Lurking the middle HAS to go

I have Simmons (no abilities on him) and he'll grab balls destined 15 yards behind him randomly every now and then. When you play certain guys, they literally hide at the LOS with their sub LB and then spam triangle on any pass over the middle (no matter how far it is). People complain about OSA but this is absolute garbage. I'm assuming this is lurker and not just acrobat but either way, they can snag post routes from the LOS which is absolute trash

They need to make all LB’s and DB’s that play at the LB spot to not be able to lurk; unless they have the lurker ability. This will also incentivize passing over running.

This game lacks serious depth perception. Same goes when they play their flats like 10-15 yards out. You call a corner route where the receiver is clearly going into open space yet they're able to click on and pick it off when in real life they would just be way out of position. Madden is just a deeply flawed game and that's not gonna change anytime soon as they still copy and paste everything for the new iteration.

For real this is not a real “simulation” football game

FuriousStyles916

DBs have better agg catch than WRs 😂

rstevens7

I had a guy constantly run cover 2 and I'd torch him over the middle deeeeeppp post td, play could not have been ran more perfect and his fucking Minkah would lurk the shit 20ft above his head

Idk how but Troy Polomalu somehow manages to grab my balls all the time. Dude is 5’10”

I'm 7-1 in WL. Only game I lost Simmons grabs my balls multiple times. I feel violated. He didn't even buy me dinner.

jasonkrizan

Yeah players should be forced to play on the line

havoconu

I 100% agree. Its bs

It's heat seeker. They need to take that bullshit out the game for real. These lames ain't got no lurking skills like that. In all the years I played this game you only had a few people that were really good with usering in the middle of the field until they added that dumb ass heat seeker and then as long as you got somebody 6'3 or better there you can sit there and pick everything. Damn safety can have 80 jumping but still pick off passes that's meant to go 20 yards down the field

I agree the INTs where you're throwing it to a receiver that's 15+ yards behind, and the user jumps and picks it is absolutely obnoxious. I've had it happen where I'm throwing an out route and he's not only 15 yards away, but not even in the passing lane.

I wish that there would be more of a penalty for nickel users when going against the run. As long as Mays or Troy P can shed lineman blockers like they're Junior Seau, it will be an issue.

I've started low ball passing a lot more over the middle, and it seems to have a little bit of an impact on ridiculous user INTs. But still sometimes the user will dive backwards and low to pick it off when his body is the other direction 🤣🤣🤣

Oh, and also a lot of success actually attacking the user... Sending a drag, a hitch, a post, and a late drag a right in his area.

Or maybe just get better and stop throwing books over the middle. Sounds like you just use drag routes 😂

Mutmoneyman

I agree

tpowell1990

A post isn’t a drag you clown

D2KDuFFy

Not my fault you suck at the game and can’t throw a simple route with out getting picked 😂 try solo battles

The player size / field size ratio is off. If the field dimensions are true then the players are 8-9 feet tall and can run sub 4 40s with pads on. I posted a clip of a MLB touching the center then running back 45 yards in less than 3 seconds to pick off a post with his back turned.

show me

It baffles me how they've been making this game for all these years and can't get shit like this right.

googanaba

I get caught all the time like this and lurkers making superhuman jumps for the INT.

Pass trajectory needs fixed.

I once had a play where a corner pressing a receiver lined up near the offensive line picked off a pass to a receiver running a wheel route by the sideline.

Git gudder

All the cool kids punch the center in the face and then hold triangle and run straight back to pick off passes

deckj2

😂

Touch/lob pass, take gunslinger off.

deckj2

I tried that. Only problem with this is when you really need gunslinger on certain passes you're screwed

bodybagdeda

I love it no complaints from me

noobatmaddennfl

Same there is a circle under me so just don’t throw at me

ProSlot

Don’t throw late over the middle. Its the cardinal qb sin
