There are a ton more drops due to contact so far this year. Maybe more than I saw in all of Madden 12. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2

I like the part the DB's will fight for it BUT if my WR's don't do the same unless I user catch then it means nothing to me
We'll see how it pans out I guess. I just am a non user catch player.

Have they done anything new with the Gameplanning feature, or does it remain unchanged? Not sure if it can be discussed as of yet....

If that's the case (and I'm just going through fast while at work) then the system isn't right (for me lol ). No reason I should be forced to user catch to get the same experience BUT I understand the enjoyment of those that like it...
For me as long as the plays, play out like they should - user catch or not- I'm fine.

I was very competitive in the User v User games we had in the tournament too... i kept the game close most of the time and won a few.

I mention something about this in my video coming up tonight on TSS. I feel like the playing field has been equalized a bit with Madden 13. I think I was one of the only ones to beat Mole the whole time we were down there; although he won the tournament and killed me when we played in it...I have & had no fear going up against tournament players as a player who much like you Ryno..calls the play, hikes it, and lets it run its course unless intervening is needed.

As far as "User" catching goes; I dont think its a necessity that you do it but you have the option to and it may make you slightly better than someone who does not use it. If I feel the ball could possibly be intercepted; I will try and user catch but otherwise I just put the ball in a spot to where only my WR should be able to catch it and let the CPU do its thing.

Ea/Tiburon made a big deal about adding new drop backs. Has anyone noticed any difference wrt Madden 12?

Sounds encouraging. Looking forward to your vid tonight.

I have no clue, I never touched ganeplanning besides turning it off. Hit up RedZoneD25 he may know.

Disclaimer: I went into this focusing on user catching as it was my biggest pet peeve in the last 3 Madden Editions.
