WR jump balls on comeback routes.....

[Mr.Scarface]

Comeback routes or lobs in the end zone where the WR can square up have been unstoppable. I will have 2 to 3 defenders and they will not jump. The WR jumps straight up like his going to dunk and catches the ball while the Defenders just stand there. Anyone seen this?

Do you have auto strafe ON? If so, turn it off and use it to knock those down. The CPU tries to lob those over me and that's what I do.

Yeah, I agree. It's insane how tough these are to stop. Pretty darn annoying. Bring some extra pressure so they don't have time to wait for them to comeback.

If you time it right you can hit stick just before the ball gets there , it takes alot practice if done to early is pass interference if done right is incomplete every time

Just user pick it.......or bat it down....

It's hard some times. I altered sliders, not sure which one helped but it's less of an issue. i also found highlighting a reciever to cover helps get better coverage on this: Ie: Calvin johnson is against me. late in the game. I use WR spotlight (on ps3 R2 and symbol of reciever - you'll see a red circle under him) and I notice he didn't make any of those catches late in the game.

yea u gotta manual strafe and swat or jump for the interception attempt. i find strafing and using triangle/Y to go for an int the better option at defending these jumpballs. if u try to swat alot of times he doesnt jump and just swats on the ground and takes himself outta the play. when i try for the int, i will go up high like the receiver and pick it or knock it down or collide with the WR.

Plays like this are annoying, however, in the past the best way to figure out what the game wants you to do in order to stop it is to do it against them and see what they do. Especially on the harder levels. Do any of you try these routes vs the CPU? Are they successful then too?
