Does aggressive catch work on Competitive?

I don't think I've ever had an aggressive catch work when not playing in arcade mode.

This is with having 89 Moss and 89 Odell. Every single time they get hit and the ball pops up 15 yards in the air.

I understand them nerfing it a bit from the Madden 16 levels where it was OP, but it seems like even when you have a solid matchup at WR and throw up a jump ball, elite WR's are rarely if ever coming down with them.

Anyone having any success with aggressive catch?

I like it that way. Although a semi catch in traffic wouldnt be too bad 

 I don’t mind it when it’s realistic. If I send tyreek hill on a slant and he gets met head up by Sean Taylor he’s supposed to drop the ball.

I wouldn't say it's broken, it's by design. Competitive players don't want a defended WR to be able to consistently go up and catch it over a DB even if it is a mismatch. Every once in a while you'll win a jump ball, but it's rare.

As someone else mentioned high points to curls in the redzone with an aggressive catch are consistent enough where I throw them especially against cover 2 or 3. If they're manned up, I rarely if ever come down with the ball.

I've had 1 handed aggressive spec catches with powered up OBJ in Solo Battles on Ultimate

Quote from ram813 >> I have found out that with my team vs. solo battles or any other competitive modes that if the receiver breaks it and is open you have to use some kind of catch. If I need to jump for the ball or whatever. I have also learned that with Williams I run up the middle and not sure if it is because I have a good line or what but I always get a min of 5 yards. I just run up the middle most plays and get good yards. 

 I run a lot as well, but on All Madden it's hard for me to run up the middle. So depending on what the defense comes out in I'll audible to a shotgun and get into a passing formation if they are all near the LOS

 Odd, I've never had any success with them. My guys get hit in the back, and do a flip and the ball sails 15 yards up into the air. I don't think I'm doing anything wrong either.

Quote from ram813 >> You have to be wide open for it to work in competitive. It doesn’t work sometimes in All Pro Arcade either. I use plays where I know the target will be open enough to do possession catch and then sometime they drop it. 

 Well shit if you're wide open what's the point in using agg catch lol
