yeah, have we even tried to see what this does? I could see it being the answer we need.

There still isn't on comeback lofts. Y will deactivate for those or your CB will run around in circles like an idiot.
Won't help over-the-shoulder.

FMT believes it will ruin the game.
As it is now the offensive player literally has to sit and watch the opponent take control of the DB and position himself for an easy pick. Or hope that the MCV and CTH ratings of the DB decide to take a break and result in a catch (for the WR) or dropped pick. It won't happen i'm just giving FMT shit about it.
The few times like that where I actually need Y because I suck and that's what happens to me everytime!
I wish I could get the kind of ground game success you do.
Next time I play Soka in a random madden game, I'm going to start controlling my receivers. I've actually never controlled my receiver since entering this league some years back.
I'll show you how busted it is if you have time tonight!
Really? Time to spam this with Marshall.
I can't play during the day but I might have some free time later tonight Rors!
Let me know, broham.

Starting MLB Brandon Zuzek - 73 TAK, 13, TFL, 3 INT, 3 DEFL, 2 FF, 2 TD
Starting Nickelback Maka Lisi - 20 TAK, 2 TFL, 7 INT, 2 DELF, 1 TD
OLB Edward Matthews - 5 TAK, 1 FF (on IR)
My standout rookies. In addition to the best LB it looks like I got the best DB in the draft with my 2nd rounder when compared to blue's stats!

The entirety of my last off-season was focused on getting my OL fixed so that I can run the ball. I've also said it many times, the key is good OG play. If they can seal edges on Powers you're golden.

Overall I did pretty well. I had to rebuild my OL and WRs so I could compete on offense. I was near the bottom last year on O, had to rely on a shitty D and Kellen Winslow to get anything done.
Nikolas Vogler and Jordan Lonas on the OL with my first and second round picks
Xavier Waters, Andrew Apo, and Maurice Leopard as first, seventh, and undrafted rookies respectively.
DJ Greenwood in the third.
Various defensive filler pieces from 4-6. A DT, an LB and a DE.
Vogler was a stud until he got hurt. Bradford has only been sacked 16 times, and of course he is a vital component for my running game. Hell since he got hurt I haven't be able to do anything.
Greenwood is battling Leopard for ROTY. 120 carries, 1126 yards, 15 TDs.
Leopard has 81 rec, 1640 yards, and 20 TDs.

Now?
Yeah gimme 10 minutes to let the dog out
That's livin brother!
Heading on
My rookies:
1. WR Corion Stephens 57 Catches 819 yards 7 TDs
2. DT Antione Thompson 6 tackles 1 TFL (3rd stringer right now)
3. FS Dwayne Scott 20 tackles 1 INT 2 defl (2nd stringer, only plays against 4+ WR)
4. CB Joshua Landrum 2 tackles 1 INT (#5 corner on my depth chart at the moment)
5. WR Kenny Timm 63 Catches 1360 yards 7 TDs possible pro bowler
6. RT Matthew Graham 1 pancake 2 sacks allowed 510 downs played
7. ROLB Banks Richardson 5 tackles 1 TFL (mostly plays on special teams)
UDFA WR Darian Alberry 1 catch 8 yards 12 punt returns 11.5 yards per return
I also grabbed some guy who was cut by someone else named Sterlin Smith. He's a MLB with some decent ratings and low awareness. He has 2 tackles for me as my #3 MLB.
I think I'm gonna move one of my RGs to LG this off season since one of my LGs is a free agent and the other is kind of meh. I have been super scouting offensive linemen, especially guards. Not liking too many in this draft, so hopefully I do get the ones I am interested in.

and you'll have an extra 2nd rounder!
i've done a bit of scouting but i dont see the advantage of doing it early in the season since your points accumulate AND you could scout a guy early in the season and then he changes positions late anyways! i have like 40K+ scouting points so as soon as my season ends i'll get to it.
i'm mostly set on defense obviously but i could use quite a bit of help on offense at WR. manningham wouldn't take my offer so he is gone. behind crabtree and newson i don't have much to speak of at WR. also wouldn't mind drafting a center if there is a decent one available in the 1st or 3rd
You dont get to pimp the guys you got. They are asterisked like ramirez' Superbowl win.
