I'm mostly referring to these madden 12 videos im seeing where defenders are constantly dropping interceptions (hate that madden does that btw, but whatever). If it has to happen as often as it does, maybe there should be animations where the defender almost catches it but doesn't quite hold onto it? Just a thought.

Dropped pass animations
Does anybody think that madden should have animations for dropped passes rather than making it look like players are being hit with a paper ball?

Re: Dropped pass animations
What, you don't like how the WR looks like he has stone hands? Yeah, it'd be nice to see some deflections off the hands. Then again, I'm also tired of watching the football get juggled by 5 different people as it floats through the air with the greatest of ease. -
Re: Dropped pass animations
Also, there are way to many dropped interceptions among defenders. The average of dropped interceptions last season was 0.39 per game.

Re: Dropped pass animations
Me and you both. I just saw that in a chief chargers game clip. It looks very bad IMO and I think that animations could allow it to flow with the rest of the gameplay.Dear Madden,

Way too many. But, after all these years, I think madden is content with this method. There trying to avoid a game full of interceptions and this seems to be the tactic.Dear Madden,

Re: Dropped pass animations
I made a thread just like this. Where the receiver will drop a pass but a completed pass animation will play with an invisible ball.Because I live in van down by the river...Comment

1st play - In madden, this would be an interception by Revis. But, since T.O. played the ball, it wasn't an interception. This is how you keep interceptions down in madden. Making a defender, no matter what the catch rating is, drop everything he touches, is not the correct solution.Last edited by goodygoody; 06-10-2011, 05:41 PM.Dear Madden,

If real NFL QB's threw to defenders as much as we do in Madden, then yes we would see a ton of interceptions on NFL Sunday.
This whole notion that defenders cant catch is BS. We should pay for being irresponsible with the ball, and in time we would be much more responsible with the ball.
Just dont make it where the defenders are super jumping to pick the ball, but if we throw it right at them. They should hold on to it a high percentage of the time.Simply *Magic* Just click the link and Watch :)

Re: Dropped pass animations
I agree 100% on both of your statements. Especially the one about dropped interceptions.

With that being said, CPU QB's should shy away from throwing to defenders who are likely to get in the way of the pass. There's no need for madden to come up with their own interpretation of what happens in the NFL, just do what you see!Dear Madden,

Re: Dropped pass animations
Great points, and I agree. I just wish they'd get some more intuitive WR AI so that, at the least, my smarter WRs are going to battle. If my #1 WR is in straight-up man to man, I would hope I can toss it up for the guy and, if nothing else, he's going to make sure it isn't picked (basically what Fitzpatrick was doing with T.O. in that video). T.O. was smart enough to at least avoid the pick. Not saying that's how I personally want to play, but ya know.Comment
