What do you want to see in NCAA Football 13?

Psuexv, I feel your pain brother. This is a HUGE issue for me. What the cpu can do to your receiver and what you can do to the cpu receivers are NOT one and the same. I look off, pump fake and then launch and Mr. generic DB jumps up in the air and bats down the ball without ever looking at it I truly hope that the defensive awareness is seriously toned down to make reaction times far more realistic.

DB/WR interaction just has to be added before the deep or even middle passing games are going to be realistic. It's not the trajectory imo as much as the interactions don't allow for "body to body" contact and realistic attacking of the ball by BOTH players at the same time, in the same space. If this was part of the game then you would see a lot more realistic bat downs and incredible catches by Offense and Defense while not feeling as if you were "cheated" by the infamous over the shoulder or no look interception.

Good Db's need to be able to "ride" a wr from the inside while looking back for the ball. Bad Db's would more often "push" the wr, creating PI (also needing to become a part of the game again) or lose contact from a half step of separation before the ball arrives. Conversly good Wr's should be able to take contact while the ball is in the air and adjust to the ball, creating the same separation and/or truly out-playing the db for the ball. The Wr's already adjust like this but the lack of contact and the ability for the db to occupy the same space takes the positioning of the wr/db out of the equation and puts it all on ball placement by the qb. As we all know, it's as much positioning by the catchers as it is ball placement in real life that makes the difference.

The other thing that needs to be introduced here is the jump ball that is half caught and dropped, and "fall to the ground" catches by both wr and db. If 2 players go up in the same space a lot of times the catcher secures the ball by falling down away from the other player. Stuff like that would change the passing game in a serious, much less frustrating way.

DB/WR interactions would be great. They just need to tweak the whole system. If they add some player interactions, tone down awareness, and adjust trajectory it could really make for a great passing game.

Just think, you could have jump balls and battles, you wouldn't have a DB in MAN coverage peeling off of another WR to make a play on the ball and you might actually be able to launch a ball when your WR has 2 steps and let him run underneath it.
